Giannelli Imbula has emerged as an essential player in Elie Baup’s system at Marseille, relegating Benoit Cheyrou to the bench. The young midfielder, who was the best player in Ligue 2 the previous year, quickly adapted to the Marseille environment and even caught the attention of the national team coach, Didier Deschamps.
Despite his success, Imbula remains grounded and is not in a hurry for international recognition. He stated, “I think it’s still too early. What has to happen will happen, but for now, I must say that I am in no hurry.” The Franco-Congolese player is focused on his development and contributions to Marseille, prioritizing patience over rushing into the international spotlight.
