At a press conference this Thursday, Gennaro Gattuso returned to Jonathan Clauss’ investment.
L’Olympic Marseille must raise his head. Beaten in Lyon on Sunday, the Phocéens continue to flounder in the soft underbelly of Ligue 1 and have only won one match in 2024 (in the Coupe de France against Thionville). The next few days are likely to be very important for the Ciel et Blanc as they will host Metz on Friday before challenging Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League play-off on Thursday.
Three absent against Metz
But for the match against the Garnets, Gennaro Gattuso will be deprived of three elements, as he indicated at a press conference this Thursday. “I spoke with the doctors. Kondogbia should return to the group from Sunday. Veretout and Murillo from Monday »he said.
Clauss in the viewfinder
The Italian technician then relaunched the Jonathan Clauss file, who has been criticized numerous times in recent weeks for his investment in Marseille. “Matches are not won on the weekend. They are earned during the week in training. Right now, we are not consistent in our daily work. You have to be demanding of yourself. (…) Clauss is an international player, and when you see his performances in training, you can see that he is an international player, but you have to be consistent in your performances. It’s as a team that we can have something click”launched the Marseille coach before issuing a warning.“If I don’t put someone on the bench everyone will ask me why. I’ve already wasted too much time, I’ve done too many calculations. Once is okay. But from the 2nd or 3rd time, you have to send a signal.”
