If the OM machine runs rather very well at the moment, this is not the case of Amine Gouiri. After promising beginnings under the Marseille colors last season, the former Rennais has been struggling since the start of this 2025-2026 exercise.
With no goal scored and no assist issued in 6 appearances (all competitions combined), the Algerian international is going through a delicate period. But not enough to worry his coach Roberto de Zerbi, who made the choice to continue to support his 25 -year -old attacker.
“” I always see it in shape. I think you are asking yourself too many questions and that you are doing a little too many problems in relation to Gouiri. I don't think Gouiri asks you as many questions as you. I think he's serene “Said the Italian technician.
De Zerbi: “This year it's simple for me to manage the group”
“” He knows that he can play from the start, he knows that he can go back in the second period, continued “RDZ”. It is true that in front of there is Aubameyang, there is him, there is Robinio Vaz who can also come in and do beautiful things at any time. There are a lot of matches. This year it's simple for me to manage the group: there are so many matches that everyone is playing. »»
And Zerbi to conclude on competition: ” I told the players and I tell you too. This year it is not necessary to say 'I played' or 'I did not play' as a function whether we are in the starting eleven or not. Aubameyang played 20 or 30 minutes in Strasbourg and he scored and then won the match. Sometimes you play 90 minutes, sometimes 70 minutes and sometimes only 20 minutes. But the contribution and the contribution must always be the same because the matches are also won with the replacements. »»
