“When we are down 1-0, we have some problems… But when I saw the reaction of the public and the team, I said to myself that we were going to do it, Gasset first declared after the success of his team (3-1). I don’t think there is a Gasset effect, simply an awareness. The words weighed, not the work, with only 48 hours. We did a little video, we looked for the system where they felt best,” he explained.
“It was mainly a story of state of mind and confidence. Each player had to do a little more and get back to basics. For 48 hours, I tried to be positive and simple with my words, to relax them, added Gasset, appointed Tuesday to replace Gennaro Gattuso. In the locker room, I only said that it was a first step. There are 12 L1 matches and X European Cup matches remaining. But technically, there is still a lot of work,” he said.
Gasset finally greeted the public at the Vélodrome, “magnificent” according to him. “I came here often and dreamed of this atmosphere and this communion. They didn’t let us go after the penalty we conceded. The players felt it and something happened,” he summarized.
