Pele To Stay With Le Mans
The French transfer window has been a decidedly low-key affair this January, more about moves that didn’t materialise than those that did. Fittingly, it seems that one of the few sagas that has run the course of the month will end in a similar vein as Yohann Pele has declared that he will remain at Le Mans until the end of the season.
A highly-rated 26-year-old goalkeeper, Pele has attracted the attentions of several Premier League clubs and had been reported today to be closing in on a move to Serie A outfit Roma. However, such rumours were dispelled in an interview with Foot+ this evening.
“I will remain [in Le Mans] until the end of the season,” declared the stopper, who has recently been rewarded for his fine displays with a call-up to the French international set-up. “I will not leave the ship in mid-season. I want to help Le Mans stay in Ligue 1. Everything must be given to Le Mans.”
The Sarthe outfit suffered a disappointing 2-0 reverse against Nantes at home this evening, a result that leaves Yves Bertucci’s young side in a precarious position. Pele was not particularly impressed with his side’s performance and has struggled to put his finger on the reasons why a good start to the match came to naught.
“We will not take away from their victory,” he said. “We made a good start to the match but then I don’t know what happened. We lost too many duels and they deserved to win the game. They were more motivated than us.”
Le Mans, after a bright start to their campaign, have tumbled down the league and are now only six points clear of the drop zone. They will need all of Pele’s talents to help turn their season around in the coming weeks.
贝利将留在勒芒直到赛季末 |
