Steven Fortes in Lens delivers his analysis of the new Marseille recruit. A profile cut for OM according to him.
Steven Fortes does not hide his enthusiasm for the arrival of Facundo Medina at OM. The former Lensois defender, who rubbed shoulders with the Argentinian in Pas-de-Calais, predicts successful integration.
« OM will match it. The grinta, wet the jersey, is in the DNA of 'Fac'. It is a very good recruit for OM, a good choice, it will be fine ”assured the native of Marseille to Provence.
An underestimated technical profile
Strong insisted on the ball qualities at the defender's foot, often hidden by his temperament: “He is very aggressive on the man, very good recovery, very good in the position game, especially when his team plays with three central defenders. »»
The former teammate underlined his ability to break the lines: “He does not hesitate to ask for the ball in higher intervals for a partner to rush into the breach. He is technically very clean, his passes break a lot of lines. 'FAC' is one of the best defenders in Europe in terms of land gain. »»
Beyond football qualities, Strong evoked the singular character of Medina: “When he's in a room, you know!” He is always in a good mood, sets the mood. He's crazy. »
This personality could quickly seduce the Marseille wardrobe, according to his former partner who concluded: “On the ground, he gives off something very aggressive without really being, and is sometimes caught up in his grinta. »»
26-year-old Medina has been playing in Lens since the summer of 2020. The Argentinian international has previously taken part in 147 Ligue 1 games.
