Established in Nantes last weekend, Neal Maupay once again scored points in his long-distance duel with Elye Wahi, who, for his part, is still struggling to find his cruising speed. To the point of moving ahead in the hierarchy?
Not yet, if we are to believe the explanations of Roberto De Zerbi, who ensures that the former Montpellier still remains number 1 in his mind. “ There is no competition between Maupay and Wahifirst explained the Italian technician. They are two different players with different experience. Maupay is coming off a very good match in Nantes. The hierarchy remains the same between Wahi and Maupay. From match to match, I have to observe who is in the best shape. I am still in love with Wahi as a player and his qualities. Both players have different experience. The 9 doesn't have to know how to score, he has to know how to press and that's not something we do very well. »
The Brescia native also explained that both players must improve in their pressing. “ Wahi and Maupay need to work on how to press. Pressing is something strategic, but it changes with each match.«
