Gennaro Gattuso, the OM coach, admitted that he was powerless in the face of the shortcomings currently displayed by his team.
In difficulty on the domestic scene, OM almost got a breath of fresh air this Thursday by falling to Shakhtar Donetsk on their home turf in the Europa League. But, while they led twice, the Olympians were caught each time and conceded a draw. A frustrating result for which Gennaro Gattuso took responsibility.
At the end of the match, the Italian technician admitted that he had not “not the key” to reverse the negative spiral. He also confided “not knowing how to coach this type of team”. A surprising confession to say the least and which has already sparked a lot of reaction among supporters.
“It feels a bit like a defeat tonight. You have to be objective. When we offer this type of service and we suffer this outcome,” he added at a press conference regarding the evening’s poor performance.
Gattuso says he is “pissed”
Gattuso then said that he felt a lot of frustration regarding the scenario he experienced: “It was a great opportunity to win and tonight we’re going to go home still angry because we still haven’t won. Tonight it’s very frustrating and it’s difficult to smile after this draw. »
With the draw against Shakhtar, Marseille are now 6 matches in a row without the slightest success. In 2024, its only victory was recorded against the amateurs of Thionville in the Coupe de France. Next Sunday, against Brest, immense pressure will weigh on the shoulders of the Phocaeans.
