At the microphone of RMC Sport this Wednesday, on the eve of a trip to Brighton in the Europa League, Gennaro Gattuso returned to his outburst which occurred on Sunday despite OM’s victory (4-2) against Lorient. The Italian coach considers himself “very demanding”.
Despite OM’s victory (4-2) on Sunday in Lorient, Gennaro Gattuso did not hide his anger. The coach of the Marseille club complained about his team’s slackening in the second half. In an interview with RMC Sport this Wednesday, on the eve of a match on the Brighton pitch in the Europa League, the Italian returned to his frustration.
“I wasn’t nervous about the game system, not at all,” commented Gennaro Gattuso on RMC Sport. “And some say it’s a personality problem… No, it’s a question of mentality! You have to respect the game, football is serious!”
Thanks to this result, OM signed their third success in a row in Ligue 1, also the fourth in a row in all competitions. “Everyone is going to get excited because we won 4-2 and because it’s the first time we’ve won away… But I remember that we were leading 3-0 and five players were looking at the ground at the time of the first goal conceded”, blasted Gattuso.
Gattuso doesn’t want to be ‘hypocritical’
OM scored the third goal in the 33rd minute through Leonardo Balerdi but Romain Faivre (41st) reduced the gap before the fourth goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (42nd). “We cannot lose five players in one action, we must always improve and work, stay focused. I have a duty to say it,” said Gattuso, returning to the attitude of some of his players on 3-1.
“I am very happy inside when we win but I am not stupid, I am not going to act false or hypocritical,” concluded the 2006 world champion. “I am very demanding because I am I’m sure this team can improve this aspect enormously.”
This Thursday, the Phocaeans will manage to retain first place in their Europa League group, synonymous with qualification for the round of 16, if they take at least one point against Brighton. Sunday (5:05 p.m.), OM will return to the Vélodrome with the reception of Clermont in Ligue 1.
