Angel Gomez: More Than a Recruit, the Symbol of Renewal

The transfer window is not just about rumors. It is also, and above all, about the arrival of new faces and new promises. And the first of this summer is Angel Gomez! His official presentation was a real breath of fresh air, and this young player could very well be the cornerstone of De Zerbi's project.

"Immensely Proud": Words That Speak to Our Supporter's Heart

What immediately strikes you about Angel Gomez is his maturity. Far from clichés, he delivered a calm, intelligent speech full of respect for the institution. His first words, "It is an immense pride to wear this jersey," resonated strongly with us. He spoke of the Vélodrome, its history, its fervor. He knows where he is setting foot. He is not coming to Marseille by chance; he chose the club for its atmosphere and for the sports project.

This attitude is fundamental. We are tired of mercenaries who see OM only as a stepping stone. With Gomez, we sense a real desire to commit for the long term, to grow with the club. He spoke about his journey, his training at Manchester United, his championship title with Lille. He is not a beginner. He is a young player who has already experienced the very high level and arrives with a hunger of a wolf. This is exactly the mindset we need.

The Ideal Profile for De Zerbi's System

Beyond the speech, it is on the field that Gomez is expected. And his technical profile is enough to make us drool. An attacking midfielder, a relayer, capable of playing as a number 10 or on the flank, his versatility is a major asset. But it's his passing quality, vision of the game, and ability to move between the lines that make him the perfect "De Zerbi-compatible" player. The Italian coach bases his football on ball control, short and quick passes, and players capable of breaking through opposing lines. Gomez, that's exactly it!

We can already imagine him as a launching pad for our arrows, delivering assists for our striker. He himself admitted that De Zerbi's style was a determining factor in his arrival. He knows that with this coach, he will progress and that his qualities will be magnified. His arrival is not a simple transfer; it is a statement of intent. OM wants beautiful play, intelligence, and talent. Angel Gomez ticks all the boxes. The first impression is excellent. Now remains the hardest part: proving it on the pitch. But the thrill of excitement is indeed real.
