Algerian international Himad Abdelli continues to impress with Olympique de Marseille. During Sunday's match against his former club, Angers, the midfielder scored the equalizing goal to bring the score to 1-1. Having joined Marseille in the last winter transfer window, Abdelli is becoming increasingly influential in the team's attack. Out of respect for his former teammates and supporters, he chose not to celebrate his goal, offering a gesture of apology instead. Regarding his tactical role, Abdelli recently shared his preference for playing as a number 8, despite his versatility in fulfilling deeper defensive midfield duties as requested by his coach.
