Regis Le Bris has outlined what kind of forward the club are looking for as deadline day approaches. However, the Head Coach explains that it doesn't necessarily have to be a traditional number nine, it could be a winger or a player who could move across various positions.
RUN IN BEHIND
“For sure, this is clear now. We probably still need some more vertical threats, players who could run in behind. This could be a striker, but also a winger, maybe a versatile player. So, this is still very much in our mind, but we will see what comes in these next weeks. But it is not necessarily about a number nine.”
MAYENDA STEPPED UP
“He (Mayenda) is in a good place. He struggled sometimes, and that was probably a part of his learning curve. It can be high, it can low, but his behaviour out on the pitch was always positive."
BODY LANGUAGE
“Sometimes, his body language can suggest that he is not really involved, but it is really the opposite. It is probably just the way he is, maybe it is something he does to try to protect himself. But he really wants to improve and, when he struggles, he doesn’t like that. I think, now, he deserves to be at that level (in the starting team), and he will be very important for us because he helps out of possession, he helps in possession, and he scores goals. We like this type of player in the team.”
