2020-10-17T22:52:01.113Z


The Marseille and Bordeaux reactions after the Olympian victory over the Girondins this Saturday, at the Vélodrome (3-1). 


André Villas-Boas (OM coach)

 : “We needed this victory, I hope it will give us a little more confidence.

All the individual performances were very good, and the collective change also worked well, it surprised the opponent.

With this diamond-shaped 4-4-2, we controlled the play between the lines, but this system is also difficult defensively.

We'll see what we'll do at Olympiakos.

We needed the strength that comes with confidence, in the second half we were very good, it's a very good game for our team.

Now we are three points behind the first, we have played PSG, Lille and Lyon, if against Lorient, Lens and Strasbourg we do good things, we will move up the standings a little. "

"We did not know how to learn from the past"

Benoit Costil

Benoît Costil (goalkeeper and captain of Bordeaux)

 : “We are disappointed, we reacted too late.

We did not know how to learn the lessons of the past, we had too much technical waste with the ball.

We had good defensive moments in previous matches but we knew very well that we would end up taking two, three, four.

When?

We didn't know, but there you go.

We're going to get back to work, we have to be better with the ball.

We will listen to the coach's instructions and get back to work.

We had some good streaks anyway, like Hatem's goal (Ben Arfa) unfortunately refused.

But we have to make regular progress, we have work to do. "

- OM is reassured against the Girondins

Jean-Louis Gasset (Bordeaux coach)

 : “This 3-1 for Marseille is deserved, yes, technically OM have been way above us.

We can regret the two starts of half-time.

And Thauvin gives us a goal like Thauvin, the opening of the scoring is an achievement.

He doesn't have to put it in a 25 or 30 m skylight ... Technically, Marseille made us run and overwhelmed us.

Hatem Ben Arfa, I had decided to play him for an hour, I said to myself that it was better to play him as quickly as possible so that he could find the rhythm for the home game next week.

But in a dominated team, he did not receive many good balls. "

They are going to have an MRI. ”

The countdown is on: OM will travel to Greece on Wednesday to start their Champions League campaign and face Olympiakos.
