The Olympique de Marseille coach presented himself at a press conference this Friday, on the eve of the match in Strasbourg on Saturday (9 p.m.).
Stuck in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Olympique de Marseille will try to start a series of victories in Strasbourg, this Saturday, on behalf of the 13th day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). A match in which the offensive players of the Marseille club will be expected at the turn.
While OM only total 12 goals in 11 Ligue 1 matches during this 2023-24 season, several attackers are singled out for their insufficient performance, starting with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Vitinha and even Joaquin Correa.
“We have to believe in our strengths, have the conviction that we can score”
Three elements that Gennaro Gattuso does not overwhelm. “ We had few players available in recent days but with Correa, Vitinha, Aubameyang, we did additional exercises on how to attack space, combine, score, launched the Italian technician. They are different reasons and it does not only concern the attackers, but also the entire offensive phase and the use of the ball.”
“ We have to believe in our strengths, have the conviction that we can score, create chances, score simple goals and there will come a time when we will score. But we have to keep calm because excitement won’t help us. We have a lot of lost balls, missed passes in the last 30 meters. We are very often in the last 30 meters, but we must improve efficiency“, concluded Gattuso.
