By attaching the services of Ismaël Bennacer during the winter transfer window, Olympique de Marseille confirmed its ambitions. Considered a safe value of Serie A, where he chained the seasons with AC Milan, the Algerin international has a CV which is no longer to be presented.
But despite this flagship recruit status, Bennacer struggles to fully express his potential. Certain midfielder outings have been disappointing in recent weeks, like an OM team which conceded 4 defeats in its last 6 Ligue 1 games (Auxerre, Lens, PSG, Reims).
Bennacer hopes to confirm with OM.
In its edition of this Tuesday, the local newspaper La Provence dwells on the trajectory of Ismaël Bennacer at Olympique de Marseille. And the regional daily does not spare the Algerian international, accused of not having the appropriate physical condition to shine at the highest level.
“A dubious physical condition” for Bennacer?
“After an attractive departure from the ancient and Stéphanois ogres, the Algerian continues to disappoint, Can we read in the La Provence newspaper. The one whose technical quality has been praised was still imprecise, unless it was targeting the advertising panels. Hardly more reassuring without balloon, or he drags a dubious physical condition. »»
An uncompromising analysis which calls for a reaction from Ismaël Bennacer. The 2019 African champion will necessarily have a major role in the last weeks of competition, since one of his competitors in the middle (Rongier or Hojbjerg) could be brought to back down to fill the injury of Leonardo Balerdi.
