A new reinforcement of weight for the resident of the Stade Vélodrome. This Wednesday, January 8, Luiz Felipe Ramos was actually presented to the press as the new central defender of Olympique de Marseille. The Italian international (1 selection) previously spent by Betis Sevilla and Lazio Rome arrives free in the south of France, after having recently ended his contract by mutual agreement with Al-Ittihad. The Marseille number 4 was full of praise for Roberto De Zerbi’s press and the prestige of his new club.
Beginnings that could wait:
“For the moment I still need a few weeks to be 100% physically. With the staff and the trainer we are doing work for that. Everyone knows the football that De Zerbi wants to play, I am very happy to do so. to have as a coach.”
OM’s choice:
“The coach was fundamental in my choice, OM too. It’s a big club, when you have a team like that coming for you it’s normal to say yes immediately. I know Zerbi from Sassuolo It was always difficult to play against his teams.”
The project:
“As I said, there is a big project here. We can see what has been done, it is only the beginning, OM must always be in the Top 4.”
The Stade Vélodrome:
“Before entering this stadium we feel the atmosphere, all the supporters waiting for the bus, warming up. All the players want to play in stadiums like this. I am ready for this challenge.”

Ramos style:
“I am a player who gives everything. All matches are important, I give everything. In Italy we learn to defend, I am a humble player, who wants to learn with De Zerbi. I have a good reading of the game , hard on the man, I’m aggressive, maybe too much, I have to improve on that.”
Leonardo Balerdi:
“Everyone treated me well. Marseille’s defense plays very well. The ranking speaks for them, that means there is a good group, everyone is shooting in the right direction. The defense is “It’s everyone’s job, where everyone has an important role. I know Balerdi, for me he’s a great defender, he’s progressing enormously, as a leader. It will be a pleasure to play with him.”
IF:
“Marseille is a bit like Rome, the Romans are passionate about football, the same as Naples. They like players who fight. I am ready for that and I know where I have arrived, I know that with our supporters the players must always be on point, and I like that here, it is perhaps even stronger, I will give everything for these colors” he said in comments transcribed by our colleagues from La Provence.
