The 24-year-old central defender Lilian Brassier is announced at theOlympic Marseille for several weeks. His teammate at Stade Brestois this season Hugo Magnetti did not hesitate to praise him on the FCM show, “Lilian, what impressed me the most over the last 2 years is his progress in his quality of recovery. It’s true that he has always been a tough man, hard to pass, he is very very fast but he has always lacked this level of recovery. And frankly this year, me who plays on his side a little more in the middle, he regaled me with some slightly hidden passes and everything. I think that’s what he was missing, if he comes to OM he will bring a very very big plus to this team.” explains the Brest environment.
“Brassier Balerdi, it could be difficult for the attackers”
« Frankly, he’s a great guy, they say, he’s always the joy of living, a bon vivant, he’s respectful and everything, so that was me, I got on really, really well with him. ” he explains about his teammate’s character. ” He has a form of self-assurance that comes across on the pitch but even when you talk to him he has a certain not arrogance but he knows what he can do, he knows his qualities. And yeah I think he really has the right role to wear this jersey. It’s certain that if next year the defense of Olympique de Marseille is Brassier Balerdi it could be hard for the attackers. ” adds the Marseille native, who thinks that his teammate has what it takes to be in Marseille.
