Once again to his advantage, Sunday, during the new success won by Olympique de Marseille in Lorient, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang allowed himself an imitation of his angry coach.

Four in a row for Olympique de Marseille. After Ajax Amsterdam and Lyon, it was FC Lorient who paid the price for the awakening of the Ciel et Blanc. Visiting Moustoir, Sunday evening, at the end of the 15e day of Ligue 1, OM won 4-2, thus signing a fourth consecutive victory and continuing their rise in the standings. The Olympian club has indeed returned to the gates of the Top 5, even if the podium is still seven lengths away.

However, Gennaro Gattuso hardly liked this that he saw. Consequence of the two faces displayed by his men, sparkling at the start of the match to the point of leading 3-0 after half an hour of play and much less inspired afterwards. “ I told them I wasn’t really happy. There are quite a few aspects that we need to improve. We finish this match with ten men… it’s our mentality that we must change,” also regretted the Italian technician at the end of the meeting, adding: “There were lots of things that I didn’t like, it’s a question of mentality, I’ve been repeating it for several days. We really need to improve this aspect. Football is always difficult to explain. What I see is that we played very well and that things could change because we didn’t do the right thing in terms of mentality. »

These bloody shots from Gennaro Gattuso on the sidelines in any case seem to have amused Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Replaced a few minutes earlier by his coach after having delivered another sparkling performance with a double and an assist, the Gabonese did not hesitate to make fun of his coach by imitating him by taking a black look and a tone threatening under the amused gaze of his teammates Amine Harit and Azzedine Ounahi.
