A recruit marked by its first velodrome
Arrived this summer at theWhether From West Ham for around 1 million euros, Emerson quickly hopes to find its bearings. But even before we put on the Marseille tunic, the left side had already been marked by the Vélodrome stadium, during its passage in Ligue 1 under the Lyon colors. This memory remains engraved in his mind.
A din even before kick -off
In an exchange on Twitch, the Italian international told his feelings: “I played in many stadiums and I can tell you that I had never seen a match where the stadium was making an incredible din 40 minutes before kick -off as at the Vélodrome stadium. The pressure of the velodrome is huge.” A statement that highlights the psychological impact that the Marseille enclosure can have on its opponents.
A historical force for OM
The reputation of the velodrome is not new. Since the major European evenings of the 1990s, the Marseille stadium has built a unique aura. Many opposing players have already said that they had felt a particular atmosphere by trailing this lawn. Emerson thus joins a long list of footballers impressed by the energy deployed by the stands.
A new asset for the Olympian group
Today, the former Lyonnais finds himself on the other side of this volcanic atmosphere. Enthusiastic about wearing the white jersey under the encouragement of more than 60,000 supporters, he concluded: “I am happy to be on the right side, to be able to defend this jersey and the supporters who are incredible.” A state of mind that should appeal to the faithful of the Vélodrome and strengthen alchemy with the Marseille cloakroom.
