The new Spanish coach arrives with his tactical certainties, and demands extreme defensive solidity from his side. Jonathan Clauss’ game does not suit him.
With the arrival of Marcelino as coach, the OM transfer window could even be even bigger than expected. Indeed, the Spanish coach may be a close friend and long-time collaborator of Pablo Longoria, he does not necessarily agree with everything. In terms of the laterals, very important for the defensive base of a 4-4-2 that the Spanish technician wants to put in place, the problems are ultimately just as great on the left, where OM have almost no one under the control. hand, than right. The presence of Jonathan Clauss does not reassure Marcelino at all, who according to Foot Mercato, even intends to put the French international on the transfer list. If his departure brings in a good sum of money and facilitates the arrival of a right-back whose defensive qualities are superior, then the new OM coach would clearly give the green light.

A small slap for Jonathan Clauss, who already saw his role evolve with this transition to a flat defense, and who now learns that his game does not necessarily suit his new coach. What to wake up one of his longtime courtiers, namely Atlético de Madrid? The possibility is lip serviced in Spain, but the next few days will inevitably be very instructive. Especially since it is rumored that the profile of Thomas Lemar has interested Pablo Longoria for a very long time, who would be well able to set up an exchange allowing Marcelino to be satisfied. In any case, Jonathan Clauss sees his future suddenly called into question when the takeover has just taken place at the Commanderie.
