Gennaro Gattuso was extremely furious following the misstep recorded by OM against Nice this Saturday.
OM fell back into their mistakes this Saturday. While they had revived by falling Le Havre before the international break, the Phocéens fell against Nice away this Saturday.
Gattuso ‘angry’ with referee
The match scenario is frustrating. While they were well in the match, especially defensively, the Marseillais gave in on a set piece and following the expulsion of one of their players, in this case Leonardo Balerdi.
2 – Gennaro Gattuso is the first coach to experience 2 defeats in his first 3 Ligue 1 matches with Marseille since Eric Gerets in October 2007 (same record as the Italian, 1 victory and 2 losses). Complicated. #OGCNOM pic.twitter.com/FnoTwoMuxg

Gennaro Gattuso, the Olympian coach, did not like this outcome. But what made him angry above all was the fact of not having been able to make the change he hoped for before the goal conceded. Abdoul Meité was supposed to come into play, but his incorporation was delayed because he had not put on his shin guards.
“We should ask the 4e referee why the change did not take place. I got angry. The fourth said no. For shin guards, that’s certainly the reason”he lamented at the microphone of Canal+.
Apart from this sequence, the transalpine technician indicated that he had little to reproach his troops. “Yes, it’s a shame. But to win matches you have to score goals. Overall it was a good performance. The fault lies not with Balerdi, but with all of us. It was an interesting match but we need to review details. We had control, we had chances and I’m happy with the game. We deserved better. We’re going to work and we’re going to recover. We had the right attitude, especially with ten people. You have to keep trying.”
