The Marseille leaders would be ready to part ways during the winter transfer window with Lilian Brassier, the first recruit of the off-season experiencing major adaptation problems…
This Saturday, Lilian Brassier is watching Lens-OM from her home. The central defender was not even called up in the group that made the trip to the North by Roberto De Zerbi. He thus pays for his disastrous performance against Auxerre (1-3) a fortnight ago. He had caused Burgundian's opening score with a big restart error, had shown himself to be very feverish throughout a first period which ended with a 0-3 and had been taken out at the break by his coach. Out of his depth that evening, De Zerbi took strong action against the player on loan from Brest. According to a regular observer in the stands, the technician already could not stand Brassier's feverishness in restarts. If he also starts making big defensive errors…
Not compatible with the OM volcano?
For several seasons, Lilian Brassier has been accompanied by a mental trainer. The latter will have a lot of work in the coming weeks because we imagine that the defender must be taking the situation very badly. He who left SB29 with whom he could have played in the Champions League is today demoted to the very bottom of the hierarchy of OM central defenders. Leonardo Balerdi is at the top, then come Derek Cornelius, Geoffrey Kondogbia and even Bamo Meïté! But the worst is perhaps yet to come for Brassier…
According to La Provence, the leaders are indeed wondering about the compatibility between the discreet Brassier and the volcanic Marseille. We guess implicitly that Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia recognize a casting error. The regional daily ensures that they would be ready to repair it from January! Brassier is only on loan from Brest (with a purchase option of €13 million) and the contract can therefore be terminated mid-season. It would be a huge disavowal for the player, first recruit of the Marseille off-season, who was called upon to form a super solid defensive hinge with Leonardo Balerdi…
