Irvin Cardona thrives in new role as summer redemption gathers pace | OneFootball

Irvin Cardona is thriving in a hybrid role within Ian Cathro’s two-man attack, and his understanding with Breum and Ballo is clicking, Le Progres reports.

The forward turned 29 last Saturday at Sochaux, a 0-3, marking the occasion with a brace.

He followed up on Friday night against Clermont, 3-1, curling in his third of the season with a first-time finish. He now leads the Ligue 2 scoring chart after two rounds.

It marks a turnaround after a subdued end to last season, when he managed only two in the run-in. He finished the campaign on seven goals and the same number of assists.

Nîmes-born, Cardona appears reinvigorated in Cathro’s system as this summer unfolds.
