Elye Wahi is one of OM’s star recruits and yet his performance is far too low for a top striker. From now on, Roberto De Zerbi prefers Neal Maupay, slightly more effective but above all more impactful in the game. Wahi’s invisibility when he does not score is the problem pointed out by Steve Savidan.
The weeks follow one another and are similar for Elye Wahi who has not started since the match against PSG. The Marseille striker pays for his lack of efficiency which highlights his absence in the game when he does not score. Conversely, Neal Maupay – The Best Of Neal Maupay is much more useful to Roberto De Zerbi, even when he cannot find the net. It is according to Steve Savidanthe big problem d’Elye Wahi.
“Afterwards we didn’t see him anymore”
« A Maupay-Wahi duel? It’s not so much a duel. They have two completely different strengths. There is one who is better at the back in play, the other is better in depth. Wow, he had a few good starts to matches, he didn’t have a good start to the season. It was in August and early September and then we didn’t see him anymore. It’s a bit like in Lens. He hadn’t been more convincing than that. The problem when you arrive and you are an attacker, you go behind great legends and you pass scorers like Papin, Drogba and so on and the best “, first declared the former striker live on the show Rothen Ignites.
“When he doesn’t score, we don’t know he’s there”
« You arrive at this position, you must be mentally armed so that, even if you don’t score, people remember that you were there. The problem Wahi has is that when he doesn’t score, you don’t know he’s there. I believe that De Zerbi wants to keep because he is waiting for that trigger. Even if Maupay took the lead today, they are still two players who have a high market value. You are not safe from having a little nugget of 18 years old who arrives behind and then who you slowly begin to integrate. We must not forget that these are still payrolls and large transfers », added Steve Savidan. Elye Wahi will have to work on this aspect if he wants to regain his starting place.
