OM: Gattuso changes everything, a player is in danger

Until then in tough conditions, OM found momentum when Gennaro Gattuso decided to temporarily swap his usual 4-3-3 for a 3-5-2. If the majority of his Marseille players have regained color, Jonathan Clauss has shown some signs of feverishness. Enough to jeopardize his place in the French team for the Euro in Germany this summer?
Gennaro Gattuso Did he find the right recipe? While OM had shown numerous shortcomings until now, the Italian technician decided to review his plans during his team’s big victory againstOL (3-0) at the start of the month, introducing a new system: 3-5-2. And it is clear that the choice paid off, since the Marseille club has had a string of good results, returning to European places in particular.
A choice validated by a large part of the locker room
“It’s true that this change in system has done us good. Afterwards, I think it was especially the match against Lyon, where we showed a lot of intensity, it freed us. We also see that we are able to score more goals. With confidence it comes into play. I think it’s mainly in terms of intensity, we raised the cursor, we manage to press the teams well, put a lot of commitment. For opposing teams, it’s complicated to play against us,” he recently confided. Samuel Gigot at the microphone of Prime Video. If several players showed themselves to their advantage, others did not necessarily have the expected performance, like Jonathan Clauss.
Clauss in tough, his place in the French team threatened?
Although he was always as decisive offensively, the former Lensois often showed a lack of solidity on the defensive level. While the Euro is fast approaching, Jonathan Clauss could see his legitimacy in the French team called into question if Gattuso persists with this pattern during this second part of the season. Especially since competition can be tough with the emergence of Sacha Boeywhich is currently working wonders at Galatasaray.
