In Marseille, the summer transfer window promises to be lively. Because several players of the workforce of Igor Tudor are talking. The first is Nuno Tavares. On loan from Arsenal, the young 23-year-old Portuguese left-back is one of the Croatian coach’s starters (6 goals scored in 32 matches in all competitions). But his irregular performances and his unpredictable mood swings have annoyed more than one. Announced on the departure at the end of the season, Tavares makes talk. Asked about this case, Tudor admitted that the Lusitano has things to improve. Because for the Croatian, his defender has the ability to evolve in the best clubs in the world.
“He is a boy who is still young. He played two days ago with Portugal U21. He has high level physical qualities. He has extraordinary explosiveness. He could play at Real Madrid, Barca or Manchester City. There are other things he needs to improve. He must progress, we often talk. There’s always room for improvement, we’re here to help. We make him see concrete things to improve. He scored 5, 6 goals, I don’t know. He has always been important to us even if he has not had continuity. He is still participating, he is an important player for us. As I always say, we hope he will help us in the last ten games. He is a player who, when he is in good shape, can change things. He can make a difference. »
Tudor wants Guendouzi to progress
Another case discussed, that of Mattéo Guendouzi. The Frenchman also maintains the vagueness about his future in Marseille. A defensive midfielder often used on the attacking front by Tudor, the former Gunnar sometimes seemed tired of not playing regularly in his chosen position. Not to mention the strict treatment inflicted by the technician on his environment. This afternoon, Guendouzi confirmed that he had had approaches from abroad this winter, but he preferred to stay. For his part, Tudor explained himself on this situation.
“I always make the choice that seems the fairest to me, regardless of the player. He always played, he was important, he played well, he had an important season. I always expect more from him, but I say that to everyone. We are working on the flaws. The good things, we put them aside because he has them. He is a midfielder who is in front of the defence, it is true that we have used him above. But his role is to be in front of the defense. The goal is to make it even stronger. It is necessary that, when he is there, that the others do not pass. He can do it, he has a good vision of the game. When you start resting on your laurels, it’s never good. » On good terms.
