Marseille (AFP)

The difference is so "abysmal" between the Paris SG and Marseille that OM "has more to gain than lose," said Friday, before the "clasico", his coach André Villas-Boas, who wants to win the most next duels against Lille and Lyon, more important to him.

Q: Which striker impresses you the most at PSG, where Icardi came to inflate the competition?

A: "And that's the problem (laughs)! Icardi is well integrated, but the most impressive is to see that in the Champions League against Bruges PSG has on the bench a player who signs a hat-trick ( Mbappé, editor's note) ... It exists only in Paris, and with Neymar injured Or you align Paredes while Gueye is suspended ... Di Maria is in an incredible form, he goes on assists and goals, Cavani and Icardi are Kylian is difficult, whether it's a high block or a low block, I think everyone agrees that Kylian is progressing to be the natural successor of Cristiano and Messi . "

Q: You said this game does not "count too much" for you. Do you understand that statement surprised?

A: "I've only been realistic, if you look back ten years, the statistics are: 23 matches, 17 losses (for 3 OM victories and 3 draws, ed), at home and at home. This is the reality, it does not mean that we do not go there to play, we have more to gain than to lose, and that is also the reality when you play a Clasico. usually Porto-Benfica or Barça-Real, sometimes one wins, sometimes the other, but in League 1 this Clasico is history.In ten years, there was a billion euros investment difference Now the difference between the teams is abysmal.But we do not go to Paris to participate in the party PSG.You go with your weapons, you defend, you wet the shirt. There are teams with less budget than we who come to Velodrome, who dream, and sometimes win.We will dream too, and we will try to win.I especially want to say that we have nothing to lose. to cope well, or tr If that's the case, the most important thing is to recover mentally afterwards for what is important: Monaco in the Coupe de la Ligue, Lille and Lyon. You have to go out (of the Park) without injury or suspension for these matches. "

Q: You are always quite honest, the fans appreciate it, does it come from your character?

A: "I do not know ... We've already talked about this, I'm not here to do the phenomenon, and if we lose in Paris, against Lyon and Lille, everything changes dramatically, I do not want to win with my communication, but with my results, so much the better if it appeals to the fans, it is my way of expressing myself, maybe also my lack of vocabulary prevents me, I try to remain as simple as possible, but I do not want not win the press conference match.
