“Anel will be a great player for Bordeaux and a great investment” –

The Girondins de Bordeaux got their hands on Anel Ahmedhodzic on the gong. This great Bosnian hope arouses enormous enthusiasm among the supporters of the club with the scapular. And it is not the testimony of his former coach in Malmö Jon Dahl Tomasson who will bring down this enthusiasm.

He is one of the great attractions of the last straight line of the transfer window in Ligue 1. Tracked by the Stade de Reims, Anel Ahmedhodzic (22) finally signed up with the Girondins de Bordeaux. This central defender, on loan with an option to buy from Malmö, is preceded by a flattering reputation, born of the famous simulation game Football Manager and a very promising professional debut. And who better than his former coach on the MFF side, Jon Dahl Tomasson, to enlighten us on the Bosnian international (12 caps, 1 achievement).

The former star striker from Denmark (112 caps, 54 goals) has indeed been the coach of the native of Sarajevo for the past two seasons with the Swedish team. “When I arrived in Malmö, I immediately insisted on bringing Anel back from his loan to a more modest club in Denmark (Hobro, editor’s note), because I had no doubts about his potential. I had no doubts that he was a player I will use in my starting XI from day one., he explained to us before continuing.

Speed, duels, revival and mental, the winning cocktail

“The first time I saw Anel I was impressed with his speed, his great strength in one-on-one duels and his quality of footing to build from behind. I want my teams to start from behind. He is a modern centre-back who is strong with and without the ball. He was perfect for the style of play I wanted for my Malmö: dynamic, fluid and attacking.”, summed up the formidable scorer who successfully played for AC Milan, VfB Stuttgart, Villarreal, Newcastle or Feyenoord.

Together, the two men won the last two Allsvenskan championship titles. Better, they even reached the group stage of the Champions League this season (last in their group behind Juventus, Chelsea and Zenit). Each time, the right axial responded present, as in selection. “He always showed his class with Malmö in Sweden, where he was a very important player in our two league titles, and internationally, when we qualified for the Champions League passing four rounds to reach the phase of hens. He also showed that with his national team, I remember for example a fantastic match for Anel with Bosnia against France., he told us.

For all these reasons, the 45-year-old technician predicts a bright future for his now former player on the side of Matmut Atlantique and L1. “I have no doubt that Anel will be a great player for Bordeaux and a great investment, because Anel is young and extremely talented. He has this big mentality, which makes him give everything to win and to continue to offer the best of himself game after game. He has this huge appetite to always want to progress even more., he assured us. We only ask to see!
