Harit absent from training
OM are training at the Commanderie at the start of the evening on the eve of the match in Montpellier this Wednesday. Beyond the two main injured players in the squad (Rongier, convalescence period after knee surgery and Correa, injured in the ankle), two other absentees should be noted.
Renan Lodi is not on the pitch, he is suspended for the match at Mosson and has already flown to Brazil to spend the end of year holidays with his family.
Amine Harit is also not with his teammates at the start of training. The reason for his absence is not yet known but this leaves doubt over his participation in tomorrow’s match.

Thank you all for following it.
17:23
Gigot in Montpellier
“They’ve had a lot of good teams at home. They’ll be motivated to be able to beat us at home in the last match. It’s going to be a big battle.”
17:22
Gigot on Gattuso’s anger
“I love his grinta, he gives us the rage, the desire to fight and give everything for him. It all depends on the players, but it’s up to us to adapt.”
17:21
Gigot on the behavior of parents on the sidelines
“My dad always stayed in his corner, so much the better for me. Football must remain a pleasure for children. We must not make their heads rise too much by making them believe that they are the future Mbappé. Let them “have fun and enjoy themselves. It’s a shame to have these attitudes as parents. I hope parents realize this.”
17:21
Leg on loss of concentration before Christmas
“The coach is right to warn us about Christmas. We shouldn’t think about the holidays, we have a very important match tomorrow. We have to stay focused. We will think about the holidays and the presents later.”
17:18
Gigot on his “warrior” style
“I have trouble talking about myself, I don’t really like it. I try to give the best of myself. I’ve had some physical problems but that’s part of the job. I was raised as a that, always giving everything until the end”
17:17
Leg on Gattuso
“We know what a fantastic playing career he had. It’s a pleasure and an honor to be coached by a coach like that, we’re happy to have him with us.”
17:16
Gigot on the drops in speed in the second period
“We had a lot of problems in the second half. It’s more a question of mentality, we have difficulty getting back into it, we drop in intensity. In the second half, the teams adapt to us too and it’s hard to answer. What I want to remember is that we managed to win these matches.”
17:15
Gigot on the beautiful dynamic
“It’s always better to win matches, but we know that things are going very quickly in this ranking. We’re happy but we have to stay with our feet on the Earth and have a full match tomorrow.”
17:15
Gigot on the pass to three defenders
“It’s not so much a question of the system, it’s more the animation and the intensity that we put on the pitch. The match against Lyon did us good in our heads. It’s a system that ‘we know it well now.’
17:14
Gigot on his shared adventure with Savanier in Avignon
“He’s a good friend. We played together when we were very young at Arles-Avignon. At the time, we took free kicks together, at least I tried (smile). He’s a great boy. We were talking about it last year at the Vélodrome, we said that we played together before and that we were now playing in front of the Vélodrome.”
17:12
Gigot on his physical state
“I feel very good. The season started early for us. I had a little problem in October but it’s okay now. We are focused on the last match of the year tomorrow.”
17:11
Samuel Gigot has arrived
Let’s go for the Olympian defender’s press conference.
17:08
This is the end of this press conference
Now for Samuel Gigot.
17:08
Gattuso on Gigot
“When I arrived, there were five captains. Afterwards, it was Rongier. Pau Lopez wore the armband for a few matches because he is the oldest at the club, but I don’t like the captain to be the goalkeeper. Gigot, I really appreciate him for his spirit, his professionalism, his charisma. I am very happy with this captain. He talks a lot on the pitch, he has a powerful voice. Our five captains are very nice guys, very good educated. Right now, I like Gigot for his warrior mentality.”
17:03
Gattuso on his way of preparing for matches when he was a player
“If I think about that period, I get a headache. I was crazy, I was fixated, I thought a lot about sleep, I slept 10 to 12 hours a day. I was very anxious about the details. C That’s how I was able to play more than 700 professional matches. I gave a lot.”
17:01
Gattuso relaunched in the winter transfer window
“I’m not here to talk about the transfer window. Pablo Longoria will speak about it on Thursday. If players arrive, it’s important that they have the ability to help the squad. They know my requests.”
16:59
Gattuso on the annoyances of Aubameyang and Veretout during their outing against Clermont
“That’s your impression. It’s normal that they are not happy when there is a change. After the match, I don’t think they were angry. I hugged them. They were happy, they celebrated the victory. They were no longer angry about it.”
16:56
Gattuso on his talks
“You can’t copy others (coaches). I say what I feel, what I feel emotionally. We talk about the game and the match during the chat, I’m a spontaneous person, I don’t I don’t like to prepare things. It comes from the heart, from my soul. I’m a very instinctive person. As for the rest, I’m not supersitious, even if I’m Italian.”
16:53
What does Gattuso ask “Santa Longoria”?
Gattuso: “The president is already aware of the situation. It will be Stéphane (Tessier) or Medhi (Benatia) to speak. They know what we said between us. I think that Pablon Longira will organize a press conference on Thursday to talk about our possibilities.”
16:51
Gattuso’s warning to his players before Christmas
“Shakhtar Donetsk? We will have time to answer this question. I can answer you about tomorrow’s match against Montpellier, a team strong on transitions, who are scary on counter-attacks. It’s up to us to be careful. I tell the players not to think about vacations, not to think about dad, mom, grandpa, grandma, because if we do that, we’re going to concede a lot of goals. In the first years of my career, it was disastrous for me from December 15. My wife talked to me a lot about it. I spent a lot of energy thinking about Christmas presents, family, all that.”
16:46
Gattuso on the physical state of his group
“We have access to very important data. There is a drop in the second periods of matches. We can consider that it is physical, but I can assure you that we run a lot more than in the second half. We lost very few elements due to muscular problems compared to other teams. It’s true that we have to be careful, but I think we are doing the maximum we can. All that remains is that the last match, we will grit our teeth and the players will then be able to rest.”
16:40
Gattuso takes stock since his arrival
“I’m quite happy, the results have been positive lately. Our performances dropped in the second half, we suffer because we lack continuity, consistency. We must not underestimate the start of the season, when we arrived , there was another methodology, another mentality. We tried to put in place a new mentality and a new form of physical work. We must do better and we can do better.”
“We must not underestimate the fact that I have never had the opportunity to work in continuity on a technical and tactical level. We play all the time. We have had little opportunity to work on the principles of game. It’s very difficult when you have to play every three days, but it’s part of modern football, it’s a component not to be underestimated. After a week of work, we will lose six or seven players who will compete in the CAN.”
16:38
Gattuso takes stock of the Marseille squad
“There is no news on that, we have training at 6 p.m. I’m going to speak with the doctor. For the moment we only have Correa and Rongier who are not available. Renan Lodi is him suspended.”
