Low block

 : "We must be able to master different ways of playing at times.

We scored fairly quickly and then we controlled.

The block was high at times, lower at others ... We had control of the match and the possibility of creating danger in several situations.

Not to mention refereeing, there were situations that we could have exploited better. ”

Good preparation before Barcelona or not

: “We were focused on this match, we don't think about preparing another one.

Marseille has its strengths, its qualities.

We want to be focused on the next game, always the most important.

We have to think about ourselves, to be strong, and to win the next match, not to prepare another one which will only happen in a few weeks. "

Neymar

: The club communicated transparently.

He threw up, he was really sick.

He only played about 30 minutes because we thought he could do it.

But I repeat: if the club communicated that he was sick, it was with transparency.

The Classic as in its time

: “No (smile).

I can't find much of the past (smile).

How beautiful football was before the Covid ... It's missing.

When we look at the different championships, we find upset rankings, sometimes unexpected results.

Some players suffer and others take advantage of the supporters.

A club like us, we need these supporters to sublimate.

It lacks having the supporters in the stadium. "

As we speak, we don't think it's very serious, but we have to wait for the exams to see how serious the injury is. ”
