The recipe for success? In a newspaper interview The TeamBrentford striker Bryan Mbeumo attributes his very good first half of the season to the quality of his personal work and his extra-sporting activities. He also returned in particular to his progress in finishing, illustrated by his goal against Chelsea (1-2 defeat, December 15): “ During a pre-season match, I missed a similar opportunity. After practice, I worked with an assistant to rehearse this finishing move. Through repetition, it became natural, and it paid off against Chelsea “.
Mbeumo doesn’t neglect the off-field aspects either. “ The terrain represents 90% of the success, but I try to maximize the benefits “, he explains. The player thus collaborates with various specialists: a chef to optimize his nutrition, a physiotherapist and a posture expert for recovery, a mental trainer and even a video analyst who sends him detailed decryptions.
