Against Lorient, De Zerbi surprised with bold choices. Behind an unusual lineup, a clear logic: a plan studied, balanced, and flawlessly executed.
Solid, composed and a goalscorer, Nayef Aguerd delivered a masterclass for his Marseille debut against Lorient (4–0). A leader at the back, decisive up front – the Vélodrome has already found its new pillar.
A big win and a liberated dressing room: De Zerbi savors the 4–0 against Lorient, praises his new recruits, and sets the tone: “In Madrid, humility and ambition.”
A perfect night at the Vélodrome: 4–0, clean sheet, new signings already shining. Greenwood strikes first, Pavard scores, Gomes dazzles, Aguerd seals it. Confidence restored ahead of Madrid.
Ten days after the transfer window closed, Benjamin Pavard finally joined OM following his time with Les Bleus. Loaned with an option to buy from Inter, the 2018 World Champion is already looking forward to Friday’s match against Lorient at the Vélodrome: “I couldn’t say no to OM. I’m here to win and live these emotions.”
Star recruit at OM, Pavard arrives from Inter with an impressive CV. But in Lombardy, the club didn’t really fight to hold on to him. Here’s why.
Smart deal or risky bet? Pavard arrives in Marseille, but OM keeps another goal in mind: making a new push for Ordóñez this winter.
With Aguerd, Pavard, Medina, and Emerson, OM has reshaped its backline. Declared non-transferable this summer, captain Leonardo Balerdi now sees his spot under threat.
In just twelve hours, everything changed: Benjamin Pavard said yes to OM. A World Cup champion drawn to the Marseille project and the unique energy of the Vélodrome.
Pavard to the Vélodrome, it’s heating up! OM and Inter have reached an agreement: a 2018 World Cup winner is set to arrive on the Canebière.
