Pol Lirola confirms his spleen son at OM
Pablo Longoria won a big showdown against Fiorentina during the last summer transfer window. The president of Olympique de Marseille has managed to complete the transfer of Pol Lirola. The Spanish right side came out of a good freelance with OM. Arrived on loan in January 2021, the right-back had a promising half-season in Marseille. Reason why both the Marseille club and the player himself pushed for him to stay in Provence. During his loan, the defender then under contract with La Viola played 22 games for two goals and four assists. Sufficient to convince the Provençal club to slam a check appears at 13 million euros in order to exercise its purchase option. Only, since his return to Marseille, the 24-year-old side is struggling to regain his level. Chose that he confirms on the sidelines of the reception of Monaco this Sunday.
Pol Lirola makes his mea culpa
The Spanish right-back has just one goal and two assists in 35 games this season. A record far from delighting the member of Olympique de Marseille. He hopes to resume his habits with OM. “I am very well physically, the problem is not there […] I am not at the level that is expected of me. The system, the style of play? I don’t know why. There are a lot of things to take into account, but the most important thing is not to let go to regain my level and my self-confidence,” admitted the Spaniard at a press conference. Despite his bad run, Lirola retains the confidence of Jorge Sampaoli. His coach has established him 23 times in the current campaign.
