Second summer recruit of Olympique de Marseille after Geoffrey Kondogbia, Renan Lodi (25) intends to make the Ciel et Blancs benefit from his experience acquired at Atlético Madrid. Indeed, although he is an attacking left-back, the Brazilian international believes he has greatly improved his defensive skills under his former coach, Diego Simeone.
“I don’t feel relaxed enough to attack yet”
“The first thing I learned was to emphasize the defensive side, the offensive side was more natural for me. He never lets go, even when you play well. He always wants the maximum from the players. I learned to be mentally strong. He always wants to bring out the best in you. I can only thank him”said the player trained in theAthletico Paranaense at a press conference.
The native of Serrana considers that his progression in the defensive field is the sine qua non condition before being able to splash the lawns of Ligue 1 with his talent. “I work more defensively than offensively, I don’t feel relaxed enough to attack yet. But over the matches, I will probably free myself more.said Renan Lodi.
