Vitinha shared his admiration for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, applauding the Gabonese striker’s influence and considering him a role model. The Portuguese forward, who scored and assisted in Marseille’s win against Olympique Lyonnais (3-0), expressed delight in partnering with Aubameyang.
Reflecting on their successful collaboration against OL, Vitinha credited their partnership’s growth to dedicated teamwork, expressing readiness to further develop their on-field rapport.
The chemistry between Pierre and me clicked well against OL. We’ve been working towards that. It’s been one of our best moments. Our playing dynamic depends on the tactics deployed by the coach.
His arrival has been gratifying for me; there’s much I can learn from him. Playing alongside him is a joy, we share a great bond. If given the chance to play together again, I hope we replicate the same successful outcome as against OL,” Vitinha stated in an interview with footballclubdemarseille.
Gennaro Gattuso, addressing the attacking duo’s performance, emphasized their effective partnership and highlighted its tactical advantages.
“Aubameyang and Vitinha displayed an excellent performance. Their compatibility allows Aubameyang the flexibility to shift positions. They’ve shown good synergy, and we’ll continue to assess their contributions.
Each brings different qualities to the game; Vitinha’s physicality stands out, and there’s a genuine connection.
Ndiaye is also a potential option in our setup,” Gattuso remarked to the media.
The admiration and synergy between Vitinha and Aubameyang appear to be key factors contributing to Marseille’s attacking strategy, as Gattuso weighs the potential of various offensive combinations.
The partnership seems poised for further exploration, promising exciting prospects for the team’s forward line.
