Complicated start to the season for Ben Yedder

Admittedly, there was this consistent draw on the lawn of Paris Saint-Germain at the end of August. This narrow success on the side of Strasbourg. But at the same time, the Rocher club lost heavily twice at home, against Lens and Troyes. As a symbol, his captain Wissam Ben Yedder, so prolific a few weeks earlier, failed to find the target.
A missed start to the season which paid cash in selection. Despite the many absences, coach Didier Deschamps is a favorite of players like Olivier Giroud and Randal Kolo Muani. “He is going through a period that is not the best for him.

ASM returned to the Top 5 and seems to have launched its season. Like the 32-year-old?

And we continue to work a lot because everyone dreams of this World Cup. There are complicated periods yes, but you have to work twice, even three times more. I found the efficiency at the right time, but we must continue. We’ll see at the end“, explained the native of Sarcelles. Who knows this World would probably be the one and only of his career. The man with 19 selections for the France team (3 goals) had been called up for the last Euro, without playing a single minute. This time is the right one?
