France forward of Ivorian descent, Elye Wahi has disclosed that the German Bundesliga is faster and gives more spaces to attacker.
The 22-year-old signed for German Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt in the winter transfer window in a move from French Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille.
Giving his initial reaction to the Bundesliga, the forward said it is different from the French Ligue 1.
“It’s very fast. There’s more space so it’s better for the attackers, especially for me because I’m quite fast and can get deep.
“Even in training it’s completely different. The coach wants us to constantly run and press. It’s a different mentality – it’s no longer the French mentality, I’m learning,” Elye Wahi said in an interview with L’Équipe.
The forward continued, “They demand more effort in training or matches. You have to be constantly focused. That’s the hallmark of the big leagues. I’m not saying it’s superior to France, but it’s different.”
Elye Wahi is hoping to excel at Frankfurt to take his career to the next level.
