The president of Olympique de Marseille spoke publicly about strengthening this winter transfer window.
At the heart of a mixed season, Olympique de Marseille hopes to turn things around during the return phase to achieve their European objectives. This winter transfer window, considered a period of adjustment, is a godsend to complete a squad which has shown its limits. But Pablo Longoria is struggling to convince Marseille supporters.
One operation reflects the skepticism that reigns around the OM transfer window: the arrival of Ulisses Garcia. The Swiss defender has few references at the very high level. Arriving to fill the departure of Renan Lodi, the new reinforcement of OM is far away in public opinion. Pablo Longoria did not hesitate to come to his aid.
Longoria defends his rookie
“ Ulisses Garcia, we said that for us it was a priority at the beginning of January to find a left back, launched the Spanish leader on the occasion of the official presentation of the Swiss this Thursday. He’s a full-back that we’ve been following for a long time. Marco Otero spoke to us all the time about him, he had known him in Zurich. He was very good in the Champions League with Young Boys this season. With the departure of Lodi, we were looking for a technical full-back, where he has good quality and success in his crosses and in the opposing field. He has played a lot with four and he can play with five at the back. He knows how to get to the heart of the game and does it very well. He is an international, he has a mentality and is used to playing to win“, concluded the president of OM.
