Payet, the captain's strong words


If he did not necessarily shine on the meadow, Dimitri Payet assumed his role of captain brilliantly in front of the media. The international tricolor midfielder took his courage in both hands and virulently criticized the deplorable actions of some Marseille supporters on Sunday evening (see elsewhere). “

We cannot say that they are supporters of OM. We know what we are risking, losing points. We must not cry at the end of the season if we miss one or two,

”he hammered in the mixed zone after the game. And to add, on the subject of repeated overflows in L1: "

There will need to be sanctions.

And real sanctions!

We can't, we can't accept this anymore.

Or do you have to wait until there is something really bad?

And that would be too late in my opinion.

You have to make decisions.

" All good.

The Vélodrome all fire all flame


Captain Payet also congratulated the rest of the public, the vast majority of the 65,000 people who took their places in the stands of the Vélodrome. Well Named. Because the atmosphere was crazy. William Saliba assures us that it was the “

best match of (his) career

” in this area, praising the “

fervor

” of the stadium on Sunday. "

I still have whistling ears, that's to say to you!" There was an exceptional atmosphere. You have to play at OM to describe this kind of feeling,

"said Mattéo Guendouzi,"

happy

"to be in Marseille and to play in front of"

the best public in France.

".

Even the Parisian doorman, Keylor Navas, praised the Marseille atmosphere: “

It was a joy for everyone to play in front of this audience.

Football with the supporters is really something else.

Remember that the two previous Classics, in Lens (Champions Trophy) and already at the Vélodrome, took place in empty stadiums, while OM won in front of 5,000 people at the start of last season, in Paris ( 0-1).

Obviously, that changes everything.

Saliba and Guendouzi, symbols of an OM with a heart


PSG on a trip to the Vélodrome? Some Olympian supporters may have feared it, they who have been hoping for a victory for their favorite club against the Parisian rival at home for 10 years. The three points were not at stake (0-0), but their players had to reassure them. Certainly, he will have lacked a lot of things in this OM (see elsewhere), but no heart, will or desire. “

We showed a beautiful face, we fought to the end. That's what we want here

", summarized William Saliba, who behaved like a taulier at the top of his 20 years and who made"

a very good match.

»According to Guendouzi.

Saliba and Guendouzi, two players from the Paris region and on loan from Arsenal.

But above all two players who are making OM's heyday.

CLAW STROKES

OM may not be enterprising enough


"

We must not spit on this point

", proclaims Saliba, while Peres believes that "

it is not such a bad result

".

And it is true that many would have signed with both hands for a draw before the game on the Canebière.

Except "

that there was room to take it away

», As recognized by Guendouzi.

The Marseillais sinned in the finish, for example Arkadiusz Milik at the start of the match and Konrad de la Fuente at the end.

Above all, they may have lacked ambition in the game, especially after the expulsion of Achraf Hakimi (57th).

A relative reluctance that we can also understand, knowing the strike force of PSG against.

Moreover, Mauricio Pochettino's players could also have won.

Still, the regrets were mainly Marseille.

No more advanced PSG


Pochettino sees "

progress

" in the collective expression of "his" PSG. He is the only one. Of course, they could have won in Marseille on Sunday night with a little more efficiency in front of goal, but the Parisians still suffered and were too feverish. Tactically, we wonder where “Pocket” is going with this true-false 4-2-4 that it aligns as soon as it has its four offensive stars, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and Angel Di Maria. Especially by adding two very offensive full-backs to the equation, Nuno Mendes and Hakimi. The latter will miss the reception of Lille on Friday (9 p.m.) after his red at the Vélodrome. Still, the PSG is on the spot collectively, like Neymar, individually. "

In a club like Paris, we know that the months of September, October and November are difficult,

”promises Pochettino.

Roll on 2022 then.

Overflows, more overflows


Every day in Ligue 1 its overflows.

After the incidents in Saint-Etienne and the brawl between supporters of Nantes and Bordeaux, in Lorient, the turn of Marseille.

However, Pablo Longoria and Dimitri Payet had called for calm before the Classic, there was no Parisian supporter in Marseille and OM are subject to a suspended point withdrawal.

Nothing helped.

A handful of intellectuals saw fit to send various and varied projectiles in the direction of the Parisian corner kickers, a fan invited himself on the lawn in the middle of a match, others scrambled with the police to force entry into the stadium ... The cup is full.
