Gattuso surprised by the level of Ligue 1

Bitter after the defeat conceded by Olympique de Marseille in Lens on Sunday, Gennaro Gattuso considers that Ligue 1 is underrated.

Another complicated Sunday for OM. Traveling to Lens for the closing clash of the 12e day of Ligue 1, the Ciel et Blanc lost 1-0 at Bollaert, surprised by a goal from Jonathan Gradit from a corner in the final moments of the match.

Questioned after the meeting, Gennaro Gattuso did not hide his bitterness. “It was a pretty tough, intense match, with a team that played hard on man. We made too many mistakes, I expected much better from my team. I’m not satisfied with this match »he confided to Prime Video.

And for the Italian technician, the difference was made on a physical level. “ It’s the level of Ligue 1, a more difficult championship than people sayhe assured. I don’t think the players didn’t understand (the tactic). We saw a team that crosses a lot, and we were perhaps a little inferior on a physical level. »
