Brentford FC has found itself in a promising position in the Premier League, having secured victories in their last three matches. Currently sitting in ninth place, the team is on the verge of qualifying for European competition for the first time in its history. Players such as Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have really raised their game this season. Their stellar efforts follow in the footsteps of Ivan Toney’s summer transfer to Al Ahli, last summer.
Toney, having been essential to the club’s survival during a transitional season after the loss of Ollie Watkins and Saïd Benrahma to bigger clubs, is missing. Brentford’s form though, even with this postponement, has been impressive. Both Mbeumo and Wissa have scored 18 goals in the Premier League each. That kind of versatility on display proves they’re more than capable of filling the void left by Toney. Their combined contributions have been crucial to Brentford’s fairytale recent success.
Christian Nørgaard, one of the most impactful players in the team, said he was happy with his team’s situation in a season going mostly right for Brentford. He said there was pressure due to talk of possible exits for important players including Mbeumo and Wissa.
“I’m pretty calm about what will happen with Bryan and Wissa,” – Christian Nørgaard
Nørgaard is hopeful. He noted how such conversations tend to raise concerns among the ranks. He said the focus attention needs to be put on what happens with them on the field.
“A lot of questions are asked about them and you can almost feel the worries around the players when you talk about them maybe leaving us,” – Christian Nørgaard
With speculation growing that Bryan might be on his way out of Brentford, Nørgaard told the press recently, “I wouldn’t be surprised if Bryan was sold.” If that happens, it would be a drastic shift in the team’s offensive philosophy. No matter any of these shifts, fear not, Merlin fans! He hinted that he’s still pleased with the season’s results.
“Either way, I’m happy for the season and am happy for both of them. They deserve it so much,” – Christian Nørgaard
Brentford has been the team that’s made me happiest this season. Frank Leboeuf, Former Professional Footballer. He singled out Mbeumo and Wissa for their superlative works. He recognized that their contributions have helped keep the team’s morale high when spirits might have sagged during most trying times.
Another crucial element to Brentford’s success has been their talent in the recruitment department. It’s the club’s deep bench that always seems to keep the club a few strides ahead of the planning-and-development curve. They’re doing an admirable job trying to handle these challenges. If Bryan goes, it might bring in new offensive personnel with innovative strategies.
