The Sunderland head coach was full of praise for his two key performers in the win over Hull City
“He plays for the team, he has very good experience and is very important in the dressing room and on the pitch, individually and with the others. It is like a gift for a coach and a team like us. His maturity is very helpful for us.”
Le Bris was also full of praise for Wilson Isidor after his superb individual goal proved to be the difference between the two sides. Isidor now has three goals in four starts since moving into the centre forward role and the Sunderland head coach says there is still much more to come from the Frenchman.
“He took the goal very well,” he said.
“The journey a player goes on can be very unpredictable, but when he signed, I knew he was versatile. I knew he could play as a left winger, a right winger or as a striker. I always knew playing as a striker was a possibility for him. He has that quality to eat the space. He can run, run and run. Then, at the end, he kept his concentration to deal with the goalkeeper and produce the finish. It was a brilliant goal.
“I am satisfied with how he has started. He possesses many abilities and has demonstrated his ability to perform at this level. He also has many elements to grow, and having traits and a commitment to improve, as well as knowing you can improve many aspects of your game, is beneficial in the long run.
Isidor is looking like an excellent piece of recruitment for the Black Cats after their well-documented striker woes last season, and Le Bris is hoping that it will continue to work out for all sides.
“There is always competition for good players – maybe we had an advantage because I knew him before,” he told me.
“I was connected with his story and his environment. It’s still a question of confidence with a player, with a coach and with a club as well. Sunderland is a big club and, for him, it is a new step in his career. He wanted to go back into Europe, and Sunderland is very important for him, I think. The link between us maybe made the difference. It’s not always a question of money, it is a question of creating the right environment to learn. I think Wilson is like that. He wants to learn and improve, and give his best for the team. He felt that feeling during our conversations.”
