Olympique de Marseille was hot! The Olympian club qualified painfully this Thursday evening for the quarter-finals of the Europa League against Villarreal (5-3 aggregate score). Jean-Louis Gasset’s men did not show their best face against the Spaniards.
The yellow submarine almost succeeded in this round of 16 second leg, thanks in particular to a great Etienne Capoue who scored the first goal of the match for Marcelino’s men.
After the match, the former French international returned to the match and did not hesitate to warn the Marseille club for the rest of the competition. For him, it will be complicated for Marseille to go further in the tournament.
“ It’s going to be complicated for them, there are big teams. If Marseille plays like today, it will be complicated. I hope they will play matches like they did in the first leg. Maybe they will be title contenders,” he declared on the microphone of RMC Sport.
Gasset positive despite defeat
Jean-Louis Gasset changed the face of Olympique de Marseille, despite his team’s defeat in this round of 16 second leg. Since his arrival at the club, the French coach has relaunched the Marseille club. His record is more than positive with 5 victories in 6 matches in all competitions.
“ I am a positive person, when I arrived, theOM played in a tense atmosphere. We went through 2 rounds of the European Cup and we won our three L1 matches,” he said.
