A coach necessarily has his heads. This was already the case for Jorge Sampaoli last year, it will probably be the case again for Igor Tudor on the side of Olympique de Marseille. So it’s not necessarily a question of agreement, sometimes of style of players too. But after four friendly matches, we are already starting to see which players should not play many minutes this season.
The first case is interesting since it concerns Bamba Dieng. The Senegalese striker, much loved by Marseille fans, has not played a single minute in the last two games. He also hadn’t started as a starter in the first two. A certain downgrading which brings him to fifth position in the hierarchy of attackers. This is what Igor Tudor explains: at the moment, unfortunately, and I’m sorry for that, we have five players for the way we play, since Dimitri is also a second striker. It’s hard to give him minutes. Sometimes it happens in football “. When we also know that it is a certain market value for OM…
Amavi and Luan Peres didn’t play a single minute against Betis
Another player who could be sold: Luan Peres. The left-handed central, brought back from Santos last year by Sampaoli, did not take part in the meeting on Wednesday. Announced by us on the Fenerbahçe side, it was still being discussed late on Wednesday evening. Isaak Toure has started every friendly, so it looks like the Brazilian won’t be a clear starter if he stays.
Jordan Amavi is even worse. If he has evolved a little in previous matches, he still saw Sead Kolasinac and Cengiz Ünder pass him. This Wednesday evening, the Bosnian did not play because he had discomfort in the thigh in the morning, it was the Turk who started. Midway through the game, Clauss moved to the left before Lirola replaced Ünder. The message is clear.
Some seem to be starting from further away like Pape Gueye, not necessarily a starter this season or even a Duje Caleta-Car, at the end of his contract in a year and pushed towards the exit. Leonardo Balerdi, he should play the supporting roles before trying to win. Pablo Longoria will also have his work cut out for him to convince some to jump ship.
