Gattuso: “I worry, we have to find solutions on a spiritual level”
Marseille’s defeat against Lance was the fourth in a row in the league away from the Velodrome and Gennaro Gattuso did not hide his concern as he urged his team to find solutions on a mental level.
Marseille have won 2 of 2 against AEK in the Europa League group stage in 15 days, giving them the advantage to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition, but things are not going well for them at home.
On Sunday evening they left the French north with their heads down, losing 1-0 to Lens thanks to a goal from Grandit in the 90th minute. Olympique have now suffered a four-game away defeat in Ligue 1 which has left them in 10th place. Gennaro Gattuso is asking his players to turn the situation around.
“There is no fair or unfair defeat. We used a lot of energy and the game was decided by strength. We suffered both physically and technically.”
If you asked me the exact result of this game, I would say that the game against Lance was a draw.“Ringio” explained first and added:
“I don’t like to talk about defeat because the word defeat is a term for the weak. We should try harder to win points.”
Yes, I’m a little worried. We should work every day to find solutions, including on a spiritual level.”
