Florian Thauvin was the great bomb of the Liga MX market for the Grita México 2021 tournament. The French attacker, world champion in Russia 2018, surprisingly signed with Tigres after being released from Olympique de Marseille. The European soccer player has not been able to weigh on Mexican soccer during his first tournament.
In a recent interview, the forward spoke about how he came to the UANL team and the role that André Pierre Gignac, his compatriot, played in joining the feline squad. The top scorer in Tigres history played a pivotal role in convincing Thauvin to come to Mexico.
Thauvin revealed in an interview for the official channel of Tigres that he saw a message from Gignac in which he informed him that he had spoken with the president of Tigres to specify his arrival. “He told me that he knew he had many opportunities, but that it was time to play there. He commented that I had to give him confidence,” said Florian.
In the conversation, Thauvin mentioned that his wife was not convinced to come to Mexico, but that after reviewing information about the club, he made his decision, which was approved by his family.
“I really loved what I saw on the internet. I saw my wife and she was in my son’s room, I told her that Gignac had spoken to me. I told my wife that the club loved me, that I wanted to go. She reassured me, She said there were very big clubs near France that wanted me. But I came and convinced her, “added Thauvin.
