It is sometimes difficult to get a chance at OM when you are a young player. Roggerio Nyakossi knows this better than anyone. Arriving in Marseille two years ago, the 20-year-old Swiss has never played in Ligue 1. However, he is not unhappy with his situation.
You have to be a die-hard Marseillais, an ultimate OM fan to know Roggerio Nyakossi and even then it's not even sure. The young 20-year-old Swiss defender is playing under the radar at OM, two years after his arrival from Servette Genève. Nyakossi only played with the Olympian reserves, playing no matches with the first team. It is even rare that he is called up to Ligue 1. This has only happened once this season, in Brest for the first day of Ligue 1. A situation which can be frustrating for this central defender, captain of the selection Switzerland U20.
Nyakossi still happy at OM
However, Roggerio Nyakossi does not complain about his personal situation at OM. On the contrary, he feels as happy as the first day. Questioned by Corner Magazine, he revealed his feelings towards the Marseille club. He does not regret his transfer to Marseille, still trusting the Olympian project. Above all, he could not hide being a supporter of OM for several years. Enough to make it easier to overcome the pill of non-use.
« Every time I watched TV, it was OM. I remember the big nights in the Europa League, it was really impressive. I'm a big fan. OM represents a solid opportunity, with a very ambitious project and a clear desire to rely on its training center. They clearly showed their desire to recruit me by meeting the requirements of Servette “, he confided. An optimism that is not necessarily feigned, especially since places are not inaccessible in central defense, given the excitement displayed by certain holders like Leonardo Balerdi for example.
