Yet in numerical superiority for more than an hour of play, the Olympians have never managed to blow up the lock of the men of Habib Beye.
The players of Roberto de Zerbi were surprised at the end of the match on a goal from Ludovic Blas (1-0, 90+1). After the meeting at a press conference, the Italian technician did not hide his frustration as for the result of the match.
For him, his men lacked envy and aggressiveness in this part. “We had a lot of opportunities, we had two posts and we take a stupid goal. But if we think that the goals fall from the sky, we didn't understand anything. What annoyed me the most is to take this goal. We did everything to score, but it can happen not to succeed. On the other hand, we must not even put ourselves in position to take this goal like that. he launched in front of the journalists.
And continue: “What is simple to understand is that what has been done so far is useless. In Marseille, everyone has not yet understood that you have to be all the time at the same level of envy, motivation, humility. You need a necessary balance. If you want a big team, you have to do more, otherwise we won't get there. The personality, we had it this evening (Friday). But we were not at the level of character and wickedness, as against Aston Villa (3-1, August 9, in friendly), where we showed a very high level. »»
