Barely arrived on the bench, Jean-Louis Gasset has already changed many things at OM.
Appointed coach of OM in disaster at the start of the week, Jean-Louis Gasset allowed the Marseillais to return to winning ways, Thursday evening in the Europa League, after seven matches without success (3-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the play-off back). A real breath of fresh air for the Olympians who have been mired in disaster for almost two months.
Crippled by tensions, this OM was able to gain serenity in record time with the experienced Hérault coach; the latter having quickly closed the Clauss case which had been inflaming the debates for several weeks, while settling the Gueye case this Saturday. Another thorn in the Marseille crampons this season.
“Pope Gueye will be in the group tomorrow”
The Senegalese international, at the end of his contract without having responded to extension offers from Pablo Longoria, was to be promised to the loft until the end of the season. Only Jean-Louis Gasset decided otherwise. “ Clauss is suspended. We recover Balerdi who was suspended in the European Cup, Garcia and Onana who were not qualifiedsummarizes the former Ivorian coach, reviewing his troops. And we get Pape Gueye back who is done with his injury and who has been back with us for 48 hours. »
Beyond this presumed injury, it is above all the presidential lock which was lifted to allow the midfielder to make his comeback in the Olympian group. “ I spoke about it with management, I said: “If you ask me to fulfill a mission, I would like to have all the assets”breathes Gasset. Pape Gueye is a player that I really like. Everything that happened yesterday is not my problem and everyone agreed. So Pape Gueye will be in the group tomorrow. »
