Head coach of French Ligue 1 side Marseille Habib Beye has told Nigeria international midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi what he needs to add to his game, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nnadi joined the Ligue 1 side in the January transfer window from Belgium side Zulte Waregem after representing Nigeria at the AFCON.
He failed to make his debut for the team under then coach Roberto De Zerbi, who has now left the club.
De Zerbi’s replacement Beye gave him his debut at the club, but has so far sparingly used him in games, and he explained why in an interview ahead of this weekend’s game against Metz.
“No, Nnadi makes a very good impression on me,” but it’s in this area where we have the most players; we have seven or eight midfielders. So, in this situation, rotation isn’t necessarily frequent for them.
“I’m very satisfied with his contribution, especially defensively and his ability to press four or five metres.
“Having spoken with him, I’d also like to see him work on that offensively. He needs to be able to inject some dynamism; in a two-man midfield, you need players who can also contribute in the second line.”
