The Olympique de Marseille coach made some rather surprising comments at a press conference.
Promoted to the bench of Olympique de Marseille during the season to succeed Marcelino, Gennaro Gattuso has made his mark within the Marseille club. If the Italian technician is not unanimous, his culture of the very high level no longer needs to be demonstrated. Including in his second life as a coach, since Gattuso officiated at AC Milan or Napoli, two of the biggest European teams.
Called to compare Olympique de Marseille with the legendary Lombard club, Gattuso believes that the pressure is greater in the environment of the French club. “I think there is more pressure in Marseille than in Milan. I played there for 12 years, I coached there, I know the place well, it’s a huge club with a lot of supporters around the world, you feel the pressure but I feel it more here, even if it is positive for me. »It did not take much longer to see the supporters of both clubs react after this declaration. If fans of Olympique de Marseille seem flattered by this uniqueness of their club, AC Milan fans hardly appreciated the words of this former face of the club.
