Luiz Felipe has arrived! While he has not played since the start of the season at Al-Ittihad, the Italian defender has decided to relaunch his career by joining Olympique de Marseille. At the age of 27, he therefore tried to relaunch himself in Europe under the orders of his Italian compatriot Roberto de Zerbi. This Wednesday, he was also present at a press conference alongside Fabrizio Ravanelli. The opportunity for the new Marseille player to talk about the Vélodrome that he already knew when he played with Lazio.
“Now I’m on this team.”
“Before entering the Vélodrome, you feel the atmosphere, the supporters… Even during the warm-up, you see the supporters shouting. We say to ourselves: wow, what an atmosphere. Now I'm on this team. It will be even easier for me“, he explained, before looking at the importance of Roberto de Zerbi in his decision: “The presence of De Zerbi was fundamental in my choice. (…) There is also the club itself. It's normal to say yes when a club like Marseille contacts you. I have known De Zerbi since he was at Sassuolo, Benevento. It was always difficult to play against him. I told him that I was happy to play with him to find out how he makes his teams play (…). It's always difficult to play against him with strong possession. He wants defenders to raise at the last moment to eliminate the opponent. All the players want to play for him. We go to work every day“. The interested party will appreciate it!
