What if the good momentum in which OM finds itself, since Jean-Louis Gasset took his place on the bench, was just window dressing?
Since Jean-Louis Gasset became the coach of Olympique de Marseille, replacing Gennaro Gattuso, the Marseille club is doing significantly better. Some observers even believe that he has emerged from the crisis. This is not the case for Emmanuel Petit, who refuses to give in to any kind of enthusiasm.
“When a coach arrives during the season, there is always a positive dynamic that sets in over the two weeks that followrecalls the sports consultant on the airwaves of RMC. You always have a change in mentality, a change in behavior, players who play much better… I’m waiting to see what will happen from mid-March. Because the deadlines will be very important in the European Cup but also in the championship. There, they will play big. »
European places out of reach?
The 1998 world champion imagines that OM can easily fall back into their mistakes. “In the first part of the season, with the series of matches every three days, they were physically burned out. They couldn’t play anymore after an hour of play. Today, I’m not going to get excited. I’m not particularly convinced that OM can grab a place in the European Cup.”continues the former midfielder of the France team.
Since the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset, OM have passed the Europa League barrier and moved closer to the European places, coming back to five points from fifth place occupied by Lille. On Saturday, the Marseille club will try to maintain its good momentum by going to the Clermont pitch for the 24th day of Ligue 1.
