Deprived of Edon Zhegrova and Matias Fernandez-Pardo for several matches, Bruno Genesio must currently rack his brains to find a player capable of livening up the right lane. And due to not having the right profile, the LOSC coach decided to trust Mitchel Bakker rather than Osame Sahraoui. Explanations.
Mitchel Bakker, the precious Swiss army knife
“My preference is to have a player capable of hitting, fast, and repeating efforts. You also have to be involved in defensive discipline. We have players with different profiles, I am thinking in particular of Mitch (Mitchel Bakker) and Rémy (Cabella). Osame (Sahrawi), we tested him on the right in training, but he is still more comfortable on the left. Reason why he did not play in this match. I really liked Mitch's performance against Marseille. This is an additional solution. It's good to know that he can play higher up, on the left or on the right. »
