Decidedly, Jorge Sampaoli has good relations with France, he who saw his adventure abruptly stop on the side of Olympique de Marseille last summer, in addition to having been eliminated from the 2018 World Cup by the French team, future world champion. The former Argentina coach joined Sevilla FC last October to save the legendary Spanish club from the red zone. A club through which he already passed during the 2016/2017 season and during which he rubbed shoulders with a certain… Wissam Ben Yedder. On the Andalusian club’s twitch channel, and after making eyes at Gerson and Dimitri Payet (OM), the 62-year-old coach praised the captain of AS Monaco.

“Wissam is great. We had noticed it with Monchi (note: sports director at the time), but he was not a very well-known player. Over time, for me, he is one of the best attackers. Although he doesn’t have the body of the others, I had to face him in France and he showed that in addition to finishing, he is also very physical. I like it very much and I appreciate it very much. People vibrated with him, I’ve met players from that era over time and we all remember him fondly. said the “Peludo”.
