At a press conference this Friday, Gennaro Gattuso spoke about the OM transfer window and the numerous absences due to the CAN.
Sunday evening, the clash of the round of 16 of the Coupe de France will take place between the Rennais Stadium and theOlympic Marseilletwo clubs not in the best form in Ligue 1 and who hope to have a good run in the Cup to thrill during this 2023-2024 season.
Blanco will start
Present at a press conference this Friday, Gennaro Gattuso returned to the frustrating draw against Strasbourg (1-1) and wants his team to react at Roazhon Park. “After Strasbourg, there was a lot of bitterness. It was annoying not to be able to win. I really want us to reach a conclusion against Rennes. There was a slight drop in energy and mood at the start of the week but the group recovered”confided the Italian coach before announcing that Ruben Blanco will keep the Olympian goals. “Ruben Blanco will play because he is a good person, a 360-degree athlete, who knows how to be appreciated on and off the field. »
As for the Marseille transfer window, which saw the arrival of Jean Onana and Uliesses Garcia (Faris Moumbagna will also arrive), Gattuso does not want to overload his squad and expects his players to make even more effort. “Find a replacement for Harit? I am not changing my mind, if there is no departure, there cannot be an arrival, there are rules to respect in the transfer window. You have to think that there will be 7 midfielders after the CAN. Even if I wanted to take someone, they wouldn’t let me. I didn’t cry because I was missing several quality players. Everyone has to do a little more for the team”he indicated.
