Although it was only one season at OM (2003-2004), Didier Drogba made an impression. It must be said that in just a few months spent in the Marseille city, the former Ivorian scorer scored 32 goals and delivered 7 assists, also leading the sky and white in the final of the UEFA Cup.
The one who then continued his career on the side of Chelsea had made a resounding beginnings under the Marseille colors. During his first 12 matches, the legend of African football already totaled 7 goals and 3 assists. No player had done better than him in the 21st century since … Amine Gouiri.
Landed this winter on the Canebière from Rennes for 19 million, the 25 -year -old striker quickly found his marks in the workforce led by Roberto de Zerbi. Again a scorer in Lille last Sunday, the former Lyonnais has now has 8 achievements since his arrival at OM.
Gouiri, it's stronger than Drogba, Balotelli and Milik
To these 8 achievements are added 3 assists. Amine Gouiri was therefore decisive eleven times in twelve games. It is better than Didier Drogba (decisive 11 times during his first 12 matches), which hitherto held the best beginnings with Marseille in the 21st century.
Amine Gouiri also does better than Mario Balotelli, who had scored 8 goals in 15 games or Arkadiusz Milik, who had scored 9 times and delivered a decisive pass in half a season. Continuing on this pace, there is no doubt that the Algerian international should make a privileged place in the heart his Marseille supporters.
