Yesterday, Arik Milik scored and allowed Umyan to win at home against Lokomotiv Moscow (1-0) and ensured his participation in the Conference League. It should be a good target for the Poland international who has had a complicated first half of the season. However, the match looks a lot less cheerful when Milik is on the field and he doesn’t seem to be sought after by his teammates when he’s on the field. He also struggles with ball handling and often loses the ball, which happened a lot last season. Here is what journalist Karim Bennani had to say:
“Melek’s return with complementary changes gives her an attack in Marseille”
“There is one element that we haven’t talked about much but it’s the return of Milik, who changed the course of the match offensively in Marseille. They say it’s less exciting offensively than before, as Marseille scored many goals and scored a lot. There, he is more thoughtful and rational. Especially because Melek, he had to be incorporated into this team. The game is not the same at all. When Melek wasn’t there, Payet turned into a false nine, so he turned around. A bit like Leon with Paqueta. Today there’s an anchor and that’s Melek, so it’s more stereotypical. You have to go through the sides and center Milik’s head. There’s not a lot of flop play. That’s why Marseille’s game is more typical than it was in previous weeks. Long season and league”
So let’s hope that Milik wins more to come and get the balls and that yesterday’s match is the start of the ex-Napoli player getting back into shape.
