PSG-OM: "The most unbalanced Championship in the world", Villas-Boas launches hostilities

2021-01-11T15:46:58.448Z


Two days before the Champions Trophy, this Wednesday evening (9 p.m.), in Lens, the Marseille coach launched a first attack against the club.


48 hours before the new meeting between PSG and OM, this Wednesday (9 p.m.) in Lens for the Champions Trophy, and while the Parisians have recorded with pleasure the return of Neymar to training, the Marseillais have raises the temperature.

During a press conference on Monday, André Villas-Boas, the coach of the Marseille club who had recently been surprised by the dismissal of Thomas Tuchel, allowed himself a few offensive remarks.

“We know it's going to be a hot match,” he warned.

Last time it was out of control, but more because of them than us.

In any case, we are already the most successful team, even without Paris… ”He nevertheless refused to return to the Alvaro-Neymar incident of the championship match on September 13, won by his team at the Parc des Princes (1 -0).

“This is a case that is still before justice and therefore I do not want to talk too much about that, he slipped.

But Alvaro suffered quite a bit from this story.

"

But when discussing the absence of a title won by Marseille for 9 years and the possible source of motivation that it could draw from its players, Villas-Boas said: "OM have not won since PSG has changed the face of French football.

It's not OM's fault either, it's the reality of the most unbalanced championship in the world.

But hey ... When the PSG is not there it is necessary to take advantage of it, this is what Monaco did

(Editor's note: in 2017 with a title of champion of France)

.

But otherwise the norm is that PSG wins everything.

So we have an opportunity, we'll see if we can seize it.

But we don't have any pressure because as I said before: there are a billion and a half differences in investment between the two clubs, that's the reality.

Asked if he had noticed any changes in the Parisian game since the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, Villas-Boas replied: "It's hard to talk about difference because Pochettino has not had time to prepare his matches, except with set-ups and video.

I think he would have preferred to have a little more time to put his foot in the PSG.

From what I've seen, it's still a team based on individualities, capable of still producing a very fluid and interesting game.

They changed on set pieces and the way of defending from the zone to men to men.

After that comes with time but the problem for Pochettino is that he does not always have matches every three days.
