- Dario Benedetto has scored just three goals in four months. With seven achievements since his arrival at OM, he is half the goal set by his coach, André Villas-Boas.
- According to the Portuguese, Dario Benedetto “is not a real goalscorer. "
- "He does not balk at defensive tasks and participates in the collective game," confirms Mamadou Niang, who considers that the Argentine is "a real plus for OM. "
Three goals in four months. “Pipa” strikes us down. After a flamboyant start (four goals in five games), Dario Benedetto hardly scores any more. Should we worry about it? Not at all, we answer in chorus André Villas-Boas, Marc Libbra, Mamadou Niang and two supporters of OM, before the reception of Angers, Saturday (5.30pm).
“Dario remains a different player, he is not a real goalscorer, launches his coach, André Villas-Boas. I am very satisfied with his performance, we remain within this goal of 15 goals. With seven mid-season achievements, the SuperDario run times are correct. "He is a player who was brought to Marseille for his association game, he does it to perfection", concludes "AVB. "
"He does a lot of work to exhaust the defenses"
“Benedetto does not refuse the game, shifts Mamadou Niang, joined by 20 Minutes . He does not balk at defensive tasks and participates in the collective game, it's a plus for OM! Even if he happens to miss his games, as in Rennes, for example, Benedetto often manages to shine even without scoring. Against Granville for example, his appeal in the depth loving two defenders and opens the goal to Radonjic, author of the goal of the break .
"Benedetto sucks he doesn't score" on radonjic's goal he attracts the two defenders which gives Rado space to come in and shoot. On the goal of payet c he who recovers thanks to his pressing but keep talking about stats ..... #TeamOM #granvilleom
- dolito (@dolulito) January 17, 2020"He does a lot of work to exhaust the defenses, calls to open the spaces, he never lets go of the defenders!" He is a boy who is not stingy with efforts… In short, he is a great recruit, ”enthuses Marc Libbra. "He may have a slackness linked to winter temperatures, the defenders are watching him more after his good start to the season and the truce may have cut his legs," said the former Olympian striker, not worried for two under: "All attackers have empty runs at the statistics level! "
"Lack of support"
Very often, these periods of scarcity are enough to trigger the anger of Marseille supporters. But for now, Benedetto is keeping the Vélodrome's favor. "He is less well physically but he remains essential to the team by his travels, his discounts, his pressing, his offensive and defensive head game", notes Ludovic, who recalls that Benedetto "does not harvest much. "He gets just fewer direct opportunities, as the circles shine, including Payet, Sanson and Rongier. "He lacks support around him ... We can think that it will be better for him with the return of Thauvin, that he will have more balloons to negotiate", hopes Julien, subscriber in Ganay.
Dario Benedetto: “I know that one day I will return to Boca. If not as a player, I will do so as a fan. I do not know if I will live elsewhere what I experienced there. I don't regret leaving, even if I didn't want to leave. "

The converse will no doubt also be true: the former Boca Juniors player has proven that he is a real collective player. "I'm used to living with the pressure of the attacker," he told us in September. But the most important thing is the team, not the individuals. It is as beautiful as a feint of body against Gautier Larsonneur, and it is especially true: OM have not lost a match since October 30, so why worry?
