Despite good intentions displayed by the players and the coach, Olympique de Marseille continues to stall at the start of 2024.

Despite a series of national invincibility that began at the end of last year, OM did not convince in the game. Strasbourg, Friday evening at the Vélodrome stadium (1-1), the observation was quite edifying. Gennaro Gattuso’s players were unable to show dominance, as evidenced by the possession of the ball in favor of the Alsatians (52.8%).

We’re furious… We have to not give up until the end, we can’t concede this kind of goal especially since it’s not the first time it’s happened this season », reacted Samuel Gigot, after this meeting of the 18th day of Ligue 1in front of the cameras of, among others, Téléfoot.

The central defender and captain of OM hopes that he and his teammates will learn quickly. if we want to stay at the top, because we’re wasting points. » The native of Avignon has the impression of repeating the same things, without any positive effect occurring.

For his part, Gennaro Gattuso takes responsibility for the draw against Strasbourg, with this feeling, again, of an air of déjà vu. “ 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 », judged the Italian coach of OM, at a press conference, quoted by RMC Sport.

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 », insisted the 2006 world champion.
