Atalanta-OM: "On s’est fait manger dans l’agressivité", regrette Gasset qui prône "l'union sacrée" pour la fin de saison

Jean-Louis Gasset, entraîneur de l’OM, 17 mars 2024

Si le match nul obtenu au match aller à l’Orange Vélodrome (1-1) où l’OM avait su bousculer l’Atalanta Bergame était porteur d’espoir pour le match retour, les Phocéens n’ont pas su répondre à l’intensité des Italiens au Gewiss Stadium. Surclassés, les coéquipiers de Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ont raté l’occasion de rejoindre le Bayer Leverkusen en finale de la Ligue Europa, avec ce revers 3-0.

Au micro de RMC Sport, l’entraîneur Jean-Louis Gasset a regretté une telle différence de niveau entre l’aller et le retour: “C’est une incompréhension de passer d’une semaine où on a rivalisé avec eux dans l’agressivité et l’envie, puis de s’être fait manger dans l’agressivité ce soir. On a fait 2 ou 3 fautes sur ce match, alors que eux ils étaient très agressifs quand ils n’avaient pas le ballon. Dans l’agressivité, on a été en dessous.” Il faut dire que les Marseillais n’ont jamais vraiment réussi à bousculer l’Atalanta, hormis une barre sur un coup-franc de Veretout.

“Je demande l’union sacrée”

Pourtant, Gasset a tenté le tout pour le tout en faisant entrer des éléments offensifs comme Ismaila Sarr, Faris Moumbagna, Luis Henrique et Joaquin Correa, mais Juan Musso n’a jamais eu à sortir le grand jeu. Malgré la déception, l’ancien sélectionneur de la Côte d’Ivoire ne veut pas oublier le chemin parcouru: “On est déçu car on a rêvé, mais il ne faut pas oublier ce qu’on a fait.”

Eliminé de la Ligue Europa, l’OM qui compte un match en moins en Ligue 1 a maintenant pour objectif de décrocher une place européenne. Pour réaliser cela, le technicien a demandé “l’union sacrée à tout le monde.” “Il est important que Marseille soit en Coupe d’Europe la saison prochaine.” Actuellement 9es, les Phocéens comptent cinq points de retard sur le 6e Lens, et doivent affronter Lorient, Reims et Le Havre. Un calendrier abordable sur le papier.
