Morgan Sanson turns around: he has just opened the scoring with a nice half volley.

The only nice gesture of the match.

  • Olympique de Marseille won Friday night in Strasbourg, opening the 10th day of Ligue 1.

  • The Marseillais won on… their only shot of the match!

  • What does the coach think of this poor performance?

    André Villas-Boas rather wanted to salute the rigor of his team and its reaction three days after the defeat in Porto.

    But Morgan Sanson was more verbose ...

At the Meinau stadium,

Did you have something else planned for Friday than a little TV evening in front of Strasbourg-OM?

Don't regret anything, there was not much to see.

Especially if you hold football in high esteem and hope to have some emotions other than spite.

At the Meinau, nobody vibrated.

It's true, there weren't many people, it was cold, but it wasn't the two teams that helped warm up.

Even less OM who won the purge (OK, it's a bit steep) thanks to their… only shot of the match.

On a cap goal in addition, where Payet achieved a perfect cross while lying on the ground!

Benedetto then improved it with a good deflection of the head for Sanson who sent his half-volley under the bar of Kamara (0-1, 72nd).

So much for the moment emotion, it was the only one in the game.

“Last year, I remember a match where we won 2-1 with just one shot,” André Villas-Boas recalled at a press conference.

The OM coach really didn't want to talk about content.

He attacked several journalists, politely but curtly, who dared to question him on the subject.

After him, Morgan Sanson was more talkative.

“The game, we will see in the coming weeks […] We can do better in almost all areas,” admitted the evening scorer, also a little more objective than his coach.

The midfielder even allowed himself a "it is sure that we would take more pleasure in playing better".

Before quickly recovering: “We are happy to have taken the points.

"

The two agreed on the essential: OM had won in Alsace thanks to its rigor and self-sacrifice.

A novelty three days after the rouste received in Porto in the Champions League (3-0).

“We were diligent […] It's a good signal, a good response from the team,” appreciated AVB, recognizing all the same difficulties in “having possession of the ball, to circulate it”.

To say the least, but it was enough to win in Strasbourg.

In Ligue 1.
