Despite OM’s 4-3 victory over Ajax on Thursday evening in the Europa League, Eric Di Meco criticized Gennaro Gattuso’s tactical choices.
OM was scared, but OM provided the essentials. At the end of a spectacular match, the Phocaeans won at the wire (4-3), against Ajax Amsterdam on Thursday evening in the Europa League, thereby validating their ticket for the rest of the competition. A success which did not reassure Eric Di Meco, who was very worried about the Marseille defense. The former club defender especially pointed out the choices of Gennaro Gattuso, who refuses to play with three central defenders.
“This two-person system (in central defense) is not a solution for OM”
“These are recurring problems in central defense. I’m sorry to hammer it but this two-person system (in central defense) is not a solution for OM. I don’t understand. You can be a coach, have certainties, preferred systems, an ideal game in mind etc… but at a given moment look at your squad…”lamented Eric Di Meco in the Super Moscato Show on RMC this Friday.

” It makes me crazy “
And to add another layer: “As long as we concede goals like that and we have these full-backs, what are you waiting for to try to put three central defenders and bring your lanes up!? It drives me crazy, when I see the opposing attacker doing what he does in the box, it drives me crazy! » The message got across well.
