A French international has made very complimentary remarks about Olympique de Marseille.
He only stayed for three years and had to settle for luxury wild card status in his final season at theOlympic Marseillebut he remains one of the most iconic faces of the club’s recent era. Despite his departure to Lazio Rome, Mattéo Guendouzi has entered the hearts of OM supporters.
Known for his fighting spirit, the French international, 2022 world vice-champion with the French team in Qatar, has always proclaimed his love for Olympique de Marseille. In an interview with the media Carré, Guendouzi once again made very strong comments about the Stade Vélodrome.
“The fervor that there is at OM and at the Vélodrome, you will not find it anywhere else”
“Playing at the Vélodrome for Olympique de Marseille, I think that as a player, it’s the most beautiful thing that can happen to you, launched Guendouzi, who made 103 appearances for Marseille between 2021 and 2023.
“My first match at the Vélodrome was a friendly. The last one of the preparation. There were 25,000/30,000 people for a friendly, the sound I heard… I said: “but it’s not possible. I think that in Europe, this fervor that there is for OM and the emotions that you feel when you are an OM player are tenfold. And you really feel stronger than anything. I’ve been to quite a few very beautiful stadiums, quite a few great atmospheres too, but the fervor that there is at OM and at the Vélodrome, you won’t find it anywhere else.” Words that should not go unnoticed by Marseille fans.
