A philosophy could not be clear behind the departures of Wahi and Koné?

Olympique de Marseille decides to decide in the heart. Only six months after their arrivals, Elye Wahi and Ismaël Koné are already about to pack their bags. The first named has already joined Eintracht Frankfurt while the second could join Stade Rennais as part of an exchange with Amine Gouiri. And to believe the information of RMC Sport, these two examples would allow OM to publicly display its sports policy, and more precisely that of its coach Roberto de Zerbi, in whom total confidence is granted.

No problem acting quickly!

Since his arrival last summer, the Italian has continued to highlight the principle of meritocracy. For him, there is no question of propeling in front of the stage the names that cost dear (Wahi, Koné, Brassier) to the detriment of others (Nadir, Vaz) who will have shown him more during training sessions. An impeccable state of mind is expected and whoever will not satisfy the consequences. An “intractable requirement in the mind, behavior and combativeness” is thus expected on the banks of the canebière. In other words, we no longer want to waste time and there will be no worries to act on chess. An assumed management philosophy, even if decisions may seem brutal on the spot.

Which was once again in the sense of the words of “RDZ” this Friday at a press conference when talking about the departures of Wahi and Koné: “It is a choice of the club. We wanted it (Koné), he is very strong, he is a good boy. But we know our objectives, the team we want. In recent months, Ismaël has not shown me that he was able to be part of this project, I play the players who deserve it, who have their responsibilities. We build an ever stronger team. You know, there are players who take personal physical preparers (…) if there is not the right connection between the two it becomes problem. With Elye Wahi, for example, it was the case“. The players are warned, no gifts will not be made by their coach!
