Francis De Taddeo, trainer of Elye Wahi in Montpellier, gave the reasons for his shortcomings in attack. The technician regrets not having had time to train him in dry cleaning.
Provence dedicates an article to Elye Wahi, who is preparing to return to RC Lens. The daily interviewed several of his former trainers, including Francis De Taddeo, who commented on the player's difficulties in assuming defensive tasks: “In the Lensois system, at the time, the center forward was crucial for triggering the pressing. He had to have the tactical intelligence and the depth to take on this thankless but essential role. Elye was destabilized by this, he did not know and exploded in flightdetailed the technician. He lasted ten minutes, no more. It was important that he went to Lens. Haise refined his training, taught him this aspect of the game. We would have liked to do it in Caen, but everything did not go as planned (Wahi was kicked out of the academy, Editor's note). When we picked him up in Montpellier, we lost eight months to get him back on track physically, then he was quickly upgraded to reserve, among the pros. We did not have the opportunity to form the last stage of the rocket, to expand with the pressing. »
After a little over three months spent in Marseille, Elye Wahi will have to show that he learns quickly and is capable of adapting to a club like OM and a coach like Roberto De Zerbi.
