Loaned with an option to buy from Inter Milan, Argentinian midfielder Valentin Carboni has rarely appeared with Olympique de Marseille. Physical problems slow down his adaptation but do not affect the confidence of coach Roberto De Zerbi.
For supporters of Olympique de Marseille, Valentin Carboni is a mystery. When he arrived on loan this summer, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder was presented as a very promising talent. Which explains why Inter Milan set the release clause at 36 million euros. But since the start of the season, the Argentinian has only appeared three times, for a total of 55 minutes of play. Particularly to blame are physical glitches which are slowing down his adaptation. Nothing to worry about coach Roberto De Zerbi.
Carboni arrived injured
« How do I see its evolution? That’s a good question. Like you, I’m waiting for him to hatchreplied the Italian to journalists. I really wanted him on the team because I think he will become a great player. He already has a lot of qualities, but he has the potential to become even stronger. Unfortunately, he arrived with physical problems, which prevented him from training regularly. It’s only been two weeks since he managed to string together the sessions with continuity. »
« We now have to see when it will be the right time for him, if he is physically ready in terms of speed and strength, in order to be able to express his full potential.continued the Marseille coach. But he is not the only one in this situation. Koné is also a player with enormous potential who could claim a starting place. Since my arrival, he has been part of the group very little due to successive injuries. He has just been injured again and will be out for a few more weeks. Unfortunately, this is part of football. » Apparently, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni shares this opinion since Valentin Carboni has been summoned again.
