Iliman Ndiaye shone in Olympique de Marseille’s victory over Montpellier (4-1). Behind this Senegalese player’s great performance lies an unprecedented decision by Jean-Louis Gasset. According to La Provence, the day before the match, the former Sheffield United player informed his coach that he would be late to training for personal reasons. The coach responded magnificently.
Iliman was excused from the session and informed of his starting position for the match. « Tomorrow you will be a starter and you will crush it, » the French coach told him. The Lion of Teranga delivered his best performance in the colors of OM. A successful move by Gasset.
