After 2 consecutive losses against Sporting Portugal (1-2) and Lens (1-2), theMarseille Olympic continued a third match without a victory by conceding a disappointing parity score against Angers on Wednesday (2-2).
A result like a lesser evil for Roberto De Zerbi’s team, led and manhandled in the first half by a more effective opponent. If OM limited the damage by collecting a point, the Marseille club also owes it to its nugget Robinio Vaz.
Robinio Vaz, OM’s great hope.
Author of a lackluster performance at Bollaert last Saturday, the young 18-year-old striker recovered well by making a resounding entrance against the SCO. Author of a double, including a rather sensational second goal, Robinio Vaz scored points again.
OM: already a record broken for Robinio Vaz
Roberto De Zerbi should still rely on the man who is considered to be OM’s most promising hope. Robinio Vaz has also begun to write his legend since the striker’s double allowed him to break the record for the youngest player in the history of OM to score 2 goals in a championship match since the 1947-1948 season, at 18 years and 254 days old. The former Sochalien thus dethrones Maxime Lopez.
Remarkable in his attitude, the scorer also won over his teammates. “He was excellent,” enthused Matt O’Riley. He is very good at the moment, especially when he comes on. We need this energy in the second part of the match. In the first half, we lacked a bit of everything. Having a player like him, who presses and gives everything for the team, is very important”concluded the Dane. With the absence of Amine Gouiri and the CAN looming, Robinio Vaz has not finished talking about him.
