“Every second counts”- Super Eagles snub Akor Adams reveals difference between French and Spanish football

Nigerian striker Akor Adams has stated that the major difference between La Liga and the Ligue 1 is the pace and physicality, Soccernet.ng reports.

Adams has been on the move for the past two years. He joined Montpellier from Lillestrom in 2023 for €4.5 million. And after 13 goals and three assists in 49 appearances, he completed a surprise transfer to Spanish La Liga club Sevilla in January.

Unfortunately for him, he has struggled to make an impact yet due to injury issues. Adams has played just two games for Los Nervionenses due to injury. However, he seems to have experience just enough football in Spain to tell the difference between Spanish football and French football.

“The intensity at which the ball moves in Spain, it’s very fast. But in France, you have enough time on the ball because it’s very physical,” Adams told Sporty TV.

“But here in Spain, you do everything with the ball so you have to be very very attentive to everything happening. Every second counts, it’s a very tactical and technical league.”
