The coach of Olympique de Marseille, Gennaro Gattuso, approached the match against Lyon with the greatest vigilance.
Ninth in Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille faces Olympique Lyonnais in a match classified as very high risk in terms of security, more than a month after the serious incidents that occurred around the Stade Vélodrome. A match that OM sees as an ideal opportunity to make a small jump in the standings.
In the event of a victory, Gennaro Gattuso’s team could overtake FC Nantes and move back to the bottom of the top 7. However, the Italian technician is particularly vigilant. Despite the critical position of his opponent – bottom of Ligue 1 – Gattuso relies on the content proposed by the Lyonnais in Lens (2-3) to emphasize the quality of Les Gones.
“They have quality everywhere”
“ When we look at this Lyon team, it’s difficult to understand why they are there in the rankings, said Gennaro Gattuso. They have quality everywhere, especially in attack. They have a lot of quality, they put in a great performance against Lens. They can cause us problems and make us doubt. The last match may seem misleading. They beat Rennes. If we are not careful and take this match lightly, the result will be negative. We have to do the job“, concluded the OM coach.
