Holder of a Master's degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Since the start of the season, OM have managed to take on great challenges to find themselves in second place in Ligue 1. The club from the Marseille city relies on many trusted players, and among the great promises for the future, Quentin Merlin is a profile that Roberto De Zerbi really likes. The 22-year-old defender experienced some twists and turns, while he was making full progress. If he continues on the right path, he could reach new heights. Indeed, Roberto De Zerbi already sees him joining Didier Deschamps' French team.
Holder at the start of the season, Quentin Merlin had to be absent for several weeks after his injury in September, during a rally with the Espoirs. The left-back has not yet reached maturity, and he has sometimes disappointed in defense. He was replaced in a piston role by Roberto De Zerbi, and he managed to score his first goal. The Italian coach even talks about a future in France team for his player.
Merlin soon in the French team?
At only 22 years old, Quentin Merlin still has time to progress. The player trained in FC Nantes will perhaps even manage to integrate theFrance team. “He's not 100% yet and I don't want to take any risks with him. Ulisses Garcia is doing better, but Merlin is playing very well for the moment, he must aim for the French team” asserts Roberto DeZerbi at a press conference this Friday.
“I don’t know if Didier Deschamps will call him, but…”
Liked by Roberto De Zerbi, Quentin Merlin knows that he sometimes made mistakes which slowed down theABOUT. Despite everything, his qualities are notable, and in the eyes of the Italian coach, he must target the team of France. “I don't know if Didier Deschamps will call him, it's not my job, but he must have this ambition and be more complete when he attacks and defends. He is an important player” continues the coach.
