OM will have to “get off their ass”, judged Marseille striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Thursday after the new draw conceded by his team (2-2), joined in the last moments by Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg play-off of the Europa League. “It’s like a virus”, first estimated the Marseille striker about the inability to win for OM, who have only won one match in 2024, against Thionville (N3 ) in the Coupe de France.
“We need awareness, we need to realize that what we are doing is not enough. You just have to get off your ass. Everyone is aware that we are capable of ten times better,” added Aubameyang. “I am not targeting anyone in particular, I am talking about the group and myself first,” he clarified. “But I remain positive, I am not saying that we are going to throw the season out the window,” concluded the Gabonese striker.
