A short sentence from OM’s Spanish goalkeeper, Pau Lopez, reinforces the idea that Gennaro Gattuso did it wrong on the Olympian bench.
This time, it’s safe. There is indeed a Jean-Louis Gasset effect at OM. Gennaro Gattuso’s successor won the four matches he managed, in all competitions, including the last on Thursday evening at the Stade Vélodrome against Villarreal (4-0 – 8th first leg of the Europa League).
The French coach put the Marseille club back on track, visibly, with fairly simple, even elementary, principles. “It must also be said, certain players have been returned to their positions,” explains Pau Lopez, the Olympian goalkeeper, in an interview with Provence.
Sarr and Ndiaye, things are better
“If we look at Ismaïla (Sarr), Iliman (Ndiaye) over the last three or four matches, they are completely different, they both have an extraordinary level,” continues the Spanish player. He draws the same observation for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, once again effective in front of the opposing goals.
“I’m happy for them, they had bad times but they worked”, confides Pau Lopez. Words which further overwhelm Gennaro Gattuso and his inability to get the best out of his players even if the absences due to the CAN may have fueled some difficulties.
