Already announced for Olympique Marseille this summer, Denis Bouanga is having a difficult start to the season with Saint-Etienne. He returned to his future which could be linked to that of the Marseille club …
Key ASSE player Denis Bouanga was announced on his departure this summer, and in the sights of Olympique de Marseille. He finally stayed on the Forez side, where he had a very difficult start to the championship collectively and individually.
In an interview with Football, he looked back on his future and praised the profile of Mattéo Guendouzi. As a reminder, the two men met at FC Lorient, the club facing Marseille this Sunday.
Why not play with him one day at OM – Bouanga
” Why not play with him one day, at OM or elsewhere, because we know each other well, he knows my movements and I know that his quality of passing and his vision of the game would allow me to enjoy myself ” Denis Bouanga– Source: Le Foot (10/11/21)
Mattéo Guendouzi has been relishing since he was an OM player:
There is perhaps the biggest fervor on the continent – Guendouzi
” Before coming to OM, I had several choices. The speeches of President Longoria and Coach Sampaoli convinced me. I immediately said, “I want OM”. Already, OM are the biggest French club, the club has won a Champions League, there is a big story. There is the greatest fervor of the country, even of the continent. All these things confirmed my choice. I like to play in a packed stadium when I’m at home, I like to feel the fans’ true love for the club. This is what I found here. I have never had so much fun since the start of my career ” Mattéo Guendouzi– Source: Onze Mondial (07/10/21)
The one who symbolizes this aggressiveness is Mattéo Guendouzi – Eric Di Meco
Invited during a Marseille Football Debate, Eric Di Meco said that Mattéo Guendouzi was a player suited to play at Olympique de Marseille and under Jorge Sampaoli.
“I was talking about recruiting players that we did not know, who are ready to hatch, who have great potential, these are bets. Maybe out of the 4 or 5 he took, there will only be 2 or 3 that will explode. It will not be bad already. This will allow the club, because this is the reality of football today, to make capital gains. There are also other players. For me, the one who symbolizes this aggressiveness and the recruitment of players who must revive is Mattéo Guendouzi. The guy still signed for Arsenal. He is a player who is a sure bet, who already has a lot of potential but who needs to revive because at some point the choice of career or the choice of club was not the right one. On the other hand, at the level of the grinta, we have already seen it since the start of the season but it will take on a little more importance because he is a boy who has a big personality, who puts an impact on his team and on the opposing team. When you look, he’s the one who puts the most commitment. Little Kamara he sets foot, Rongier is also capable, behind they have taken strong who are capable. But the nasty guy, the watchdog and the one who is able to bring up his friends, is Guendouzi. And it’s important to take a guy like that because he needs to revive and his character is perfect for OM and what Jorge Sampaoli wants to do. ” Eric Di Meco – Source: Marseille Foot Debate (09/13/2021)
