The Lille coach and his excellent Dutch defender are content with the point taken against PSG on Sunday.


At the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium

Christophe Galtier (LOSC coach)

: “It's a good result against a team that has dominated us in many areas.

In possession obviously, it was not a surprise, but it also suffocated us and made a big counter-pressing.

Especially in the first half, we never managed to get out on our transitions.

We made a lot of technical errors which were surely linked to Paris' excellent reaction to the loss of the ball.

We didn't manage to win, but sometimes you have to know not to lose.

We succeeded.

Even though Paris has had a lot of favorable situations.

We suffered a lot.

In the second half, we tried to do what we are used to doing, take more depth, have a little more direct play.

But we did not succeed.

At half-time I pointed out that Kehrer and Kimpembe had been warned.

They should have been put under more pressure.

Unfortunately, the offensive players stalled instead of taking up space behind the defense, which favored the excellent Parisian pressing.

We lacked lucidity when we recovered the ball.

We made a lot of technical mistakes.

Is it related to physical freshness?

Surely.

It's not just that.

But when you offer very few runs forward and behind the defense, you are less good at it.

(…) This is not a halt.

(…) Defensively, we had a good game.

And my players gave a lot, put a lot of energy into defending well.

Not just the defenders, but the whole team.

In any case, if you don't defend well against Paris, you lose.

Even if they had quality absentees.

(…) After the truce, we must resume on January 31.

I hope we will resume a little later.

It will mean that the players had a big match in Montpellier and took the three points.

(…) There was a misfortune after the Lorient match (the death of a gardener, note).

Gardeners are among the people who work for football.

I would like to extend my condolences to his family.

It is a drama.

All my support at this very difficult time. ”

"I still think we can be champion, why not?"

Sven Botman (LOSC defender)

: “PSG were the best team today.

They were good with the ball, they put pressure on us.

In the end, it is a bad result for them.

For us it's not the best, but it's a good result.

We are a little disappointed because we can play better, we could have put PSG under more pressure.

(...) Paris, the team that has hurt Lille the most this season?

Yes I think.

PSG has quality.

It was a tough game.

We played other complicated matches in this competition, but not like against PSG.

There is a lot of quality in this team ... It was hard.

(...) The title ?

I still think you can be a champion.

Why not ?

We are first.

I said this draw is a good result for us.

I still believe that we can do something special this season in Ligue 1. "
