The coach of Lillet, Paulo Fonseca, has spoken about the rapid development of Edon Zhegrovos, who from match to match is turning into the main player of the team from Ligue 1 of France. This was best confirmed by Zhegrova in the last match of Lillet against Paris Saint-Germain, which ended 1:1, wrote the French daily "L'Equipe" on Wednesday.
The winger had a fantastic performance and was finally named the player of the match even though he did not score a goal or assist. During the entire match, Zhegrova caused trouble for the defender of Paris and the representative of France, Lucas Hernandez.
Coach Fonseca has spoken about the transformation of the 24-year-old, whose statistics, especially those of successful dribbling, are getting better and better. In the matches played so far this edition, Zhegrova has scored three goals and made five assists with Lillet's shirt. But his contribution goes beyond goals and assists.
"I can't say many good things about Edon because he would think later that he is the best in the world", Fonseca said with a laugh.
The Portuguese coach has admitted that Zhegrova is no longer the player he was a year ago, as he has improved a lot in all aspects. Zhegrova joined Lille in January last year from Basel, while he has a contract with the French team until the summer of 2026.
"He has improved a lot, he has changed a lot in all aspects. When I came to Lille he was an individual player who played an individual game. Now Edoni plays for the team, makes decisions for the team, understands the moments of the match. So he knows when to dribble and when to follow. This is his big change from last year", said Fonseca.

Fonseca also highly appreciates the fact that Zhegrova has made changes in the defensive aspect as well. This is something that the Portuguese enjoys the most.
"What makes me the most happy is Edon's defensive aspect", admitted Fonseca. "Edon has become a player who helps all teams through his game. And, for me, this is the most important thing in his development".
