Tudor explains himself for Payet: “I explained my plan to him and he accepted it”
9 HOURS AGO
Jostled by a team from the North who entered their match perfectly, the Olympians suffered the opener signed by Ismaily (12th) and twenty minutes at high intensity from LOSC. Without Dimitri Payet, once again relegated to the bench at kick-off by Igor Tudor, Alexis Sanchez took over the boss’s suit. From a recovery in first intention after a tense center of Cengiz Ünder, the Chilean equalized before the half hour of play (26th). A fourth goal (in six matches) punctuating a complete score in his new skin as guide and leader.
Scorer and unifier: Sanchez’s panoply of leadership
For his third outing at the Vélodrome, Sanchez could not have done better with the idea of prolonging the crazy romance between him and the Marseille supporters. A goal, incessant activity at the loss of the ball, and an advisory volubility towards his teammates, like Amine Harit listening with compunction to the adjustments made by the former Barcelona player, half an hour into the game.
Why are OL so patient with Bosz?
Like a fish in water, Sanchez melted into the volcanic setting of the Marseille city, marrying his hatred of defeat and his thirst for victory. Despite his age and a choppy preparation, number 70 did not show his age (33 years old), leaving to loud applause in the 86th, under the gaze of Payet, weaned from minutes this Saturday evening. Like a handover.
A player who will bring us a lot
It’s not just the supporters who are under the spell of the Olympian transfer window’s flagship rookie. “He is a player who will bring us a lot, who has a lot of experience and won a lot of trophies.delivered an admiring Mattéo Guendouzi at the microphone of Canal + after the meeting. He is very effective in front of goal, it helps us a lot. As we have seen, he needs very few opportunities to put it to the bottom. (…) This bodes very well for the future.“
Griezmann: Understand everything about the shame clause
The rest is the Champions League and a key meeting against Frankfurt at home. On the track to the stars, Marseille will once again turn to its champions, its exceptional players. That’s good, Sanchez is made of this wood.
