The arrival of Ulisses Garcia at Olympique de Marseille surprised some observers. What is the Swiss defender really worth?
“ When the news broke, I fell to the ground. » Polo Breitner, correspondent in Germany and specialist in Swiss football for RMC, did not beat around the bush to comment on the arrival at Olympique de Marseille of Ulisses Garcia. The journalist doubts the Swiss’ ability to establish himself in a club of this standing.
“ I called my contacts in Switzerland to find out if it was a joke or not. You need to know what the Swiss championship is, it is a second or even third zone championship where the best young people leave very early, particularly in the Bundesliga. So a 28-year-old player who is good in this championship does not exist” explained Polo Breitner in After Foot.
“If he is a starter at OM, it is because the Olympian club is in the second division”
“ If he was good, he would have left the Swiss championship a long time ago! I was told it’s very good for him, he multiplies his salary by three, continued Polo Breitner. Ulisses Garcia is certainly very impressive physically but has fairly significant technical shortcomings, but also tactical shortcomings that are still significant at 28 years old. If he is a starter at OM, it is because the Olympian club is in the second division. Either he comes as an understudy and in a pinch I can understand it, honestly there are much better on the transfer market, it’s a real surprise »concluded the RMC correspondent.
