Gasset, Nasri's strong words

While the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset at OM struggles to convince, Samir Nasri on the contrary understands the choice of the Olympian leaders.

A fourth different coach will be on the Olympique de Marseille bench on Thursday for the Europa League return match between OM and Shakhtar Donetsk.

After Marcelino, Pancho Abardonado and Gennaro Gattuso, this time it is Jean-Louis Gasset who will officiate. The former Bordeaux coach was indeed called to the rescue by the Marseille leaders to end the season. A choice greeted with skepticism in Marseille.

However, for Samir Nasri, the arrival of Laurent Blanc’s former deputy had to do the trick. “It’s been 8 games since OM hasn’t won. They said to themselves that the change of coach would create an electric shock. They chose Jean-Louis Gasset, who for me is the right person to wake up the players a little. This is not a problem of staff or quality. It’s more of a mental problem. Jean-Louis Gasset can do the stitching »he said on the set of the Canal Champions Club.
