Bilal Nadir Was Rested by Roberto De Zerbi

Bilal Nadir continues to draw attention. During Olympique de Marseille’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Le Havre on Matchday 16 of Ligue 1, the young Moroccan midfielder once again showcased his talent. Scoring his first goal in the French top flight this season, he reaffirmed his immense potential.

At just 21 years old, Nadir wasted no time making an impact. In the 39th minute, he scored a stunning goal, combining technical skill with precision. Following a perfect first touch, he unleashed an unstoppable low shot across the goal, leaving Le Havre’s goalkeeper, Arthur Desmas, completely helpless. His performance left a lasting impression on his coach, Roberto De Zerbi.

In a post-match press conference, the Italian manager was full of praise for his player:

“I was sorry to take him off at halftime (replaced by Ismaël Koné, editor’s note). But we were already three goals ahead, and I didn’t want him to risk a second yellow card. In Pierre-Emile Højbjerg’s absence, Nadir offers great reliability. He knows the Stade Vélodrome very well and is a very talented player. He could become an important asset for the team.”
