Formerly of the France team, Sylvain Wiltord has found his successor at Lens. And according to Johan Micoud, it is Elye Wahi
Once again, it was he who was decisive. Tuesday evening in the Champions League, during a group match against PSV Eindhoven, Racing Club de Lens was able to count on Elye Wahi to avoid defeat (1-1). The only Blood and Gold scorer of the evening, the defector from Montpellier was able to find the fault in the Dutch defense to snatch the point from a draw on the Bollaert-Delelis pitch. For Johan Micoud, the providential man from RC Lens looks like Sylvain Wiltord.
Former partner of the man who snatched the equalizer against Italy in the Euro 2000 final, before David Trézéguet’s legendary and victorious goal for the French team, Johan Micoud drew the parallel between Wiltord and Wahi . The channel consultant The Team developed his point of view. “ I find that Wahi reminds me of gestures that Sylvain Wiltord sometimes had. He has an attitude, an ease, a run. And I find that, for an attacker, he has one thing that is not bad, which is that he is not clumsy in front of goal. I think his actions are fair. A bit like Sylvain, he flees the opponent and he reminds me of that at times. So if he can have the same career, that wouldn’t be bad.“
Effective in front of goal
After a few weeks of somewhat complicated adaptation, Elye Wahi finally found his place in the game developed by Franck Haise’s team. His statistics now prove it since in nine matches, all competitions combined, the international Espoirs has already scored three goals (including two in the Champions League) and offered two assists. So many promises that the young French striker will have to work to confirm in the weeks and months to come.
