Is OM’s new number 9 really at the level expected? His performance against Reims last Sunday left one perplexed.
For his first performance at the Orange Vélodrome, against the Stade de Reims on Sunday, Elye Wahi had a particularly complicated evening. The supporters of
Marseille Olympics booed him heavily when he was replaced by Rowe in the 67th minute of play.
Daniel Riolo seems relatively skeptical about the true level of the former Lens player. “What scares me about Wahi is seeing what he does on the occasion when Greenwood sends him through on goal. Technically, it’s very weak. Does he really have great abilities or was it a Ligue 1 flare-up like we’ve seen a thousand others?”wondered the sports journalist in “L’After Foot” on
RMC.
Wahi, the criticism is already raining down
Recruited for thirty million euros on August 13, the 21-year-old striker raises questions. “I don’t know if it’s just a matter of trust, or if it’s not also a matter of intrinsic quality. It worries me a little bit about the real and deep qualities of this guy.”continues Gilbert Brisbois’ sidekick.
On social networks, wahi has not been spared from criticism. Marseille supporters are likely to be much less intransigent towards this player than they could be with others. Indeed, during an interview given to France Bleu in May 2022, he assured that he would never be able to wear the OM jersey, emphasizing: “It’s a certainty, because I’m Parisian.”
