Amine Gouiri continues to go from strength to strength with OM, so much so that he has completely won over his coach after another stellar performance.

Olympique de Marseille keeps building momentum, and Amine Gouiri has become one of its most influential figures. After delivering a top-class display against FC Metz, capped off with a brilliant assist, the Algerian striker is proving he’s truly back to his best.

After the match, Habib Beye didn’t hide his delight:

"We’re very happy to see Amine back at this level, at 100%. People criticized us for not starting him, but we can't afford to lose Amine. We couldn’t rush his return. He scored for the national team and then against Monaco. Tonight, he delivered an assist; he brings cohesion to the team. He’s a very important player—what he brings to our game goes far beyond the stats. Amine played a top-quality match. Of course, everyone deserves credit, but we’re especially pleased with Amine. He’s a facilitator, he understands the game and how to exploit space. We give him freedom to play, and he always looks to get forward. That pass to Traoré was incredibly selfless and technically brilliant. We need Amine at this level if we want to reach our goals."

Beyond the numbers, Gouiri is asserting himself as a vital part of Marseille’s attacking setup. His ability to link play and read the game gives new hope to an ambitious OM in this crucial stretch of the season.
