This Thursday, Éric Di Meco was delighted with OM’s move to a three-defender system against OL on Wednesday.
And if theOlympic Marseille finally launched its season and finally offered a more attractive game? After several weeks of boring matches without any real depth of play, Gennaro Gattuso seemed above his counterpart from a tactical point of view, something rather rare this season in the Marseille city. Aligned in 3-5-2 with a complementary and decisive Aubameyang-Vitinha duo, the Marseille players produced an interesting copy, to be qualified however by Lyon’s difficulties since the start of the 2023-2024 financial year.
A more convincing system
For Éric Di Meco, the Italian technician has in any case found an area towards which he must continue to work in order to put his players in the best possible condition and to gain confidence and results. “I look forward to seeing this system again. For example against Brighton away in the Europa League, because there we will be forced to take adversity into account. OL was very average”he said in the Super Moscato Show this Thursday.

The winner of the 93 Champions League with OM himself estimated that Gattuso had to abandon his four-defender system to put in place a composition with three central players and two pistons. He then tackled Joaquin Correa and Ismaïla Sarr while mentioning the other positive points of this new system. “Yes, it was only Lyon in front, but we saw a Marseille defense much more comfortable with three. You also have to look at the full-backs. Renan Lodi, who has been average since the start of the season, I prefer to see him higher, and as luck would have it he has been good. This system also allows us not to have the two corridor attackers who are catastrophic”continued the consultant RMC Sport.
