An important meeting for the Rouge et Bleu who want to temporarily regain the lead in the standings at Olympique de Marseille. To do this, Luis Enrique's players will have to win in order to put pressure on the Olympians who will take to the RC Lens pitch later in the evening.
Present at a press conference this Friday, the Parisian coach displayed enormous serenity regarding the ranking of the Parisian club (second, one point behind OM). “ As a coach, I am calm and confident because I saw the same thing. It's your job to analyze why you think it works or doesn't. You have to see each match in different contexts. We try to play the same way, but there are different circumstances especially around each match. I saw the same mentality and the same identity in Ligue 1 as in the Champions League, the same as last season,” he told journalists.
Before continuing his remarks: “ You are concerned because the team has one point less (than OM, editor's note), I am not. As PSG coach, I don't worry about others. We are ready. We don't use the different circumstances we had as an excuse, we have to know how to manage that. That's what we do. And I repeat, I saw the same team in the league as in the Champions League. More than recovering first place, our concern is to win matches. To win the two away matches in Brest and Lorient. Seek to win every match. It's very difficult, but we have experience. »
OM wants to bounce back after Sporting
For PSG to return to the top of the standings, OM must make another mistake after their defeat against Sporting Portugal this Wednesday in the Champions League. Nevertheless, the Marseille club seems determined to raise its head and take the 3 points on the Sang et Or lawn this Saturday.
Present at a press conference this Friday, Roberto De Zerbi displayed his ambitions. “Is that a positive question? I expect us to play at our best. The supporters should not be sad or disappointed in the match against Sporting. In the defeat, it hurt us all, we could have done better but the supporters must think about the first half. The second was not a football match. The first period gave a lot of positive responses. You have to be focused on balance, that everything is not rosy when you win. Against PSG, the second period was painful. We evaluate him negatively against Sporting but that does not change my analysis of the match. »
