Author of an incredible miss at the very end of the clash between OM and AS Monaco (1-1), Saturday evening in Ligue 1, Vitinha received a strong message from his coach.
It’s a miss that risks haunting him for some time… All alone in front of the goal in the 90+4th minute of play, Vitinha was unable to push the ball deep and thus offer victory to Olympique de Marseille, finally held by AS Monaco (1-1), Saturday evening for the 19th day of Ligue 1.
Disappointed by this draw, while his team played in numerical superiority for a good part of the match, Gennaro Gattuso was obviously questioned about the failure of his Portuguese striker at a press conference. And the Italian technician did not want to overwhelm him.
“He’s young, it comes through work”
“ Vitinha is a young player. He was sad after the match, Gattuso said. But football is beautiful because every week you have a new chance to do well. When you play football you have to have venom, passion. I think that it is with work that we overcome negative moments. If we are mentally well, we can face them. He has to think about it, he is young, it involves work. »
The most expensive recruit in the history of the Marseille club, Vitinha quickly headed to the locker room after the final whistle. Obviously affected by his huge failure, the former Braga scorer will now have to face competition from Faris Moumbagna, expected in Marseille in the coming hours, after the elimination of Cameroon this Saturday in the round of 16 of the European Cup. Africa of Nations.
