The new draw conceded by Olympique de Marseille against Metz (1-1) only confirmed the weaknesses of Ciel et Blanc, according to Christophe Dugarry.
Olympique de Marseille can no longer do it. Still looking for their first victory in Ligue 1 in 2024, OM had to settle for another draw at the Vélodrome, this time against Metz (1-1). A culpable poor performance which has put the Marseille club in eighth place in the Ligue 1 standings, now five points behind fifth place, qualifying for Europe.
This new failure, certainly marked by the exclusion of Samuel Gigot after half an hour of play, notably highlighted the technical shortcomings of the Phocaeans, causing the consternation of Gennaro Gattuso. “I see limited players. 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 »he lamented at the microphone of RMC, Monday, in the show Rothen s’igne.
Attackers with “crooked feet”
“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. I try to put myself in the place of the coach and the managers, a football contract is not just a financial commitment, it is also a moral commitment, he added. It’s about working, progressing. However, I don’t see them progressing. They are not at the expected level for which they were recruited and for which they themselves sold themselves. »
And the former Bordeaux player continues by pointing the finger at OM attackers “with crooked feet” And “unable to frame a shot”. With 29 goals, Marseille is still in fifth place in the attack rankings.
