End of this press conference
See you tomorrow for OM-Le Havre, which will kick off at 1pm.
14h34 Gattuso on getting to know his players
“I already know the players, I like to follow the players. Naming just one would be unfair to the others. All the players have surprised me. Leo (Balerdi) and Chancel (Mbemba) had a great match against Brighton, for example. If we continue like this week after week, we have a lot of room for improvement.”
14h32 Gattuso on Harit
“He’s a fantastic player. He can play on the wings and be more free in midfield. He’s very intelligent, a silent leader. He talks, follows, and sees the game. He’s coming back from an injury but brings quality to the team. He can really become a complete player. His love for the game is evident in the way he sees it.”
14h29 Gattuso on the mental aspect
“We work with a lot of intensity, but our focus needs to improve. We’ve managed to take the lead without winning, everyone is working on the mental aspect. If we continue like this, we will achieve good results in the future.”
14h27 Gattuso on his lack of victories
“I would give both my arms to win the match tomorrow. The objective has to be victory, and I hope it comes tomorrow. The players know they will have to fight against a difficult team to play against. It will be crucial for the atmosphere and to approach these two weeks of preparation.”

14h25 Gattuso on players’ repeated injuries
“I don’t think it’s about physical condition. I don’t want the players to think too much about it either. There is room for improvement, they need to be ready for 90-95 minutes, and we need to be very careful in training. Injuries can happen. We have 10-11 important days to train intensely. With the attitude of my players, we can achieve it because they have shown great availability.”
14h21 Gattuso gives an update on his players’ fitness
“There’s nothing we can do about it, we’re not going to cry. We just lost Gigot right before the match, I hope he’ll be back in a week and Veretout in about ten days. We can’t think about all that, a tough match awaits us. It’s a very physical opponent that will come at us. Kondogbia has been training with us for two days, he should be available. Correa didn’t train, we’ll see.”
14h16 Gattuso takes the floor
The Italian coach now arrives for his press conference.
14h16 Harit on the match schedule
“I was a bit shocked, teams that play on Tuesday or Wednesday or don’t have European competition can play at that time. I don’t know who makes the decisions and how. It would be more logical to have us play later. The rest of the players is not of great importance, unlike what concerns television.”

14h15 Harit on recent events
“At Schalke, I had 10 coaches in 3 or 4 years. To say that it didn’t have an impact would be a lie. When you don’t know who will coach you the next day… We managed to show a conquering face. I think it was well managed. Everyone needs to stay in their place and do what they’re asked.”
14h11 Green on Aubameyang
“He’s a great, great player. The stats speak for themselves, I don’t think he struggled at all. He wasn’t served much, we also struggled, he needs support, the team’s contribution. When he gets a lot of that, there’s no doubt he’ll score.”
14h09 Harit on physical preparation
“Our season started very early with the Champions League qualifiers. The preparation wasn’t normal, but it doesn’t question the work of the previous staff. We lacked freshness, but we’re getting back to a good physical level. With time, we’ll see if the work done is good. I feel good, better and better, it showed in the last matches. I don’t set specific goals. In the Amsterdam and Brighton matches, I was very, very close to being very, very good.”
14h06 Harit on Gattuso
“He’s someone who brings a lot of positivity, with Sampaoli we were used to this energy. He came with his past, he brings a lot of good things. The work paid off in the last match. He sends important signals to a group, he thrives on affection, with little things that make a group function well. Since he arrived, there’s something new, it’s a good omen for the future.”
14h03 Harit on injuries in the squad
“We have a fairly wide squad, Kondogbia is back. It’s a shame to have lost Jordan, but I think we have a quality squad and the right players for it.”
14h02 Harit on his fitness
“It was more fear than anything else. I was really scared at the time. There won’t be a problem for tomorrow.”
13h59 Start of the press conference
Amine Harit takes the floor to speak to the journalists.
11h35 OM translator speaks out against sexist comments
Translator for several football clubs, including OM, French-Mexican Alessia Hughes Enriquez spoke out on her Instagram story against sexist comments she received on social media. “Not resentful towards the people of Marseille. For those who still think that complimenting a girl on her looks necessarily involves vulgarity, there is still a long way to go! Thanks to those who denounced these behaviors live, it’s the respectful attitude that I hope to instill in my son as he grows up,” she wrote.
