Lille president Olivier Létang will be smiling after watching Ayyoub Bouaddi against Brazil. It was rumored that he wanted €70m to sell him. Now, he will definitely want more. That was an outstanding performance.
Strasbourg's Mourabet was also very good when he came on. I don't think Mourabet is worse than Bouaddi, but they are just different profiles.
Bouaddi is more of a ball-carrying central midfielder, while Mourabet is more like a deep conductor.
