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.

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.
