A declaration of love in good and due form. Scorer of a goal against Brest (1-1) on Sunday, Racing striker Ludovic Ajorque reaffirms his attachment to Racing Club de Strasbourg.
Until the last hours of the summer transfer window this Thursday, the one who is one of the pillars of the Strasbourg attack (46 goals in four seasons) was expected to leave the team he has been part of since 2018. In view of his performance , he benefited from an exit ticket for services rendered. German clubs (Hertha Berlin, Stuttgart) had said they were ready to line up the millions to recruit Ludovic Ajorque. The Racing transfer window ultimately turned out to be much wiser than imagined.
“I’ve always said it, it’s not because I wanted to discover something else, another adventure, that I don’t like Racing. I’ve always liked Racing and I still do. I’m happy to be here, happy to play with my teammates and happy to be coached by a coach like Julien Stéphan. I didn’t want to leave because I don’t like Racing, I’ll take that right away.” hammered the striker at the microphone of France Bleu Alsace, a few minutes after the end of the match.
The negotiations and doubts around his potential departure from the club during the transfer window marked and made the 28-year-old grow. “It’s not easy, it was the first time for me, he confirms. I learn from this experience. The coach spoke to me a lot, the president spoke to me a lot. We tried to manage it as best we could. It’s over now, we don’t talk about it anymore.”
