Friday evening, OM were surprised by Auxerre at the Stade Vélodrome in Ligue 1. Elye Wahi started the match on the bench and gradually seems to be losing his place in Marseille.
OM confirmed their difficulties at home this season against Auxerre on Friday evening. A heavy defeat 3 goals to 1 which does not help Marseille. Roberto De Zerbi is having more and more difficulty finding the right ingredients to help his group win. Against the Burgundians, he decided to trust Neal Maupay in attack, to the great displeasure of a downgraded Elye Wahi. It must be said that the former Lens player is having difficulty moving forward and making a difference at OM. A departure is even already in the pipeline for the French striker. But if there is one who wants to see him fight for his place in the Marseille city, it is Bafétimbi Gomis, a former player of the club who knows the context well.
Elye Wahi, Gomis still believes in it
During a few words exchanged with West Francethe former Marseille striker indeed indicated regarding Elye Wahi and his current form: “These are difficulties that I encountered in Lyon and that did not prevent me from winning (21 goals in 34 matches). These are also difficulties that Mamadou Niang, Djibril Cissé and André-Pierre Gignac encountered in Marseille and they succeeded. Elye Wahi is someone who works, but he is young, you have to be patient. We're going to pray that he makes us all lie. In any case, my heart goes out to him as a former OM striker. I know the difficulty he encounters on a daily basis and I know that with patience, work and a little luck, he will be able to meet expectations.” At the end of the international break, Olympique de Marseille will be back strong with a trip to RC Lens. Probably the perfect opportunity for Wahi to respond to criticism of his former team.
