De Zerbi: Gouiri Has Potential to Become Top European Striker

Following Olympique de Marseille’s impressive victory over Saint-Étienne, manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed his satisfaction with Amine Gouiri’s performance. The 24-year-old Algerian international scored twice in the match, but De Zerbi believes he has even more potential to unlock.

During the post-match press conference, De Zerbi stated, “Gouiri is an exceptionally talented player. However, he needs to fully embrace the role of a true number 9. I’ve discussed this with him, emphasizing the importance of specializing in this position. He must constantly be aware of the goal’s location and develop a flawless finishing technique. Once he improves these aspects, he will undoubtedly become one of Europe’s top players, as he’s already a crucial part of our team.”

Gouiri has quickly become an integral player for Marseille, contributing to five goals in just three appearances. He provided an assist in his debut against Lyon, followed by two more assists against Angers, before netting a brace against Saint-Étienne in today’s match.

The young striker’s performances have not gone unnoticed, with his latest display earning him top marks in player ratings for the match. As Gouiri continues to develop and refine his skills as a center-forward, football fans and experts alike will be watching closely to see if he can fulfill the potential that De Zerbi sees in him.
