Regis Le Bris has praised Jobe Bellingham and spoke about the 18-year-old's best position, while also discussing how to ease the goalscoring burden for Eliezer Mayenda.
BELLINGHAM VERSATILITY
He is still a young player with the ability to play a number of different roles, but I like him as an eight because I think as an offensive midfielder he can express his power, his ability to run, his ability to press, his ability to make the link between defence and attack."
SUITED TO THE LEFT
“He is very linked with our left triangle with Dennis [Cirkin] and Romaine [Mundle], so I think that could be his position, but because he is young he has a big potential with many elements to develop, so we can be surprised by other qualities. For me, his best position is as an offensive midfielder on the left side, but we will see over the season if he is able to develop other sides.”
MAYENDA TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY
“The question of the striker for the team is still in the air. It’s like Romaine [Mundle] - he [Mayenda] had this opportunity to play and he played very well, especially during the last game. He showed that he has the potential to play at that level. Then the problem is still the consistency, the ability to repeat."
OTHER GOAL THREATS
“I want to say as well that the striker is not the only player on the pitch who has the responsibility to score. In many teams, the striker could be the only one, but I think in our squad, we need to create the danger from many sides - with the striker, with the wingers, with the offensive midfielders, with the set-pieces as well. When the responsibility is shared it is always more dangerous, and I think for the confidence of the striker, when he doesn’t score for maybe two or three games, it is not a problem, because we have other players with the ability to score.”
