Polish charm.
The new Olympique de Marseille striker, Arkadiusz Milik, was officially presented on Tuesday afternoon, after playing for half an hour in the defeat against Monaco on Saturday (3-1) in Ligue 1. “I have read in their eyes that they wanted me, and that they needed an attacker.
It was a good option for me, a challenge in this period when I was not playing, ”explained the former striker from Naples, where he has not played a single minute since the start of the season.
After this long period without a match (except with the selection of Poland), many wonder about his state of form.
“I'm ready to play soccer, I haven't played for a few months so I lost my rhythm a bit, but I'm training hard and hope to be able to play 90 minutes very quickly.
I need to play to find the rhythm ”, wanted to reassure the accomplice of Lewandowski in selection.
"Most important, to mark"
Aware of arriving at a very demanding club, where the last center-forwards struggled, Arkadiusz Milik has no doubts about his abilities.
“Of course it's not easy, there is always a lot of waiting.
I know and respect this expectation, the most important thing for me is to score.
I'm ready, ”he warned.
For Pablo Longoria, the sports director of OM, this recruitment was "the best opportunity of this transfer window", when André Villas Boas wants him "to find his full potential in the workforce".
And this from the match against Rennes, at home, Saturday (9 pm)?
