The “Citizens” had their own Sala.
It is even a pity that there is no longer a strong confrontation in the championship race in England between Liverpool and Manchester City, which neutral fans would like. The latest acquisition of the “Citizens” would add additional gravity to this battle, because on Etihad there was a football player who is compared to the leader of Liverpool Mohamed Salah.
However, not rather, not according to the style of play, but by the fact that he is also Egyptian. Still, perhaps, according to the role of the role as a whole, as well as on a rather late disclosure. After all, we remember the story of Salah, who went to England through Chelsea, where he did not succeed. And only after a visit to Fiorentina and Roma, he returned to Premier League Already in Liverpool, with which he creates history.
Universal scorer
The biography of Marmush is somewhat similar to the rise of Salah. It only turned out to be even faster. The path from a free agent to a player for 75 million euros took only a year and a half. Who would have thought.
Now Marmush is 25 years old. By modern standards, when all talented football players have been watched since childhood, and they are revealed almost by teenagers, Omar, of course, is eliminated from the general row. Although he began a European career in 2017, having moved from the Egyptian “Vadi Digla” to Wolfsburg. In Germany, they looked at the striker’s talent, but for a long time they did not understand how to reveal it.
It is now that we know Marmush as one of the best scorers in the Bundesliga. He, playing for Frankfurt “Aintracht”, is second behind Harry Kane from Bavaria in terms of heads – 15 pieces. For half a season in Aintracht, Omar scored 27 goals in the German championship and made 15 assists. Even the optimistic Frankfurters, who claimed to have signed great talents, hardly expected such an escape.
Before this catch – Marmush was replaced more often and did not differ in intelligible effective actions, further organizing outbreaks and previews of talents, which in itself is the potential buyers, when you are 15 years old, not 24 years old. German experts believe that Omar was unlucky with coaches. These simply could not understand it, could not appreciate how best to use the forces of the unusual attacker. His skill required special attention and shaving, and “Wolfsburg” needed a result, goals were needed – no one really dealt with Marmush.
Not useful
For four seasons in the “Wolfsburg” Marmush was replaced 26 times and only 15 times in the starting lineup. It was rented twice in St. Pauli and Stuttgart. In this mode, it is impossible to gain a foothold anywhere and prove yourself. Especially if you don’t feel confident and understand that your time is extremely limited.
He is sometimes compared to Atalanta’s Aemo Lukman. It also took a lot of time and getting into a specific trainer to open up. Yes, Lukman’s talent was still highly appreciated, but no one wanted to play and look for an application. Therefore, he played for three different clubs in three different leagues in two and a few years.
Marmusha had a good chance to reach the high level after the 2021/22 season, when he flashed in Stuttgart as a renter, he even came to the premium of the best newcomer in the Bundesliga. However, the return to Wolfsburg was not put – Friction with Nico Kovach put a cross on his prospects. They could not find a common language with the coach. There was a case when Marmush was replaced in a substitution break, and after 19 minutes he was replaced, because he allegedly worked poorly for the defense. When it became clear that Omar did not plan to extend the contract with Wolfsburg, he was fired.
He pushed the bottom
In the summer of 2023, in his 24 years, Marmush was a free agent. SO -SO HISTORY. At the age when people usually conclude a contract of their life, a football player with talents, but it turned out to be incomprehensible results without a team. That’s when Aintracht drew. And there Omar was so transformed that in the club itself they hardly hoped for it.
At first, Marmush successfully fit into the counterattack “Aintracht”, and then created an excellent group with a former striker PSG South equipment. They understood each other perfectly, interacted very well. Everyone knows how to sink deep and support a partner. The attackers were perfectly shared in the situation, without duplicating them, but knowing the same as a partner. This greatly confuses the enemy defense and gives variability in attack, which is very important for a team like Aintracht, which does not have deep resources.
Interestingly, Manchester City Marmush proved necessary in many ways. No, not because of a lack of resources, of course, but because the “townsmen” seem to rely on the crisis of variability and ideas in the attack. It seems to have a set of fine masters, the best in their business. But during the recession, this turns into ball-busting and a shortage of ideas. Marmush with new and creative thoughts allowed Aintracht to destroy the protection of rivals who exceeded many parameters, at the same time involving their team partners in this process.
For Josep Guardiola, this is extremely valuable. It’s unlikely that he just needs a master torn out of context. He probably noticed this quality in Marmush – the inclusion of others in the draws, in combination. Sometimes this “city” of ignition players is not enough. But the contribution in any case is quite risky. However, the style of the Bundesliga and Premier League This differs significantly. And in Germany, Marmush played only the last one and a half at a very high level. Manchester City is therefore making a dangerous bet. But in the current situation, he cannot do otherwise. It will be interesting to see.
