Since arriving at OM this winter, Vitinha has suffered from a lack of playing time, and Igor Tudor prefers to trust Alexis Sanchez at the top of his attack. Thus, the solution could be a link between the Portuguese player and the Chilean striker, which is what the Marseille coach is thinking of.
Since arriving at Marseille, Vitinha has not had the opportunity to show the full extent of his talent on the field. However, Igor Tudor recently stated that he is considering a partnership between Vitinha and Alexis Sanchez. In fact, during an interview with La Provence, the OM coach explained: “I am convinced that Vitinha and Alexis can play together. They have complementary characteristics. Vitinha has great pace and can play on the wings, while Alexis is more of a number 9, but can also play as a second striker.
A statement indicating a possible reign for Vitina alongside the Chilean player in the upcoming OM meetings. An association that could allow Vitinha to show his full potential and justify his transfer amount. In addition, the confidence that Igor Tudor has shown in the Portuguese player could boost his morale and allow him to work even harder to establish himself in the Marseille team.
Despite a difficult start to the season for Vitina, the future looks promising for the young OM striker. His potential link with Alexis Sanchez could be key to his success at Marseille. We just have to wait for the next meetings to see if this assembly will bear fruit.
