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.

Be, be, be, be, Cornet

In the game first: “Maxwel Cornet changed our game, noted his trainer. Before he came, we didn’t have that ability to control the game. We couldn’t keep the ball. 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.

Cornet, who worked on his lifestyle by securing the services of a chef or by inflicting hours of learning English, integrated in the blink of an eye, to the point of imposing Vegedream and his “Bring Home the Cup” in the locker room according to The Athletic reports. “We are lucky to have it“Insists Wood. Now adopted by his new fans, who have already dedicated a song to him (“ole, ole, ole, ole, Cornet“), Cornet is far from the hostility of Groupama Stadium while Burnley, according to the admission of the local daily, sank into the”Maxwel-mania“. Like what, in football, fatality does not exist.
