The former French international, Emmanuel Petit, is not sure that Jean-Louis Gasset can relaunch the Olympian ship.
Jean-Louis Gasset has started his adventure at the head of OM very well. He won his first two matches and the team regained momentum and confidence. This is promising for the future, but there are some who are not yet sure that he is the man for the job.
Among the skeptics, we could cite Emmanuel Petit. Anyone who has hated the Olympian club since the beginning of the 90s believes that the septuagenarian technician will inevitably break his teeth at the Vélodrome.
Petit waits until mid-March to judge OM Gasset
“When a coach arrives during the season, there is always a positive dynamic that builds over the two weeks that follow. You always have a change in mentality, a change in behavior, players who play much better… I’m waiting to see what will happen from mid-March. Because there the deadlines will be very important in the European Cup but also in the championship. There they are going to play big”declared the 98 world champion.
Petit then indicated that the Marseillais are too limited athletically to hope to finish their exercise well: “As far as my memory allows me, in the first part of the season with the sequence of matches every three days, they were physically burned out, they did not arrive after an hour of play. No, I say today, I’m not going to burst into flames. I’m not particularly convinced that OM can grab a place in the European Cup.”
