Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier is praised by ex opponent.
Tottenham Hotspur star Serge Aurier has been named by a Ligue 1 star as his hardest ever opponent.
Metz ace Yann Jouffre, formerly of Lorient and Guingamp, played against Aurier when he was at PSG.
Speaking to Ouest France, midfielder Jouffre said he disliked playing against Aurier.
He said: “Serge Aurier, he always made me miserable.
“When I played against him, or against the great Henri Bedimo of Montpellier, I did not enjoy the day.
“I did not like these type of defenders, powerful, fast, who always came back, even after a dribble … War machines!
“Aurier, he had muscles that I did not even imagine. I thought, “P … as long as the match ends! It was a nightmare.”
Aurier is in his second season at Tottenham and competing with Kieran Trippier for the right-back spot.
The Ivorian missed Tottenham’s game against Liverpool at the weekend with an injury.
Premier Injuries report he has a 25 per cent chance of making the midweek clash at home to Crystal Palace.
