Despite a convincing start to the season, Vitinha is not yet completely unanimous in Marseille.
Mentally weakened and losing confidence on the pitch after his record transfer last winter, Vitinha has regained his colors this season. The young Olympique de Marseille striker has already found the net twice in 3 Ligue 1 games this season.
More generally, Vitinha claims a regular place in Marcelino’s system thanks to his great generosity. An irreproachable state of mind which is coupled with a newfound efficiency in front of goal. However, the striker still has significant room for improvement according to some specialists in the position.
“It will be much better in a while”
Asked about Vitinha’s performance, Jean-Pierre Papin notes progress while asking for confirmation. ” He’s a very good player. He arrived last season with some baggage that he had at home. With us, it’s a little more complicated, explained the former Ballon d’Or in comments made at the microphone of Prime Video. He also had a hard time fitting in. But little by little, he is someone who works a lot, who listens a lot. I am not surprised that he has regained his momentum. But it will be much better in a while“, concluded Papin.
