Emmanuel Petit: "If Radonjic continues on this path, I think he will surprise you"

Despite disappointing performances by Nemanja Radonjic since his arrival in Marseille, Emmanuel Petit remains convinced that the Serbian international can be revealed during the season.

Recruited for 12M € by OM in the summer of 2018, Nemanja Radonjic is for many observers a casting error. Moreover, the statistics of the Serb do not plead in his favor because in 29 games played in all competitions in the Olympian jersey, Radonjic did not score any goal and delivered only one assist against Apollon Limassol in the Europa League.

In addition to his mediocre statistics, it is the performances of the Serbian international who questions. Titularized for the second time of the season against Amiens on behalf of the 9th day of Ligue 1, the left winger has alternated between good and bad.

Emmanuel Petit believes in Radonjic

Catastrophic in the first period, chaining the bad choices, Nemanja Radonjic however realized a second correct period thanks to its qualities of dribbling and speed.

Asked about the case of the Serb in the show the After Foot on RMC Sport, Emmanuel Petit is convinced that the left wing can explode during the season.

"It's true he's not good since his arrival. His benefits are tasteless. I do not know what he wants to do with the ball when he has it. I do not understand the relationship he has with his teammates in the field. I have the impression that he is alone, in his world, isolated, and that nothing is happening. On the other hand, what I saw on the last match, even if as usual a lot of things do not have me more, I found that there was a freshness, a tonicity on the first supports, a willingness to go for the duel one-on-one every time he had the ball. Before he did not dare. I saw this freshness that desire that I did not see before home. If he continues on this path, I think he will surprise you. "

Nemanja Radonjic will he succeed to raise his level of play to claim a place in the eleven Olympian? Answer in the coming weeks.
