“” We discussed it with Amine before he arrived and I took him the day after his signature in the office for half an hour to talk only to that. With the talent you have, I will not be able to tolerate a good match then another way, and accept the limits you put. »» The message was obviously received since Gouiri delivered 3 assists during his first 2 appearances in the Marseille jersey.
