Yoann Gourcuff is to me the best player of his generation, in front of Benzema, Ben Arfa, Nasri and Menez. He is unbelievable in his knowledge of football, how he knows the game and what is the good game. His father educated him like that, and grew up like that at Rennes.
He went to Milan AC when he was 17, but it just didn’t click well for him, because of his awkward personality. But in terms of football he was phenomenal at Bordeaux and won the title at 22, when he was the main player, very few can do the same at his age.
But then he struggles to draw the comparison with Zidane, the mediatic machine, and the fans went crazy with him…
The pretty boy, well educated unlike the boys like Menez and co….. and he’s so weird as a person, that he tends to inwards, when all of this appears….
He was isolated and really became hypochondriac. He never plays when is not 100%. He listen his body and his mind too much. Not a single player plays without a small niggles here and there, but not him, he only declares him fit when he decides…. It’s unbelievable, once he injured his ankle when he was out with his dog. He told Remi Garde last year that he could play because he checked Lacazette’s hand on the bench and twisted his hand….
He doesn’t speaks a lot with his team mates on training, spending time with himself working and not laughing with them…. Too professional or too crazy you can choose. But something is amazing more that his technic, which is far better than the likes of Blind, Herrera and even Mata, is his stamina…. The boy can run without stopping. During his last rehab, he trained with the French national of running (20Km), he was near them during the run… it was his first training for 3 months..
It’s just a shame he is so weird, but he so talented
The second week in a row they're killing my Under 2.5 goals bet. Come on Arsenal!!!!
