OM’s offensive hierarchy seems to have changed. Neal Maupay, initially planned to be Elye Wahi’s understudy, reversed the roles thanks to his decisive performances. Author of a fourth assist in three matches during the victory (2-0) against Saint-Étienne, Maupay received praise from his coach.
De Zerbi praises Neal Maupay
After the match at Geoffroy-Guichard, De Zerbi praised the growing importance of the former Nice player: “Maupay is an example on and off the field. He is very aggressive in his game, which is fundamental for us at the moment. Wahi remains an important player, but Neal is essential to the team at the moment.” Although Elye Wahi, recruited for 26 million euros this summer, retains a significant role, he will have to redouble his efforts to recover his starting place against a Maupay who shines with his consistency and efficiency.
