If supporters of Olympique de Marseille have their eyes riveted on the last preparation match of their team on Saturday (7 p.m.) against Aston Villa, some players in the Marseille training are outside the professional group and try to prove their value.
This is the case of Faris Moumbagna, the Cameroonian striker forced to play with the reserve team while waiting for OM to have decided to part with it or not. For the moment, despite the affection he has and which is quite visible in the documentary “without ever letting go” on Youtube, Roberto de Zerbi has too many people to play to give Moumbagna.
Where others would have made the head and even perhaps refused not to evolve with the first team, the 24-year-old shows that, precisely, he is ready to let go of anything. Saturday noon, Faris Moumbagna participated in the victory (7-1) of OM team 2 against the Racing Club Pays de Grasse, which evolves in National 2, a division above. The least we can say is that the interested party shone.
Relaunched or better sold?
Holder, Moumbagna scored a quadrupled in just 40 minutes in the first half, more than half of his team's goals. Impossible to know if it will relaunch his chances of being part of the Roberto de Zerbi group this season, where Neal Maupay is for example preferred to him for the moment, but the state of mind is notable.
Other young pros of the Olympian reserve marked in this meeting: Kelyann Bezahaf, Keyliane Abdallah (The nephew of Toifiou Maoulida) and Anis Doubal.
