After OM’s draw against Strasbourg on Friday (1-1), Gennaro Gattuso expressed his regrets.

Following the draw conceded by OM against Strasbourg on Friday (1-1) for the 18th day of Ligue 1, Gennaro Gattuso did not want to put the disappointing result of his team down to the many absences which weigh on his group, arguing that he is the main culprit for this poor performance.

As a reminder, between the elements who left for the African Cup of Nations (Chancel Mbemba, Pape Gueye, Amine Harit, Azzedine Ounahi, Iliman Ndiaye, Ismaïla Sarr, etc.) and the injured (Valentin Rongier, Joaquin Correa), the Marseille squad is sparse this January.

Despite a perfect start, with Samuel Gigot opening the score in the 3rd minute, the Phocéens ended up conceding a late equalizer on a strike from young Jérémy Sebas (18 years old), in added time (90+2nd) on Friday evening. ” It’s my fault. Maybe I wasn’t good enough. This is something that has happened before, it’s not the first time and it annoys me. It’s my responsibility, in the first half we defended too much and we paid for it in the 92nd minute and it’s my responsibility to ensure that we progress on that.”, admitted Gennaro Gattuso. After having to battle last weekend to eliminate N3 Thionville in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France (1-0), OM still does not reassure.
