Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
This summer, OM did not hesitate to drop €30M to recruit Elye Wahi in order to compensate for the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. However, the former RC Lens player is struggling to establish himself in Marseille and that is starting to worry. However, Neal Maupay could well be his replacement at OM in the coming weeks.
This summer, OM began looking for a new number 9 to compensate for the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangand this is how the Marseille club dropped €30M, including bonus to recruit Elie Wahi coming from RC Lens. However, the former Montpellier player is struggling to establish himself in Marseille and criticism is rife, to the point that his status as an indisputable holder is called into question. Moreover, it could even be replaced by Neal Maupay what Mark Libra considered as “a great player».
Maupay to replace Wahi?
« Yes, he seems more comfortable, but he’s a great player. When he signed, I told myself that he was going to help Wahi progress, to help him move forward. He’s not afraid of anything, he goes for it. But Moumbagna’s injury changed everything for Wahi. If he doesn’t fart, maybe the situation is different. Everyone said he missed the inevitable against Reims, but it happens », says the former player of theABOUT in the columns of Provence before continuing.
“He’s a great player”
« Besides, people killed him because of his missed opportunities, but no one pointed out that he was at the conclusion and that he had the intelligence to be in the right place. He’s only 21, there’s no point in going after him. Aubameyang took two months to get back on his feet, then he was exceptional. It’s easy to type on Wahi. But it is perhaps the future of OM, we must not burn it (…) We may have to reshuffle the cards and put Neal Maupay in to protect Wahi. Maupay knows how to handle pressure. We saw him in Lyon, he has character. This is what I will do against Angers, but I am not in Roberto De Zerbi’s place. And if Maupay proves more decisive, it will be up to Wahi to work harder to regain his place. It’s called competition », added Mark Libra.
