Jonathan Clauss is having a great first season at OM where he is used most of the time as a right track, but sometimes also on the left. Put to the test by the very physically demanding game of Igor Tudor, the former Lensois also experienced a less good period. His relationship with his trainer has not always been good either, which he himself admits in an interview with European 1. You have to know how to adapt with the one who is leading the Phocaeans to 3rd place in Ligue 1, for the moment.
“He is outwardly as he is inwardly. He doesn’t cheat on anyone, he doesn’t pretend to be someone he isn’t. And it’s hard, it’s strict, but it’s his vision of things. We adapt. So of course there are frictions from time to time. But hey, we have a lot of friction with our parents, so why wouldn’t we have any with a coach? He is in his image. But whether we like it or not, he has results today. It remains to be seen whether the two men will still collaborate next season since the Croatian is not certain to stay.
