OM lost in Rennes this Sunday as part of the 26th day of Ligue 1. Jean-Louis Gasset takes stock at the time of the international break.

If the new coach of the Olympians was able to string together five consecutive victories for his debut in Marseille, it is two defeats in a row that the Phocaeans have just recorded. Beaten on Thursday on the Villarreal pitch in the round of 16 second leg of the Europa League (3-1), the Clauss and others lost again today in the championship, defeated by Stade Rennais in Brittany (2-0).

We just spent 25 days together, I did a little assessment. We would have liked to continue this positive dynamic, but unfortunately, we lacked a little fuel and oxygensaid Jean-Louis Gasset, afterwards, at a press conference. We took 9 points out of 12 in the league and qualified for the quarter-finals of the European Cup. Thanks to them, to the 15 able-bodied players who were there and who gave everything. »

“We are capable of great things”

The Marseille technician admits: the international parenthesis comes at just the right time. “ There are people in the locker room who deserve the days off. We will recover and we will do the final sprint, the money time, as best as possible in the same state of mind as in this sequence.he whispers. We are four points from where we could be. We patched things up a bit, we would have liked to patch things up a bit more this evening… »

And to conclude: “ There are eight matches left, so when we have recovered, we will play the eight matches fully and we will do the accounts afterwards. And we have at least two matches left in the European Cup, with a lot of hope. Because we host the second match and we saw it against Villarreal, when we play in front of our supporters, we are capable of doing great things. So they have to continue to trust us, even if they are disappointed, but we will give our best. »
