Having passed through Monaco and Marseille, Valère Germain was the guest of Stephen Brunch on RMC before the clash between the two clubs this Sunday (8:45 p.m.). He notably returned to the complicated start to the season for Elye Wahi, his former teammate in Montpellier.
They all got their bronca. More or less strong, more or less prolonged over time. From Kostas Mitroglou to Dario Benedetto, via Bafétimbi Gomis and Vitinha, the last center forwards to have passed through OM have rarely been spared by the Vélodrome. Even Arkadiusz Milik and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were entitled to their whistles. Before, for some, converting them into applause.

“You have to put your all into the work”
Elye Wahi, for his part, encountered the anger of the Marseille public from his home debut, after a plethora of missed opportunities against Reims (2-2) on August 25. Three months later, he could take his place on the bench this Sunday during the clash against Monaco (8:45 p.m.), at the end of the 13th day of Ligue 1. Overall disappointing since his arrival this summer for 25 million euros, the former Lensois (21 years old) has only scored twice in ten appearances, and must fight with Neal Maupay to join Roberto De Zerbi's starting lineup. Nothing to worry about Valère Germain.

Ex-teammate of Wahi in Montpellier, the latter knows well the pressure of the Vélodrome, which did not always give him gifts during his four seasons in Marseille (2017-2021). “How to deal with criticism from supporters? These are not easy times but we are lucky in football that everything goes very quickly with one match per week. You have to put your all into the work and think above all about the collective” , Germain testified this Sunday on the Stephen Brunch show on RMC.

“I knew Elye in Montpellier, he has a lot of qualities. A goal can be a trigger… A goal in an important match would allow the public to see that he is a top player. These periods are complicated for a attacking, you have to take refuge in the work, it will turn around,” added the 34-year-old striker, who now plays in Australia, at Macarthur FC. Scoring against Monaco, and thus putting an end to more than a month of drought, would be a good signal sent.
