Bordeaux striker Cornelius: Cardiff? I was caught in middle of something

Bordeaux striker Andreas Cornelius has spoken of his ill-fated spell at Cardiff.

Cornelius, on-loan at Bordeaux from Atalanta, views his time in Wales as a learning experience.

He said, "It was a good opportunity for me to go from Copenhagen to the Premier League and I was excited, but a lot of things happened and it didn't work out.

“Maybe I went to Cardiff too early in my career, I don't know. There were a lot of different things going on at the time with the manager and then the sports director (Ian Moody) got sacked.

“When I look back on it all, maybe it's right I was caught in the middle of something."

He also said, “I'm very happy so far and it's all in the past. I've played in the Champions League with Copenhagen, I played at the World Cup this summer, and I've played in two big leagues after the Premier League.

“Maybe I'll play in the Premier League again, but in my opinion it's not the only place where football is good. The Premier League is not the only great league in the world, there are definitely other good leagues and maybe better leagues than the Premier League."
