André Villas-Boas, the OM coach, liked the performance of his team during this Champions Trophy lost to PSG (2-1).
He appreciated it so much that for him, Marseille should have won this match.
"It was a balanced game and we were the best team in the area," explained the Portuguese technician after the meeting.
You can be the best team and lose games.
But we don't deserve to lose.
We have mastered the 1st and 2nd halves and the 2-0 comes against the course of the game. We were the best team but we didn't have time to respond.
Unfortunately we lose, congratulations to Paris, but we had an irreproachable state of mind and we mastered tactically and psychologically.
"
We cannot totally exclude that Villas-Boas, who had a lively but friendly discussion with Leonardo after his press conference, does a bit of “com” and sends a calibrated message to Marseille supporters.
But he was silent that even if his team knew how to create favorable situations, Keylor Navas the Parisian goalkeeper was only very rarely worried.
"As if they had won the Champions League"
In the same vein, OM have framed very few of their attempts, which, let's face it, is not the best way to win a football match.
It doesn't matter for Villas-Boas.
The Portuguese sees the financial power of PSG and its influence on referees as the drivers of his success.
“The difference in investment (
Editor's note: between the two clubs
) is brutal.
Paris can make a difference on an individual basis, he explained.
Icardi plays well this kind of situation on the penalty.
The little details make the difference and Icardi had a good game.
But the penalty changes a lot of things because the two teams had the same situations.
Once again, OM is a hit and not PSG.
The referee told me at the end that it was a direct yellow when you stop a counterattack.
We had that but not Paris, which nevertheless deserved two warnings.
This is not the first time that this has happened to us.
"
To cultivate animosity between the two camps, AVB mocks the reaction of the Parisians when lifting the trophy: "The best honor that Paris gives us is this party that they are having as if they had won the League of champions.
"
