"I'm happy to be at a club with so much personality and I hope I will live up to the trust placed in me,” Zubizarreta said at his presentation. “It’s a club that breathes football, a team with a great heart and soul.
“I’ve spoke with Rudi Garcia. He has an attractive philosophy. He likes to play football. We see the sport in the same way.”
On players playing in the Spanish league, Zubi said that “it’s possible” he’ll look at signing some. “It’s the league I know the best. But football is European, global these days. I also have to look at players in France. We’re going to go for the best players, be that Spanish, French, German…”
Zubizarreta aand Rudi Garcia’s arrivals are an important step forward for Marseille, who are now in the hands of Jaques-Henry Eyraud.
