Dimitri Payet, a must see player!
The Marseille midfielder is one of the great figures of the team and the French national team. Last season he was one of the most important players he presented, Payet is one of Marseille's veterans and the main orchestrator of the team's offense. During the Olympique de Marseille season, the midfielder participated in 46 games in all the team's competitions, in these games he scored 16 goals and 13 assists, as well as being part of the squad that participated in the Europa League and the Conference League. His constant participation in the French First Division has made him one of the most important candidates in France for the 2022 World Cup, so he will take advantage of this new season to secure a place in the final squad for his team heading to Qatar.
How does Marseille get here?
Olympique de Marseille begins a new stage in Ligue 1 and with the aim of fighting you against Paris Saint Germain. On this occasion, Marseille has presented 8 incorporations, in which Pau López, Mattéo Guendouzi, Arkadiuz Milik and Cengiz Ünder stand out. After some losses in the defensive zone, the team is planning a major restructuring but the reinforcements in the rest of the positions is not surprising. Marseille's aspirations are to have an excellent campaign in Ligue 1 and in the rest of the French team's competitions. Marseille finished the 2021-2022 season in second place, 15 points behind PSG and leaving points in the two direct matches against Paris. That is why the main forward and rear defense have been reinforced with the aim of not leaving points against their direct rival and avoiding being left out of the Europa League in the group stage.
Max Aarons, a must see player!
The Norwich City winger is one of the team's most important promises, he seeks to continue his development in the team and now, with the team's relegation, he will be able to have many more minutes to show his quality and help the team return to the Premier League. During the past season he played 35 games, where he got 2 assists and helped to get 8 clean sheets. Now, his main objective is to consecrate himself as an important piece of the team's defense and continue showing the great level of last season.
How does the Canaries arrive?
Norwich City enter this preparation duel with the aim of the team fighting for promotion to the Premier League, after being relegated last season by finishing the campaign in last place. The team, as is often the case when there is relegation, had to make big changes ahead of the restructuring for the EFL Championship. At the moment, the club has made 2 incorporations, being those of Gabriel Sara and Isaac Hayden. The Norwich team will seek to be one of the protagonists in the EFL Championship and return to the Premier League in just one year.
