Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, OM striker, explained how Jean-Louis Gasset managed to revive the Phocaeans.
After eight matches without the slightest victory, OM managed to recover on Thursday evening. In the second leg of the Europa League, the Phocaeans got the better of Shakhtar Donetsk (3-1). A start which coincides with the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset on the team bench.
So, can we talk about the Gasset effect? Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the scorer of this team, is convinced yes. “The coach asks us to play simpler. We needed to simplify the game against Shakhtar. We were often in the opposing side of the field in this match.”
Aubameyang praises Gasset’s calm
Aubame also specified that Gasset’s experience is a great contribution to the team: “Gasset has a lot of experience. Perhaps he has the key words to reassure us. He experienced complicated situations. This brings serenity and calm. »
The Gabonese spoke well of his new coach during the press briefing preceding the opposition against Montpellier, but he did not forget the Olympian public either. “I said to my teammates, ‘Did you see? They don’t whistle at us.” It was a sign to see that the supporters didn’t give up on us. You have to take advantage of that. This is the strength of Marseille. You really have to realize this. »
Sunday evening, the Marseillais return to the Vélodrome, this time with the hope of winning their first championship match there in 2024. At home, they have still not lost this season, but they also have three draws consecutive.
