In football, fatality does not exist and Maxwel Cornet has experienced it since his professional beginnings. In Lyon, he faced violent storms. Head of Turkish at Groupama Stadium, mocked for his clumsiness in front of goal, he was also the man of major events. Above all, a man of paradox. Great hope in attack, he won his place in defense in Lyon. Often disappointing in Ligue 1, he shone in prestigious European posters.
Grieved by his supporters, he won the esteem of Pep Guardiola by destroying Manchester City (4 goals in three matches) until obtaining the praise of the greatest coach of his generation: “I was very impressed by the talent of Maxwel Cornet.“He had to fight, face adversity, not to say hostility, in his own camp. So, for a few weeks now, he must fully appreciate the new turn taken by his career. Cornet has finally found some success. serenity.

Perfect Marriage and Vegedream
At Burnley, where he landed this summer, he is having a blast after regaining the post of attacker. The Ivorian has scored five times in his first seven Premier League games, including a few gems like his volley last week against Crystal Palace. Transfigured since he crossed the Channel, Cornet is no longer debating. “He arrived with such energy, welcomed Steeve Dyche, his coach. There is real freedom in his game, that’s why we recruited him. He really brings something more to the team, it shows clearly.“
Cornet at Burnley is the story of a perfect marriage. He was looking for a more peaceful environment where he could blossom in serenity. As for the Clarets, they found the piece that was missing from their puzzle. A solid, aggressive, united team, the club from north Manchester lacked a touch of talent and the man capable of turning the meeting on its side. The former Lyonnais fell just right.

With him we now have several options.“And in the rest:”He’s crisp, fresh, he has the exuberance that we probably needed in this club“, noted Chris Wood, his captain.
