Omar Marmoush has become the other in front of Egypt’s superstar. No Bundesliga player, not even Harry Kane, worried about more goals than the guy from Eintracht Frankfurt. Now Manchester City has taken him to the Premier League.
With almost 26 years, this has been a dramatic increase. Recently as 2022, Marmoush suffers in Stuttgart, lent by the Wolfsburg parent club at that time. His fortune took a step forward in Frankfurt, a club that has become the market.
In statements to Frankfurt sports director, Markus Krosche, before this season, is still as positive as ever about the perspective that the club wear his biggest stars. “Selling players is a component of my work. I’m not excited about that. He told Sky Sports.
“Verify that you think about the player. They need titles. They need to play in the Premier League or in the Champions League. This is a general process. There will be a point for the player to develop faster than the club and then we let it go.
“This is what I tell all the players. If your development is faster than our development as a club, and I get the money I expect, I will let you go. This is why so many young talents like to come to Frankfurt because we know what we have to do to develop them.”
But, even according to Frankfurt’s main criteria, Marmoush’s example is extreme. Signed in a loose movement of Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023, he remodeled in one of the most productive players in the Bundesliga, a complete attacker to compete with the most productive in Europe.
This past year in Wolfsburg he has generated five goals in the Bundesliga. He had never reached double figures for a championship crusade until he showed up in Frankfurt. But this tally of 12 goals in his first season has already been eclipsed halfway through his second. He is 13.
While this is a testomony of Frankfurt’s ability to identify talent, it is not that Marmoush’s rise was completely unexpected. Michael Wimmer is a coach who worked largely with the player of his loan spell in Stuttgart in the 2021/22 season.
“I am not surprised by all this because I was convinced that Omar had huge potential,” Wimmer tells Sky Sports. “It was already clear he had a great future ahead of him. He knew exactly what he wanted and had the determination and the mindset to achieve it.”
Wimmer recalls Marmoush’s remarkable appetite to improve, although not necessarily with affection. After training, he insisted on staying out of the paintings at the end. “It doesn’t matter what the climatic situations are. Omar didn’t care if he was exangueted or soaked!”
That dedication to the detail mattered. Marmoush’s final game for Stuttgart was a crucial one for the club. They needed to win to stay in the Bundesliga and were chasing a late goal against Cologne. Marmoush came off the bench to help make it happen.
“It’s 92 minute and Omar took the last corner of the game under maximum pressure,” Wimmer recalled. Stuttgart is now in the Champions League.
Marmoush’s progress has been every bit as startling and Wimmer is magnanimous enough to credit Dino Toppmoller, the Frankfurt coach, for bringing out the best in the player. “The way that Frankfurt play football is good for Omar. It fits him perfectly.”
But the component of what makes Marmoush such a horny proposal is that it is not only to serve as in the team in a variety of other roles, but it is someone who has the ability to prosper in the concept of the coach and independently of the stage of the game stage.
“When Omar came to us, he, without delay, accepted because everyone knew that he could simply and he would help us. He is someone who adapts temporarily and makes him adapt to many clubs because he is also very flexible and adapts to many styles of playing.
“For example, you can play with a low block opponent because it has the technical capacity to solve the conditions once and the ability to locate answers in tight spaces. Thanks to its game, it is an intelligent combined player.
“But all the clubs that play with intense dress and attack because it also has their qualities in the transition, where you can then use the speed of their movement towards the purpose and dynamic game.
“And if a team is looking for the spaces in between to create numerical overloads in the middle spaces, then that’s better for them too, because they have the guidance skills to shoot at the right time and solve conditions with their dynamism and creativity. “
His flexibility is probably one thing that made him horny for Manchester City, in particular. His dependence on Erling Haaland has been such that he has started every game for the club in the Premier League and Champions League this season.
Consequently, calling an external attacker is a limited call because the threat would be that such a player is denied the game time. What is mandatory is who has the perspective to exceed Haaland, if it is mandatory, but also to play in the same team as him.
It is the role that Julian Álvarez played for two seasons before spending at Atlético de Madrid in summer. Marmous can also do it. “In my opinion, Omar is very flexible and I think he can play in almost all offensive positions,” explains Wimmer.
“It has a massive preference to write down and is very determined. It is very intelligent opposite to one, very intelligent and makes the right decisions. It is very dynamic and fast and technically it is exceptional. It is mature and safe of everything. It does. “
Wimmer believes that Marmoush is “the best attack player in the partial space or the suspended striker, betting on an objective man,” however, he warns that two and a half years have passed since he worked with him daily. Players come up with many things in those days. “
In Marmoush’s case, this is true. His evolution as a goalscorer is partly because Frankfurt used him more centrally than before. Lifting from afar, Wimmer also detected other advances in his game, which took him to level.
“For me, he has also mainly taken his defensive paintings so that he also paints well for the team that opposes the ball now,” he explains. “He has a player who also brings a great attack and intensity to his pressing thanks to his dynamism. “
His ascent has been so impressive that Wimmer considers that a mid -season movement is bittersweet. Frankfurt is flying in the Bundesliga. Marmush is just a kane purpose on score lists. You no longer have any help. The story does not seem complete.
“It’s that Eintracht can and will do it to achieve a lot this season. I am really pleased with the path that is taken and will continue to descend. That’s why I’d personally like to see him continue in Frankfurt or in the Bundesliga in general. “
Wait that Krosche, one guy with more, say in the matter, have a pragmatic vision. Frankfurt obtained an ordinary benefit in some other firm that they helped become an ordinary player. The city of men hopes to be the beneficiaries now.
