At the microphone of DAZNNeal Maupay expressed his enthusiasm after OM-Le Havre. The striker is delighted to have found the net again: “It’s nice to score, but it’s not the most important thing today. We just wanted to have a good match to start the year off well and that's what we did.” he confided.
“The coach asks me not to give up”
Maupay then described his role on the front of the Marseille attack. The player sacrifices himself by touching few balls to adapt to the game system developed by Roberto De Zerbi: “It’s true that it’s not easy to touch a few balls, but that’s a bit of my role in the system in which we play. Faced with a team that plays low, the coach asks me not to let go, otherwise I take the space of number 10 and the midfielders. It's not easy to stay focused, because sometimes you feel like you're not in the match. It's really in the head, it's mental. The ball is going to arrive and you have to be ready when it arrives. Afterwards, I had two in the second half and it should have been a goal, that's what I told the coach when I left, I was disgusted to have missed them…”
Neal Maupay has delivered 4 assists and scored 2 goals in the last 7 Ligue 1 matches. The former Brighton and Brentford player knows how to be decisive.
