Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Present at a press conference this Friday, Roberto De Zerbi notably mentioned the situation of Neal Maupay who took the place of Elye Wahi at the forefront of the OM attack. And the Italian technician does not hide that this is the “perfect player” for him.
Last summer, theABOUT has largely shaken up its squad by recruiting no less than 12 new players. And the offensive sector was no exception. Due to the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang towards Saudi Arabia, the Marseille club has therefore recruited a new center forward, namely Elye Wahi who disembarked from the RC Lens for around €30M, bonus included. The former Montpellier therefore presented himself as a potential starter, but the injury to Faris Moumbagna restarted everything. Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture, the Cameroonian striker will miss the entire season, and theABOUT therefore decided to bet on Neal Maupay – The Best Of Neal Maupay who is now the incumbent of the position. It must be said that Roberto DeZerbi considers him the perfect player.
-De Zerbi fires up for Maupay
« He’s the perfect player, everyone would want him on their team. He doesn’t have 20 goals per season under his belt, but between the goals, the assists, his commitment, his character and his leadership, he’s a player that I would always like to have. This will be the case until I leave here. If I see it, I feel better », blurted out the coach of theABOUT at a press conference, before continuing by also mentioning the case Peter-Emile Hojbjerg.
“He’s the perfect player”
« Hojbjerg he gives you everything, it’s like Maupay. He has the game, the experience, the personality, the game without the ball, his exchanges with Rabiot. They are able to reverse their roles too, it’s one of the secrets of this team. He will be there tomorrow », added Roberto DeZerbi,
