Italian legend Gennaro Gattuso admits it would be tough match for Marseille to draw against Brighton in the Europa League.

The two teams are going head to head on Thursday night, with the visitors knowing a point is enough to top Group B.

However, Gattuso believes they have to go for a win, as trying to get a point against an attacking Brighton is tough.

He told a press conference at the Amex: The biggest error we can make is to come here to play against a De Zerbi team and play for a draw.

You have to be brave, if not and they put you in your own 25 metres and you won't get out.

You have to go and look for them a bit, you have to pressure them.

The Brighton team controls all the pitch.

They pay against incredible teams in the Premier League and against Ajax.

They had 70%, 65% of possession against Chelsea at their place!

You can't come here and just defend.

If you do, you have to make the sign of the Cross and hope that Gods helps you."
