Very good Sunday night against PSG, Mattéo Guendouzi is nevertheless used in an unprecedented position by Igor Tudor at the OM.
As against Sporting in the Champions League this week, Mattéo Guendouzi was used in the attacking trio against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday night during the Classic. The Olympique de Marseille midfielder once again produced a good performance with a huge slaughter and an interesting passing quality. However, it is clear that the French international is not used in his preferred position by Igor Tudor in the city of Marseille. On RMC’s microphone, Daniel Riolo analyzed PSG’s success against Marseille and for the After Foot journalist, the key to OM’s success this season lies in the position of Mattéo Guendouzi. For the reporter, Igor Tudor would benefit from bringing the former Arsenal player down to incorporate another attacking player alongside Alexis Sanchez and Amine Harit, be it Dieng, Payet, Ünder or Gerson.
Riolo wants to see Guendouzi lower at the OM
“PSG deserve the win and were sharper up front, but if they’re sharper up front it’s because they have better quality players. Yet I don’t think Mbappé played a good game tonight. He has been less acute for several weeks now. The Olympians took a lot of situations with balls in the box, but every time there was a wrong pass, technical waste to sum up, that’s what made the difference, because otherwise the numbers show how balanced he was. In the impact, OM resisted perfectly. We can ask ourselves the question about the positioning of Guendouzi who achieved a first period of the highest level. Officially he was in the top three but I think he would be more useful as a midfield complement and if there is any regret for OM he is there. analyzes Daniel Riolo, for whom Marseille could be more ambitious in attack with an extra striker and taking Mattéo Guendouzi down a notch. A statement shared by the majority of Marseille fans after the defeat against PSG.
