Keyliane Abdallah has emerged as one of the few positive figures in the early season for Olympique de Marseille (OM). Facing a squad with limited resources and no new signings this summer due to financial difficulties, Abdallah has seized his chance to shine. At just 20 years old, the local product has become one of the more frequently used players under coach Bruno Genesio, accumulating 203 minutes so far. Returning from a loan spell in the Spanish third division with Tarragona, he made an immediate impact during pre-season and confirmed his value with a goal against Strasbourg in the resumption of Ligue 1. He followed that with another goal in a Europa League match against Besiktas in Istanbul, helping OM to a 4-1 victory. In an exclusive interview with BFM Marseille, Abdallah expressed his satisfaction with his contributions to the team. "I give everything, without cheating. My objective is to continue, to keep my feet on the ground and not get too big-headed, in order to achieve even more," he said. He also emphasized the strong team spirit, stating, "No one cheats in this group." Scoring his first goal at the Vélodrome, the stadium of his childhood club, was a dream come true for the young right winger. "It is indescribable, I have no words. It is a very, very strong feeling. It is my mentor, my heart club. I have always dreamed of playing for this badge at a professional level," he said, showing his deep connection to OM. Abdallah also praised the open communication between the coach and the players, noting that Genesio is "very close to his players" and "really in the exchange with his staff." He added that he is the nephew of former OM player Toifilou Maoulida, which likely adds to his sense of belonging. Despite the current challenges, Abdallah remains optimistic about the team's future. OM is currently in 17th place in Ligue 1 and has lost five consecutive matches across all competitions. "It is frustrating. We make strong starts, but then we begin to lose our footing towards the end of the game. However, there are good things, which is encouraging," he said, acknowledging both the struggles and the potential for improvement. With the international break behind them, Abdallah and OM face a crucial match against Troyes on October 11. A win in that game could serve as a turning point for the team. For Abdallah, it will be an opportunity to continue proving his worth and to help OM turn its season around. "The season is long, we will continue to work to come back stronger," he said, echoing the determination of his team.
