Gattuso's strong reaction after OM's draw

Gennaro Gattuso, the Marseille coach, did not really appreciate his team’s outing in Strasbourg.

While they had promised to bounce back, the OM players did not manage to do better than a draw on the Strasbourg field this Saturday (1-1). The harvest would have even been even more hungry if the Alsatian team had been more effective offensively. Naturally, this copy was not to Gennaro Gattuso’s taste.

“Shit”, Gattuso takes out the stick against his players

The Italian coach regretted the low productivity of his troops after returning from the locker room. He even used very crude words to describe the last 45 minutes. “The second half was shit, he said at the microphone of Canal+. It is not possible. When a team plays that well at the start, it’s impossible to be that bad afterwards. I would have liked us to score goals. Or else I’m going to see the president and tell him to change everything. It is true that the defense should have done better and we did not come back enough, but if the match would have ended 0-2 or 0-3 it would not have been stolen. In 2e half time we didn’t do anything. Everything has to be thrown away, we can’t keep anything. »

Lucid, Gattuso knows that he is not exempt from all reproach because of his tactical choices. However, he did not hesitate to blame his troops even though he had systematically defended them until then. “ I assume my responsibility. But, it is unthinkable that the team would have a half of this type, totally different from the first.”

With its poor performance today, Marseille has only one success in its last 9 Ligue 1 matches. A worrying series which leaves the Phocéens in 9th place.e of the rank.
