Elye Wahi does not make the expected debut at Olympique de Marseille. Recruited this summer for the sum of 25 million euros, the French striker is struggling to acclimatize to the Marseille club.
Indeed, the former RC Lens player was started five times at the forefront of the Marseille attack during the first six days of Ligue 1, but only managed to score once, during the victory against Brest (1-5). Despite this, coach Roberto De Zerbi showed his confidence in this new OM recruit, and the Marseille locker room also gave Wahi its support, notably through its goalkeeper, Geronimo Rulli.
Rulli is optimistic for Wahi
“Wahi is a great player but also very young,
recalled the Argentinian goalkeeper during a press conference before the match against Angers this Friday at the Vélodrome. In football, you often experience ups and downs when you’re young. The most important thing is that he has the confidence of the coach, the staff, the players. And he has it. »
Rulli is convinced that the native of Courcouronnes will put an end to his bad patch by finding his way to goal. “When he manages to score and regain confidence, he will help us a lot. It’s a pleasure to have him with us, you have to be a little patient”judged the former Ajax player.
