If Neal Maupay and, to a lesser degree, Elye Wahi have satisfied Roberto De Zerbi since the start of the season, the Olympique de Marseille coach is expecting a very specific attacker in 2025.
OM will be put to a real test this afternoon at the Orange Vélodrome. Facing LOSC (5 p.m.), a sure bet in Ligue 1 but also in the Champions League, Roberto De Zerbi's men should find a tough opponent on their land.
Two weeks after the victory against AS Monaco (2-1), OM will find out what they really have in their stomach. In the meantime, De Zerbi spoke about the rest of the season and the squad he currently has at Marseille.
De Zerbi hopes for Moumbagna before the end of the season
If Neal Maupay and, to a lesser extent, Elye Wahi satisfy him, the OM coach hopes to see the return of the seriously injured Faris Moumbagna (24), who would bring another profile to the forefront of his attack.
“In February, March… or I don’t know when he will return to competition,” he said at a press conference. I hope he will be there for the end of the season. Many teams play with a physically strong center forward. Having a reference point that protects the ball would be interesting. He is not just an imposing player but one who helps his team get on the pitch. »
