After a promising beginning of the season, Giannelli Imbula is currently facing a more challenging period at OM. The midfielder, initially part of the starting lineup under Élie Baup, now finds himself on the sidelines more often and is confronted with fierce competition within the Marseille squad. Additionally, his exclusion from the French junior team due to behavioral issues adds to his recent struggles.
Imbula’s recent performance at the Emirates Stadium, where he was included in the Marseille midfield by Élie Baup, did not meet expectations, marking a disappointing turn in his season. Reflecting on his form, Imbula admitted to a decline, acknowledging the impact on his performances. Despite recognizing the justification for his substitution and accepting healthy competition within the team, he emphasized the need for personal improvement, particularly in defensive work and recovery, acknowledging that he strives for progress even if he cannot compare himself to legendary players like Edgar Davids.
