Angry Gattuso vents after 'disastrous' Marseille dress rehearsal ahead of Ajax

Young Dutch striker Emanuel Emegha scored early in the game for Strasbourg on Saturday evening, and Jonathan Clauss helped Marseille to secure a point at Stade de la Meinau. Gattuso had nothing positive to say about his team's performance.

'I really have no idea why we played the way we did. I am really furious about the second half. That was crap, a disaster,' Gattuso said in a press conference. 'I take all the responsibility, but it's a mystery to me how this could have happened.'

'It must become very clear that as a player, you carry a great responsibility when you wear the Marseille shirt. I'd rather lose 4-0 in a game where you show courage than earn a point this way. I also asked the players what was wrong.'

'I really want an explanation for this. And I still expect one from them. It was a worthless performance. This was the worst game since I have been here,' said Gattuso, who joined the upcoming European opponent of Ajax at the end of September. Marseille is in the twelfth position in Ligue 1.
