Two days before his team travels to the field of Olympique Lyonnais as part of the 20th day of Ligue 1, Gennaro Gattuso did not escape a question on the delicate Jonathan Clauss issue.
After two consecutive draws at the Vélodrome in the league once morest Strasbourg (1-1) and AS Monaco (2-2) since the restart, OM hope to return to victory on Sunday evening at Groupama Stadium. The task does not look easy once morest a Lyon team with revenge compared to the first leg (3-0 victory for Marseillais), played in a very particular context following a postponement following the serious incidents of October 29. As a reminder, the buses of OL players and supporters had been violently stoned by pseudo-OM supporters near the venue.
Gattuso: “Clauss knows what I think, he is the one who has played the most. I cannot doubt what he tells me but what is important is to be demanding of yourself. He stayed, he is here. Today is a new day.”

Gattuso expects a lot more from Clauss
Before this meeting, always eagerly awaited by supporters of both camps, Gennaro Gattuso was questioned regarding the rumors surrounding Jonathan Clauss. In the home stretch of the transfer window, management would have tried to sell the French international due to his supposed lack of involvement in recent weeks. “It is very simple. I believe in the good faith of the player. I’ve spoken a lot with Jonathan since I arrived. He knows what I think of him. In the end, he stayed and he is here with us. We have to focus on the future. If he deserves to play, he will play, I know he has the level to do it. He knows what I expect from him”said the OM coach to the media.
Relaunched on the file of his side, the Italian wanted to play down the situation. “It’s not a question of professionalism, it’s more the requirement that we must have towards ourselves, the supporters, the club. I can’t say that there is a lack of commitment from my players. If I saw him, I would be uncompromising on this. Sometimes it happens that there is a player who trains less well one day but that does not call into question the professionalism of my players”he insisted.
