Clinging to Nantes (1-1) playing almost the entire match on the numerical superiority, Olympique de Marseille made the same mistakes as in Metz.
“We do the same errors, it’s starting to do a lot. » At the microphone of Prime Video, Valentin Rongier was angry. As in Metz two weeks ago, Olympique de Marseille dropped the three points while the Phocaeans led the score at 11 against 10 against a team which should play maintenance this season. In Nantes, despite an ideal start (goal from Sarr in the 4th minute, red card for Meupiyou from the 9th), Marcelino’s men still conceded a very disappointing draw (1-1).
“To tell the truth, tonight I’m really disappointed and the whole team too, will admit Ismaila Sarr in the mixed zone. Because it’s twice that we lead a goal to nil and the other team gets a red card. We can’t win. (…) We wanted to play. But right after, we stop playing. But that is not normal. »
Questioned by the Phocaean, Jonathan Clauss abounds. “It’s inexplicable, enrages the Marseille piston. Hot it’s hard because 1-0, 11 against 10, you feel like you’re in control of the game, you put big pressing in place and then we stop playing, it’s terrible, I don’t understand how one can stop playing so much. So we wanted to put our game in place, rotate it a bit, etc., but at some point we have to be much sharper and I think we still lacked that slightly creative side that could have allowed us to attack better. again and it’s true that at some point it became a bit too sterile and we were playing on a wrong rhythm and it can’t work like that. »
And Marcelino could only make the same observation. “I think that, even playing against 10 Nantes players, we relaxed our effort. When you think you have the game in hand and you slack off, you suffer the consequences,” noted the Marseille coach, helpless.
