OM: Valère Germain flies to the aid of Elye Wahi
Only 21 years old, Elye Wahi seems to be paying the price for his market value. Sparkling at Montpellier HSC, the young striker is struggling to regain his usual standards since signing for RC Lens then recently for OM. Recruited for 30 million euros, the young French hopeful is struggling to establish himself in Roberto De Zerbi's eleven.
Elye Wahi since his arrival, it's just two goals and an assist in ten games. If the situation is of internal concern, it does not leave former Olympique de Marseille players indifferent, such as Valentin Germain. The former Marseille striker was keen to support Wahi, currently in difficulty within the Marseille club.
Guest of the show Stephen Brunch on RMCGermain stressed the importance of a goal to revive Wahi's career in Marseille. “I knew Elye in Montpellier, he has a lot of qualities. A goal can act as a trigger… A goal in an important match would allow the public to see that he is a top player”he confided. The former striker knows what he is talking about, having himself experienced the criticism of the Vélodrome.
Elye Wahi under fire from critics
Despite his undeniable talent, Elye Wahi is struggling to find his place in the starting lineup and make an impression. He is even ahead of Neal Maupay in the hierarchy of attackers. The whistles from the Marseille public after his performance against Stade de Reims did not help matters. But for Valentin Germain, there is nothing to panic about.
“How to handle criticism from supporters? These are not easy times but we are lucky in football that everything goes very quickly with one match per week. You have to put your all into the work and think above all about the collective”he explained.
The match against AS Monaco represents a new opportunity for Elye Wahi to show the extent of his talent. A goal could allow him to gain the public's trust and regain his smile.
