So you can wait seven matches and unlock everything in less than a minute. Sunday evening, Elye Wahi launched his team towards a triumph on the Montpellier pitch (final score 5-0), by scoring a goal after 48 seconds. A point blank recovery after a remarkable action from Roberto de Zerbi’s men who had not let go of the ball since the kick-off.
A first relief
For Wahi, also a decisive passer a little later in this match, the feelings were undoubtedly mixed. A great relief to finally unlock the counter, while his arrival for almost 20 million last summer, seriously began to be considered as a casting error. But also, visibly, an embarrassment to score against his training club and to push him a little deeper into crisis.
He precipitated the ouster of his former coach
The overwhelming victory of OM, which allowed the Marseille club to settle on the third step of Ligue 1, was also fatal to Michel der Zakarian, who had launched Wahi in Ligue 1 and who was fired in followed by its president Laurent Nicollin.
