Gennaro Gattuso and Pablo Longoria are regularly considered to be the main culprits for OM’s sad season. Christophe Dugarry prefers to target players.
Last Friday, Olympique de Marseille could not do better than a poor draw (1-1), at home against FC Metz, during the 21st day of Ligue 1. Stuck in eighth place in the championship, the Marseille club is now far from the podium, eight points behind AS Monaco.
According to Christophe Dugarry, the main culprits for the mediocre Marseille season are the players. “They are limited. This match against Metz only confirmed what I thought from the start. The players are distressingly clumsy. It’s not Gennaro Gattuso’s fault, not even Pablo Longoria’s, they are professional players with big salaries. The players are not up to par »estimated the sports consultant, Monday evening, on the airwaves of RMC.
“They are not at the expected level”
The 1998 world champion considers that most OM players are paid far too much given their real level of play. “It’s all well and good to make statements at the start of the season. You don’t have to be strong except in the office with your agent who asks for sorrel. They are not at the expected level for which they were recruited and for which they themselves sold themselves,” continues the former striker, who played for the Olympian club between 1998 and 2000.
Thursday, at 6:45 p.m., OM will try to brighten up their sad season a little, by traveling to Shakhtar Donetsk. This first leg of the Europa League play-offs will be played in Hamburg.
