Since his arrival at Olympique de Marseille this summer, midfielder Gerson (24 years old, 10 games and 1 goal in L1 this season) has rarely evolved in his favorite position, that of “flying”. In front of the media this Friday, the Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli justified his decisions regarding the use of the Brazilian international.
“Normally, Gerson plays in the middle, there it is true that he plays a little higher, but there is a strong competition in the middle. And our way of playing requires players who evolve a notch higher, c ‘Mattéo Guendouzi is also the case. We think he can perform well in the position where he is played, the team needs him in this position. (…) Since we have a workforce rather short, we need players who evolve in several positions, we cannot afford to have a player with exclusive positioning “, explained the Argentinian technician.
