Despite Steve Mandanda, OM recruited a new goalkeeper in the person of Pau Lopez this summer. And Jorge Sampaoli had an idea in mind to explain this.
In recent years, Steve Mandanda was the undisputed number 1 in goals for the OM . Today, that is clearly no longer the case. Indeed, it is now Pau Lopez who is installed as the last bulwark of the Marseille club. This summer, the Spaniard arrived from AS Roma on loan with option to buy from the Italian club. Pablo Longoria did not hide it, a goalkeeper was wanted at OM . A request obviously from Jorge Sampaoli .
“They took a new goalkeeper to initiate the actions with short play”
Brazilian journalist, Caique Stiva confided to So Foot about this choice of OM to put Pau Lopez in the paws of Steve Mandanda . And on this subject, he explained: “As soon as he arrived, Sampaoli asked for a new goalkeeper because whoever was there could not play with his feet. They took on a new goalkeeper to initiate the actions with short play ”.
