If there is one player for whom President Pablo Longoria fought this summer to recruit him definitively during the transfer window, it is Pol Lirola. On loan from Fiorentina for the second part of last season, the Spanish side made a strong impression in 22 appearances in all competitions (2 goals, 2 assists). Result, the Marseille club moved heaven and earth to secure its services after its successful loan. And we can say that this recruitment is of no use in 2021-2022. Because Jorge Sampaoli uses the 24-year-old has many positions: right piston, right or left winger, midfielder …
Since the launch of the new season, Pol Lirola has too often changed position during these 10 matches in Ligue 1 and these 4 appearances in the Europa League … During an interview with Provence, the former defensive element of Fiorentina has therefore released some truths about this special situation: “Last season, I played at my post, piston or right side, this is not the case today but I remain calm. The “Mister” can line me up anywhere, I’ll do my best. “
“I hope to feel better and to be aligned as often as possible at my post”
Despite everything, Jorge Sampaoli offers incredible versatility to his player. And that, Pol Lirola knows it well. “It’s important to be versatile. When the “Mister” puts me somewhere, he thinks I can be good and tactically useful. It’s something that I like because if I like to play in my position, I also like to help out elsewhere when necessary, like against PSG where I had a lot of space in attack as a right winger ”, dropped the Spaniard.
Trimbalé on the ground, the native of Mollet del Vallès therefore trusts the Argentine coach. But the main concerned would however like to be more often present on the right side: “Yes, it’s hard to play each game at a different position, but I hope to feel better and to be aligned as often as possible in my position, on the side, or at least on the right side, even as a winger. “ What is certain is that OM will need a top Pol Lirola on Sunday night for the shock against OL.
