The OM coach confirmed that Jonathan Clauss has not always shown foolproof involvement.
Dissatisfied with his behavior considered too dilettante and his recent performances, the leaders of Olympique de Marseille tried to sell Jonathan Clauss in the last days of the winter transfer window. In vain.
At a press conference, on the eve of the reception of FC Metz, Gennaro Gattuso suspected that he would be questioned about this thorny subject. “I anticipate the question about Clauss. Matches are not won on weekends. They are earned during the week in training. At the moment, we are not consistent in our daily work. You have to be demanding of yourself. It is from there that we will be able to move away from this difficult period. It’s not by thinking individually”declared the 46-year-old Italian technician.
“We had discussions”
“We have our strengths, our weaknesses, but we have to rely on our heads, our mentality. We had discussions between us. 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,” recalls the former rough midfielder, thus confirming the lack of involvement of the former Lensois during the last weeks of 2023.
Last Sunday, Jonathan Clauss started the match against Olympique Lyonnais on the sidelines. Will it be the same this evening, at the Stade Vélodrome, against the Grenats?
