Gerson, a Brazilian midfielder playing for Olympique de Marseille, has not played a single minute of play in OM's last three matches.
A tactical choice wanted by Igor Tudor, the Marseille coach, that the footballer does not accept, now giving him desires elsewhere.
He is starting to get used to the bench.
Gerson, Olympique de Marseille midfielder has not played a single minute with his club in three matches (at home against Lens, in Paris and in Lisbon against Sporting Portugal).
The Brazilian Gerson, key player in Jorge Sampaoli's team, is having trouble digesting this situation according to information from "L'Equipe".
An indisputable starter under the Jorge Sampaoli era, he is now a secondary choice for Igor Tudor, the current OM coach.
The latter gradually relegated him to the "substitute" category, preferring Amine Harit and Matteo Guendouzi to the attacking positions in support of Alexis Sanchez.

“We will find another club”
The former Flamengo player in Brazil is already thinking about the future and plans to leave the club.
Marcao, his father and agent, spoke about his son's situation in the newspaper "L'Equipe".
"I will try to be balanced but I cannot hide that we are angry, dropped Gerson's father. How can a player who is in full possession of his means be left out overnight, without no chance to show his football? It's incomprehensible."
Gerson would even like to go more and would have confided in his relatives that he wanted to leave.
A wish confirmed by his father who declared: "We are going to look elsewhere. It is inevitable. We are going to organize ourselves to leave as soon as the next transfer window."
These statements will surely have consequences in the Olympian locker room.
The FC Sevilla rumor, now coached by Jorge Sampaoli, Gerson's former coach at OM, is circulating in the streets of Marseille.
