An elder from the Marseille house has highlighted the challenge that awaits the new Marseille recruit, Igor Peaceão.
This summer, Olympique de Marseille did not hesitate to break its piggy bank to afford Igor Passion.
The Brazilian striker left Feyenoord to join the Canebière against an amount of around 35 million euros. A weight reinforcement for Roberto de Zerbi, but also a transfer scrutinized very closely, both by the followers and by the faithful of OM. And for good reason, the 25 -year -old becomes, with this deal, the most expensive recruit in the history of the club.
Naturally, a certain form of pressure should not fail to accompany Peaceão, as Boudewijn Zenden pointed out. The former Olympian left side is certainly aware of the qualities of the neo-Marseillais, but recalls that the requirement will be up to the investment made. A wait that could weigh on the shoulders of Macapa's child, for the better and for the worst.
“Peaceão is not going to escape it”
“Igor Peaceão is a winger, with a lot of speed, who dribbles a lot to overflow on his side. It is quite effective in front of the goal. He will score goals. In any case, I hope for him and the OM supporters given the price paid by the club to engage it ”said the former Dutch international in the columns of Provencethis Thursday.
And to recall: “OM is a particular club. It is also for this reason that I mentioned the amount of his transfer. Unfortunately, when a club pays for a recruit, people expect even more. Peaceão will not escape it. It's up to him to do everything to make this confidence. He must keep in mind, too, that Ligue 1 is not an easy championship, it is very physical, very technical. I also know that OM supporters expect a lot of their players, perhaps even more when they are bought so expensive. »»
