Moroccan international Amine Harit justified the defeat of Olympique de Marseille against Rennes on Sunday.
Olympique de Marseille suffered its second defeat since the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset by losing to Rennes (0-2), this Sunday in Ligue 1. Amine Harit, the Marseille attacking midfielder, admitted fatigue of his team after a month of intense competition.
“We are all a little disappointed, but we are coming to the end of a very, very tiring month. We spent a lot of energy. This (Sunday) evening, we lacked efficiency and accuracy. I felt a lot of fatigue too. This truce comes at just the right time for us”said the Moroccan.
Harit has confidence in the future
Despite the defeat, Harit wanted to put things into perspective and highlight the strong points of OM's recent record. “In our last matches, we were good in the last 30 meters, in the last movements. Tonight, that wasn't the case. It is necessary to relativize. We have taken 9 points out of 12 in the last four league matches. We're going to go and rest because it's going to attack very hard after the break. Honestly, given our situation a month ago, we are not going to be choosy. There are positives despite tonight's defeat. »
The former Schalke 04 player highlighted the particularly busy schedule of the Marseille club. “We've worked a lot, there's a lot of fatigue. In another context, with a full week of rest, I don't know if we play this match the same way. I am convinced that we will succeed in raising our level because we have a quality team. »
It is important to note that the Ciel et Blancs have played 40 matches in all competitions this season, compared to 37 during the same period last year.
