“It’s shameful”: Elye Wahi, the big rant!

Particularly clumsy against Reims (2-2) on Sunday evening, Elye Wahi weighed down OM for his first time at the Vélodrome in the Marseille jersey.

A first at the Vélodrome to forget for Elye Wahi. A penalty scorer for his debut in the OM jersey last week in Brest (1-5), the new Marseille number 9 was much less successful on Sunday evening against Reims (2-2), at the end of the 2e Ligue 1 day. Before his exit after the hour mark (67e), the Ciel et Blanc striker was particularly clumsy in front of the opposing goal, missing four huge opportunities (31e38e44e45e+2). Enough to shake his confidence. And the whistles from the public probably didn’t help.

“Beyond the goals he missed, I feel sorry for himreacted to the microphone of DAZN the coach of the Marseille club, Roberto De Zerbi. He is a very sensitive boy. We have a very good relationship, him and I. I will defend him like my son. More than most players, he is very happy to be here. The season has just started. He was whistled, it is unfortunate for him but he will show on the field what he can do. Given the impatience of the Olympian supporters with him, there is already an urgent need for the former Lens player to perform well.

Elye Wahi, “technically, it’s very, very weak”

A situation which does not place one of OM’s star recruits in a comfortable situation, which Loïc Tanzi deplores.

“It’s shameful. It’s not possible today to whistle a player for his first home gamethe journalist asserts in L’Equipe du Soir. So yes, he missed four chances. Yes, if he had scored one or two goals, OM would have won. But frankly, it’s not possible. He’s going to say to himself ‘I played my first match at the Vélodrome, I was whistled when I came off after an hour’, when he cost almost 30 million euros…

Worrying even if, for Daniel Riolo, the problem is perhaps even deeper. On the airwaves of RMC, the consultant expressed serious doubts about the abilities of Elye Wahi, returning to his third dangerous situation just before half-time where, after being launched by Mason Greenwood in depth, he placed a weak strike on Yehvann Diouf. “What he does, technically, is very, very weak.he said. And I don’t know if it’s just a question of trust or if it’s not also a question of intrinsic qualities.”

“That worries me a little more about the real technical level of this player.continues the editorialist in

The After Foot. He might be able to score goals, even score a lot of them because if OM attacks, he can be served by Greenwood and the players around him. But on the deep qualities of this guy, I still have a little doubt when I see an action of this kind. It’s up to the former Montpellier nugget to silence the critics, and quickly. Starting next Saturday in Toulouse (9 p.m.), it would probably be better for him.
