“It’s part of football”, Marseille did not sink Vitinha after his big failure

If OM striker Vitinha performed very poorly against Monaco (2-2) at the Velodrome stadium on Saturday evening, in particular, missed a huge last second, his coach, Gennaro Gattuso and his teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang did not push him forward after the meeting. wants to

You don’t shoot at an ambulance… Vitinha undoubtedly had his worst evening since his arrival at the Olympique de Marseille against Monaco (2-2) on Saturday at the Velodrome stadium. Never in the game, the author of numerous errors at the technical level, did he emphasize the ASM defense. More worryingly, he was not only decisive but was out with a huge miss at the last second. Facing an empty net alone, the former Braga player achieved the “feat” of not converting the chance into solid gold that would have robbed OM of a precious victory. “It’s part of football,” defended his coach Gennaro Gattuso after the match. “We can’t say anything, it’s like when you miss a penalty, it happens. He was very sad in the locker room.”

Aubameyang: “I can also tell you about the stupidity I did on the second goal we scored”

Also disappointed for the former Braga player, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, author of the first Olympian goal, defended his partner and took responsibility for the second goal conceded by Marseille. He is the one who lost the ball on the counter concluded by Akliuche: “I’m not going to hide it from you, I saw it too, it’s clear. I haven’t seen the action again but it happens. I can too. The 2nd goal we Let me tell you about the stupidest thing I do on the take. I think I have to complete the action, be the cross, be the shot. It’s a lot of small details. It’s not just the last action because if we don’t do another. Even if we don’t score, we will win 2-1.

Gattuso’s advice to Vintinha

We all have negative moments in our careers. That is his case, but he has everything to rebuild himself, which can only come through work”, the Italian advances. The next meeting for OM and Vitinha, in a week against Lyon at the Grupma Stadium.
