Goalkeeper Pau Lopez was deciphered by Cédric Carrasso, one of his predecessors at OM. And the observation is quite severe.
Pau Lopez has not forgotten Steve Mandanda in the hearts of Olympique de Marseille supporters. The Spanish goalkeeper has also suffered criticism since the end of last season and the start of the new one. It is no longer really decisive, or intermittently, as for example against Brighton on Thursday evening in the Europa League (2-2).
Cédric Carrasso, OM goalkeeper between 2002 and 2008, gave his explanation on the average performances of Pau Lopez. “ On a technical level, we see that Pau Lopez is more on his heels than usual, than in previous years”analyzed Carrasso, Sunday in front of the cameras of Prime Videothe broadcaster of OM-Le Havre (8th day of Ligue 1).
A small tackle to the OM staff
“ Today, he’s a goalkeeper who dives backwards, he’s not attacking his balls, he’s suffering.”continues Cédric Carrasso before commenting on a goal conceded by Lopez during OM’s trip to Metz on August 18 (2-2): “ He doesn’t know where to stand, he takes big steps, there is less liveliness. »
Finally, Cédric Carrasso wonders if the problem does not also come from the Marseille technical staff: “ We might wonder what happens in training with the goalkeeper coaches. »
