Bruno Cheyrou
Recruited in Summer 2006, Bruno Cheyrou wasn’t unanimously welcomed in Rennes. However, after a difficult start, he imposed himself as a leader in the midfield. Very technical, left footed, he is at his best in central position, either just ahead of the defensive line or right behind the forwards. The former Liverpool man had a difficult second season, Guy Lacombe even trying him as a Centre Back, with little success. His 2008-2009 season was more successful, even though he didn’t manage to establish himself as an incumbent starter. In Summer 2009, he was a victim of Yann M’Vila’s outbreak in the first team, and his playing time was restricted to the minimum. In January 2010, he was released from Rennes and signed an 18-month contract with Anorthosis Famagusta (Cyprus).
