Mario Lemina’s journey at Marseille has been interesting, especially with Marcelo Bielsa’s arrival. It’s quite something that Lemina didn’t even know Bielsa before he joined the club! But after seeing Bielsa’s work ethic and style, Lemina clearly respects him a lot and feels motivated by his demanding approach.
Being repositioned as a central defender is a big change for Lemina, who is naturally a midfielder. Yet, he seems to embrace the challenge and values Bielsa’s detailed coaching—especially how the coach keeps a close eye on him to help him improve.
If Lemina can adapt well and rise to the challenge, Bielsa’s trust and style could be exactly what he needs to secure a regular starting spot and take his game to the next level. Fingers crossed for him!
