By showing himself particularly laudatory towards his friend Mattéo Guendouzi, whom he would not rule out, in absolute terms, from joining one day at OM, Denis Bouanga drew the wrath of some supporters of Saint-Etienne and has had to dot the “i”.
In current football, every word must remain measured, and Denis Bouanga has just learned it at his expense. On Monday, AS Saint-Etienne winger spoke of the upward trajectory of his former teammate from Lorient and friend, Mattéo Guendouzi, with OM, and expressed the possibility of joining him one day on La Canebière or in another team.
“Matteo releases a lot of energy, and with maturity, he will explode this season in L1. He will flourish there. He told me that he was ready to settle in Marseille. (…) Why not play with him one day, at theOM or elsewhere, because we know each other well, he knows my movements and I know that his quality of passing and his vision of the game would allow me to enjoy myself “, explained in particular the former Nîmes during an interview with the magazine Football.
Words that inevitably annoyed some of the Saint-Etienne fans, critical of their player and his intentions. In order to quickly calm the rumors and put out the start of a fire, Bouanga immediately reacted to Twitter to put things right.
“Stop your shortcuts a bit. Mattéo Guendouzi is a close friend in addition to being a great player. I am not making any appeal! I am fully (Stéphanois). Once again, I am answering questions dating from June- July to distort my answers in October… “, underlined the Gabonese international, quite annoyed with the timing of the publication of the interview but also with its content.
This has the merit of being perfectly clear!
