OM, 12th in Ligue 1, is having a complicated few weeks, on the pitch but also – and above all? – behind the scenes.
While Pablo Longoria almost left Marseille recently, after a very tense meeting with the supporters’ representatives, it was ultimately the Spaniard Marcelino who left the bench of the Marseille club. Replaced by Gennaro Gattuso, the Italian got off to a bad start to his career with OM, with a defeat against AS Monaco (2-3). And this Thursday, it is the English club Brighton, coached by Roberto De Zerbi, which presents itself at the Vélodrome stadium.
Not enough to be reassured, in the midst of a mini-crisis, when Daniel Riolo pointed the finger at the person responsible for this global fiasco.
“It’s a construction site”
On RMCthe journalist quickly cleared the new OM coach of any responsibility: “It’s a construction site, and (Gennaro) Gattuso, honestly, we can’t hold him responsible for anything”. What about the players? “Afterwards, we changed the team this summer to give it to a coach who had a fairly precise idea, who is already no longer there and change everything again… I don’t see how the players can’t not can’t be upside down, can’t be in a loss of confidence and the person responsible for this mess is still the president, he’s the one who put the club in this situation”.
“Pablo Longoria’s summer is not good”
Daniel Riolo clarified his opinion regarding the degree of responsibility for Pablo Longoria’s crisis: “As we have often said, as long as it works, this method which is astonishing to say the least, of changing the coach and the players so often, we put our astonishment in our pocket. But when we see that it leads to a mess like that, with players completely lost and a new coach who is already bordering on hyper tension because he realizes that he is going to have a lot of work”.
In short, “Pablo Longoria’s summer is not good with this choice of coach he made”. For the Spaniard to be spared, Gennaro Gattuso must now “find the right formula and straighten this OM”. The supporters are just waiting for that.
