This Thursday, Gennaro Gattuso appeared at a press conference to discuss the terrible incidents on the sidelines of the clash between OM and OL but also the next meeting which awaits the Olympians this Saturday at the Stade Velodrome against Lille.
The Italian manager who is trying to establish his tactical palette within his team spoke of the competition between his two attackers, namely Vitinha and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
For the former Napoli technician, the two players are at the same level and neither player has taken over the other for the number 9 position.
A speech which reassures the two scorers. “ We have two attackers, they are fast, even if Vitinha will rather play with a ball on him. For me it’s not a problem to have these two players, it’s more of a resource. For me, whether players play 30 or 70 minutes does not necessarily mean that there is an impact. I don’t want to create a duel between them. Vitinha, I see him calm, he played 70 minutes against AEK. I’m happy with the way Vitinha and Aubameyang are training. For the matches, it’s up to me. What I see from them is that there is a lot of respect. ” did he declare.
Towards Aubameyang starting this Saturday against Lille?
Ninth in the Ligue 1 standings, with 12 points and a game in hand, Olympique de Marseille must win in front of their supporters to get back to the top of the table.
Gennaro Gattuso’s players suffered a defeat on the OGC Nice pitch during the 9th day. A success is therefore essential so as not to let new points slip away. During this meeting, Gattuso will have to deal with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in attack.
An Olympian success would give confidence to the Marseille squad before their trip to AEK Athens, which risks being a decisive match for the rest of the competition.
