Highlights: Jean-Louis Gasset, new OM coach, refuted the hypothesis of a “Gasset effect” to explain Marseille’s victory against Shakhtar Donetsk. “It was above all 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,” he said. ‘I came here often and dreamed of this atmosphere and this communion,’ he added.


Jean-Louis Gasset, new OM coach, refuted Thursday the hypothesis of a “Gasset effect” to explain Marseille’s victory against Shakhtar Donetsk, but felt that there had been “an awareness” from its players.


“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.
