Loaned with an option to purchase by Fiorentina, Pol Lirola was surprised to discover the context at the Olympique de Marseille. Unheard of for the Spanish right-back, impatient to know his fate in the next transfer window.
With the right side Pol Lirola, Olympique de Marseille and its supporters are already under the spell. It must be said that before his signing this winter, the performances of the Japanese Hiroki Sakai were not at all satisfactory. Especially in the opposing half of the field. Nothing to do with the profile of the Spaniard who assumes his preference for the offensive phases. ” As I said during my presentation, I much prefer attacking than defendinge, acknowledged the side loaned by Fiorentina. But I still think I defended well in the last game. I’m going to continue to have this game where I go forward and try to deliver assists. “On the momentum of his two offerings to Auxerre (0-2) in the Coupe de France, Lirola does not allow himself to be disturbed by the context around the Marseille club.
The pressure from supporters on management is enough to cool a rookie, but not the former player of Juventus Turin. ” Events surprised me, but you have to know how to keep your head only on the game, he reacted. (…) I have been playing pro for six years and I had never experienced that elsewhere, but I do not regret having come here at all. On the contrary, the winter reinforcement hopes that OM will decide to keep it. ” I’m on loan, for now I only think about playing well, so that once arrived at the summer transfer window the club decides to keep me, because I am very happy here as I said. », Confided Lirola, whose loan would be accompanied by a purchase option at 12 M €.
