In great difficulty since his arrival this summer, Elye Wahi maintains the confidence of his trainer Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian believes in the potential of his attacker who he nevertheless invites to bring about his success at Olympique de Marseille.
Pressure is mounting around Elye Wahi. Since his penalty scored in Brest (5-1 victory) during the first day of Ligue 1, the Olympique de Marseille striker has no longer found the net. However, the clear opportunities are there. But the former Racing Club de Lens player shows astonishing clumsiness. Enough to annoy the Marseille supporters who have already reserved a few whistles for him. Fortunately for the summer reinforcement, Roberto De Zerbi is more understanding.
De Zerbi tries to shake Wahi
The Olympian coach understands Elye Wahi’s difficulties, particularly on a mental level. But the Italian believes that his starting centre-forward must himself make it happen. “ He trained well all weekthe Italian told the media. He is a very sensitive player, who wants to do things well. He suffered during this period because he failed to score, to fully express himself. I think he was also unlucky at times. If he had scored two goals against Reims (2-2), he would currently be at another level. »
« But he is young, he must understand that even if a match does not go as expected, in terms of finishing, only he can change his seasondirected by Roberto De Zerbi. We will always place our trust in him because his potential is indisputable, his potential is enormous. He is a very strong, complete player. Everyone at the club wanted it. And we are still convinced of it, even more. But it’s up to him to take the first step. And then we can pull it towards us. But it’s up to him to take the first step. » The trip to Montpellier, his training club, will perhaps be the ideal moment on Sunday evening.
