Last summer, OM recruited Lilian Brassier as part of a loan with an option to buy for around 12 million euros. The defender will nevertheless have to fight to earn his place. According to Florent Germain, Roberto De Zerbi is in fact not convinced by the former Brestois: “I was fixated on Roberto De Zerbireported the journalist on RMC Sport after Thursday's practice session. Every time Brassier had the ball, it was incredible. De Zerbi turned towards the staff and said: 'You saw…'. He believes that Brassier, when he has the ball, does not play fast enough. Look at the entrance to Kondogbia, he tried to impose a different rhythm. De Zerbi is so detail-oriented that every catch of Brassier's ball drove him crazy. » Information confirmed by his colleague Mathieu Grégoire from L'Équipe: “We feel that De Zerbi has Brassier in his crosshairs and Brassier senses that. »
Lilian Brassier has played nine games since the start of the season, including seven as a starter and only four as central defender. The native of Argenteuil will have to continue to work to hope to earn his place in the starting lineup.
