After playing for seven seasons in England (in the Championship and Premier League) Neal Maupay made his return to Ligue 1 last summer. Loaned to Olympique de Marseille for a period of one year with an obligation to purchase, the 28-year-old striker scored two goals in seven matches with the Marseille club.
During an interview given to Bleacher Reportin the form of video questions and answers, the Franco-Argentinian demonstrated that he had a good knowledge of the history of the team in which he currently plays. When asked how many French championship titles OM had won, he was very sure of himself. “No, 10, 10. They’ve been stolen once, or twice. So put 11, please. he asked his interlocutor.
Maupay in revisionist mode?
On its official website, OM actually lists eleven French championship titles, including an amateur in 1929. The Marseille club also claims victory at the end of the 1992-1993 season. Except that he is not officially due to the VA-OM corruption affair.
Either way, Neal Maupay seems very happy in the south of France. “It’s a legendary club, with emblematic players, its stadium, its supporters, the city… I think that OM is the greatest French clubhe judged just after his signing. Being here is a privilege, an honor, I will do everything to honor this jersey and I am sure that there are great things awaiting us. »
