Bouaddi: Meunier & Giroud Offer Praise

This Sunday, Losc won at home against Angers as part of the 11th day of Ligue 1, with a great Ayyoub Bouaddi.

“He is one of a kind”declared defender Thomas Meunier about his young teammate Ayyoub Bouaddi, Lille’s best player on Sunday against Angers (1-0) during the 11th day of Ligue 1.

“Ayyoub is a very clean guy. That’s what I also like about him: he doesn’t make a fuss, you don’t hear him talk, you don’t hear him complain”continued the Belgian international. Bouaddi, who celebrated his 18th birthday at the beginning of October, delivered his first assist of the season on Sunday on the only goal of Lille’s victory, signed by Félix Correia.

“These are the kind of young people we want to have in a team,” rejoiced Thomas Meunier. He also pulls the other young people behind him, still smiling. If he doesn’t get injured, I think it’s going to be difficult to dislodge a kid like Ayyoub, because he’s starting to have considerable importance in the group.

Olivier Giroud, Losc striker, also appreciated the performance of his young teammate. “Tonight he was huge. He dribbles everywhere.” Thomas Meunier already predicts a bright future for him: “He still has twenty years of career ahead of him. At this pace, it’s certain that he won’t last long in Lille!”
