Returning to Ligue 1 this summer to join RC Lens, after experiences in Scotland (Celtic) and the Premier League (Crystal Palace, Leicester), Odsonne Édouard returned to his career during a long interview given to The Team. The former prospect trained at PSG focused in particular on his years at the Parisian training center and his rapid adaptation to the first team, at 17, thanks to the support of two former stars of the capital club.
“My adaptation was very quick, because we had a great generation among young people. Then I moved up to the pros at 17 in 2015, with the superstars. I had a lot of pressure during the first training sessions, but they made me feel comfortable straight away. When we leave the center, we play for fun, but once with them, that's all over, you can't lose. There was a winning mentality and you had to imbibe it. But whether it was (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic or (Edinson) Cavani, both were very protective of me and gave me a lot of advice. We did finishing drills where I tried to imitate them. I'm not like them today (laughs), but they made me better. As soon as I lost balls or missed chances, Zlatan would tell me to stay after training to work again and again.confided the native of Bobigny.
