Landed in Marseille a few weeks ago, Marcelino had a nice surprise during this summer preparation.
There was a back-to-school atmosphere on Saturday in the ranks of Olympique de Marseille. Inducted two weeks ago at the helm of the first team, Marcelino does not yet have his full squad, but the new coach of the Marseille club was able to test certain elements in the first preparation match of this pre-season, against in Nimes.
While the prospect of playing in the preliminary round of the Champions League forces Olympique de Marseille to quickly rev up athletically, technically and tactically, Marcelino’s training has generally reassured observers by holding their rank against Nîmes, with a success acquired on the score of 2-0. And if Vitinha was decisive during this friendly match against neighboring Nîmes, it was another attacking element that caught the eye of his opponents.
OM has a nugget in its ranks!
Olympique de Marseille was able to rely on the quality of percussion of its young striker François-Régis Mughe. From the height of his 19 years, this product of the Marseille training center took the light by multiplying the accelerations to sow discord in the Nîmes defense, so much so that Frédéric Bompard, the coach of the Crocos, had no eyes than for him after the game.
” It’s worse than a good impression, he’s going at a speed… It’s a bomb“, enthused the technician in remarks granted to La Provence. ” I quite frankly liked it. I quote it to you without thinking. It’s above the norm the speed at which it goes. Explosiveness, speed, it’s exceptional“. OM supporters should definitely keep an eye on the young Cameroonian.
