After having bet everything on the 4-4-2 desired by Marcelino, OM are preparing to radically change course with Gennaro Gattuso.

All that for that… Marcelino chosen this summer to succeed Igor Tudor, OM had bet everything on the 4-4-2 system to define its transfer window, in the profile of its recruits and the players who suddenly became unwanted. However, Gennaro Gattuso, recently appointed to the Marseille bench by Pablo Longoria, is a fan of the 4-3-3.

He will see if he will have a very strong group. He will impose his 4-3-3, even against strong teamsunderlines on RMC Lionel Charbonnier, who knows the 45-year-old Italian well having worked with him among the Glasgow Rangers at the end of the 90s. On the other hand, at a given moment, if he thinks that he has a squad that will be much weaker against this or that team, he will also be able to come out with something new, but which will be worked on. He knows all the game systems, knowing the pros and cons of each system each time. He’s a complete guy. He will be there to win. »

He will not deviate from his identity and his valuesinsists the former emblematic AJA goalkeeper. He is very demanding of himself, as he will also be of his players. He has a very strong tactical culture and philosophy. If he has a strong squad, he will be able to impose his game with the strengths and weaknesses of his team. He will structure his team. I am very, very confident. He’s a guy I trust a lot and who is very intelligent. »
