After starting the 2024-2025 season on the bench, Neal Maupay moved to the number one position in attack. His entries into the game were systematically exciting and interesting. Roberto De Zerbi, who has long supported Elye Wahi, had to bow to the evidence. Maupay deserves his place much more than Wahi at OM.
-Maupay is solid
In 12 Ligue 1 matches, Neal Maupay made a successful start with OM. His statistics speak for him: 3 goals and 4 assists. Over the last 5 meetings, he was even decisive in the 4 matches played as a starter. A suit made for him, even though it seemed much too big for Elye Wahi… Strength of character, efficiency, state of mind and combativeness: Maupay is solid.
Wahi at the foot of a mountain
Like his match against Le Havre, Neal Maupay will not move anytime soon. In the same way that Elye Wahi will not return any time soon, either, in Roberto De Zerbi’s starting eleven… The mechanics are in motion and the Marseille collective is running at full speed without its 30 million euro striker. Barring injury or suspension, the former Lens player will have to settle for the end of the match. And every minute spent on the pitch will be decisive for his future in Marseille. Against Le Havre, Wahi showed that he was capable of hanging on. Scorer after 7 minutes on the pitch, he did the job. But it will take much more to dislodge Maupay from his chair…
