Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shares Leonardo Balerdi’s frustration and criticizes OM’s performance against Lyon.
This Sunday, Olympique de Marseille experienced a great disappointment. Beaten 1-0 in Lyon on the 20th day of Ligue 1, Gennaro Gattuso’s men, including Leonardo Balerdi, expressed their frustration after the match, emphasizing the need to perform better.
“We needed to win and we took zero points,” said the Argentine defender. We can’t do that. We have to give more, it’s not possible. I think we played, but then we also need verticality, we have to be more aggressive. »
“It wasn’t enough”
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, also disappointed, described his team’s performance as “largely insufficient”. “There is a lot of disappointment this evening,” said the Gabonese international on Prime Video. Not everything was bad but we lacked determination on both surfaces and especially up front. We have to do more, whether in the last pass or in the last gesture. »
The former Gunner also pointed out the lack of verticality and inspiration of his team. “In the first half, we lacked verticality, playing behind them or simply dribbling on the sides. At the start of the second period too. In the end it was a little better but it wasn’t enough,” he added.
With this defeat, OM finds itself in 8th place in the ranking, 6 points from 4th qualifying place for the Champions League. The situation is worrying for the Ciel et Blanc who will have to re-mobilize quickly to hope to secure a European place at the end of the season.
