The induction of Gennaro Gattuso as OM coach has not changed the club’s roadmap. Quite the contrary…
Despite its 8th place in Ligue 1 and a humiliating defeat (0-4) in a Classic ending a week of crisis, Olympique de Marseille intends to turn things around very quickly. This is the message that Gennaro Gattuso wanted to convey at a press conference this Thursday, during his official presentation alongside President Pablo Longoria.
“The watchword is Europe for this club, launched the Italian technician. I have a contract extension linked to a European qualification so I want to be in the four, otherwise I’m going home. But, apart from that, you have to concentrate match after match. Even if there are very high level opponents, you have to rely on this idea of enthusiasm. »
Strong words which will not leave supporters indifferent in the current context, especially since Gattuso has also moved forward on his game project, announcing an offensive philosophy. “ I don’t like talking about my predecessors but I’m not a fan of the 4-4-2 system. I want to try to play higher, take a little more risks, play on passing, possession and one-on-ones. Marcelino did a good job and we have to respect him but for me it’s different. » Gattuso did not hide. The tone is set.
