The Olympique de Marseille coach distributed the good points for certain players in his squad this week.
Stuck in the soft underbelly of the Ligue 1 rankings, Olympique de Marseille has regained confidence on the European scene by signing a new success against AEK Athens this Thursday (2-0). A victory which allowed certain players to score points in the eyes of Gennaro Gattuso.
Among the great satisfactions of the day are Geoffrey Kondogbia. In a period marked by the long-term absence of Valentin Rongier, OM can count on the experience and impact of their summer reinforcement in the midfield. “I didn’t invent this player, he played at Inter, at Atletico, he’s a quality player, who always gives you a solution technically. He exudes real strength, he had a great match. This (Thursday) morning, I spoke with Pau (Lopez) to tell him that I was going to name Kondogbia captain, I prefer a field player to speak with the referee, rather than a goalkeeper, and he has everything suite understood. This is the state of mind of this team…”.
Gattuso doesn’t forget Vitinha
For his part, center forward Vitinha did not find the net, but Gennaro Gattuso did not hesitate to give a laudatory speech about him. “Vitinha, I really liked it… But with every question about him, I have the impression that you think I don’t like him, when I adore him. I have the impression that you are looking for an argument about this.” Renowned for his volcanic temperament, Gattuso seems to favor the carrot over the stick since his arrival on the Marseille bench.
