In 4 games at the helm of Olympique de Marseille, Jean-Louis Gasset has racked up 4 wins. An extraordinary record for the 71-year-old coach. In particular, he has been able to revive the careers of Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaïla Sarr, both of whom have shone since his arrival.
The coach also reveals that he draws inspiration from Aliou Cissé. "The reference for me was Senegal, I know the coach. I wondered how he managed to succeed. When I saw Senegal play, I saw Sarr, who I knew a little bit, and Ndiaye, who I knew a little less because he played for Sheffield, but if Aliou selected him, it's because he saw potential in him. These are the players we've been looking at," he told a press conference on Saturday 09 March.
Jean-Louis Gasset went on to discuss the role of Iliman Ndiaye. The former Sheffield man is back in an axial position, whereas under Gattuso he was more on the flank. "He's a central player, a second striker, but it all depends on the profile of the other striker. He used to press the central players and play in the middle as a playmaker. against Villarreal." The former Côte d'Ivoire coach has not forgotten Pape Gueye, whom he has reinstated. "He has several positions. He can play as a central defender, a defensive midfielder and a relay player, because he's got a lot of presence," he says. Depending on the match, the evolution and the scenario, he's a malleable player. In Senegal, he played 6 and could drop back between the two center halves."
