A last minute move that was both surprising and extraordinary according to Steve Savidan, who was very complimentary about Marseille's recruitment.
Dolphin of PSG, loon finally launched its season after an irregular first few weeks. The Marseille club is a hit under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi and with Adrien Rabiot on the ground. The midfielder also scored his first two goals before the break, having arrived during the last summer transfer window. Steve Savidan affirms it: by offering oneself Rabiot, loon made a hit “extraordinaire».
“We need to do a little cleaning up in the squad”
« OM is on a long-term project. This year, they only have the championship to play and the cup. Now is the time to build a squad to be operational next season. This year, the objective is to achieve a very good ranking with qualification for the Champions League, why not go as far as possible in the cup. But above all, it is to build a squad. As we have seen, De Zerbi did not have such a promising start. Everyone expected him to be 'the Messiah of Marseille' but it was complicated. In November-December, it started to take hold. So now, the second phase of the project, there was communication, there was the arrival of certain players, now we have to do a little cleaning up in the squad to have competitive players and have a length of bench “, underlined the former striker in the show Rothen Ignites before discussing the transfer of Rabiot.
“It’s an extraordinary blow for OM”
« I think they're going to be on the lookout for a lot of opportunities. They showed it to us when they recruited Rabiot. It’s an extraordinary blow for OM. They may not go hunting for PSG because they are a little far away. But in any case, we must secure this 2nd place », added Steve Savidan.
