Brassier struggles, a club legend flies to his aid

Arrived last summer from Brest where he had a great season, and validated by Roberto De Zerbi who sees in him a real talent at the defensive level Lilian Brassier is however struggling to shine at OM. His start to the season is marked by several complicated performances, with a lot of excitement and even gross errors like against Auxerre last weekend. Enough to worry about Brassier's acclimatization to the Marseille challenge.

Casoni advocates leniency with Brassier

Not necessarily for Bernard Casoni, central defender who won the Champions League with OM in 1993, and well placed to judge his qualities. In the columns of Provence, Casoni is patient about him. “Someone who arrives in Marseille must adapt. It's not always easy when you come from outside and enter this climate. There are a lot of demands, all the time, it's not easy to master, it takes time. And it takes longer for some. In Marseille, you have to be perfect for 90 minutes, have a maximum level of concentration. Sometimes, all it takes is one good performance to push you up a notch, and conversely, when you perform poorly, you move back a little. He (Lilian Brassier) must not panic either, he must concentrate on his qualities, his strong points, the rest will come by itself,” confides Casoni.
