An important player in the Olympique de Marseille squad should be given a new role over time.
It has become the symbol of the De Zerbi method. First pushed towards the exit at the start of the summer, Geoffrey Kondogbia managed to convince his new coach during the pre-season. Now rave about the Central African international, the coach ofMarseille Olympic also assigned a new role to his protégé.
Because Kondobia must indeed deal with very intense competition in the midfield. And in this context, the salvation of the former Atlético de Madrid player requires a change of position. After retreating into central defense, Kondogbia reassured.
“We discussed this reconversion last season”
Well placed to comment on the performances of Geoffrey Kondogbia, Raoul Savoy, the coach of the Central African Republic, sees this change favorably. “I knew he would start, because he is in the coach’s favor, but I was surprised to see him in this position. In the end, I found it calm, imperial, completely serene”enthused the technician in comments given to La Provence, referring to Kondogbia’s copy during the Olympico, a week ago (3-2).
“We discussed this reconversion last season, when he finished the matches in this position. The idea had germinated, because it stands. He has all the qualities to win there. It might suit him, he has always been an axis player. He has great calm to manage stressful situations as a last resort. With his sense of passing, he can break the opposing pressure and initiate transitions”concluded Savoy. A good omen for OM.
