The rebirth of Jordy Gaspar… in Grenoble, or elsewhere

After an electrifying first few months in the capital of the Alps, Jordy Gaspar has been on alternating current for a year and a half. The right side of the GF38, on the other hand, seems to have started off on a very good footing this summer. A profitable “renaissance” in Grenoble. Provided that the player, who benefits from an exit voucher, remains.

The heat is oppressive. Grenoble footballers however, saw their session of the day start at 8:30 a.m. to avoid excessively high temperatures. However, when it comes to meeting “media” obligations, and despite legitimate fatigue, Jordy Gaspar does not lose his big smile. ” The conditions are difficult but we make do with it. We do not have a choice “, fatalizes the Lyonnais. ” But we try to adapt to the level of schedules. The freshness of this morning has been good. »

The right-back knows that future rewards will come from today’s efforts. Efforts, Jordy probably also made during his vacation. The player returned to the training grounds extremely sharp, perhaps even as he has rarely been since his arrival in the Alps. ” It’s true that I feel better. I tried to be careful during the holidays, to bring a little more discipline. »

Despite a more satisfactory second half of the season, the former Monaco player left a mixed impression last year. Especially because his debut in Grenoble had set expectations very high. So much so that after a few months we were mainly wondering which would be the first Ligue 1 club to smell the good deal. Maybe also the 4^th Place des Grenoblois has unconsciously made us forget that when you are the GF38, success only comes from work and effort.

The scares of the last exercise seem in any case to have raised awareness. ” For me there was a big question mark. After a season, you have to try to see what there is to erase. I had finished in power but we can’t wait to be halfway through the season for that and I needed to start strong again this year. »

“I am from Grenoble”

In view of the first preparation matches, Gaspar has given himself the means to move forward. Even if is of course not perfect, logically, during this preparation. “On a personal level, I think I’m more into canes. But I didn’t manage to duplicate much. We have to find a new relationship with Jordan Tell who is evolving on one side this season or with Okardi. Collectively we are already showing things but relations still need to improve. »

10 days before the start of the championship and with two last preparation matches on the menu, the Grenoble residents still have a little time to improve the details and confirm the promises seen in recent weeks.

Jordy Gaspar, already surly on the defensive level, will be able to improve the automatisms on his right lane to bring on the offensive level, one of his main qualities when he has juice. In any case if he stays. Because the player has an exit voucher and has been the subject of some rumors since the start of the transfer window. ” I am from Grenoble. As long as I’m not gone I will be. And I live it very well. There’s a great group here, I can’t complain. I don’t stay reluctantly. I know what Grenoble has given me and I want to give it back. It’s true that the exit slip is there and that I can leave, but if I have to stay, there won’t be any bitterness. I will be there to bring. »

The promises of a preparation do not always reverberate in official competition. But some signs are unmistakable. This Gaspar smells like the grand cru. And we have already seen what a Jordy Gaspar on a mission could bring to the GF38…
