• The Marseillais could not do better than a draw (0-0) Sunday night against PSG at the Stade Vélodrome.

  • At the end of the match the Marseillais were a little frustrated not to have snatched the victory, after playing 10 against 11 for 35 minutes.

At the Velodrome stadium,

Marseillais frustrated with a draw against PSG.

Olympique de Marseille, could not do better than a draw (0-0), Sunday night against the Parisians during the shock of the 11th day of Ligue 1. Despite 35 minutes in numerical superiority after the expulsion Hakimi, Dimitri Payet's teammates failed to score.

What feed some regrets despite this good point, proof of the ambition of this OM of Jorge Sampaoli.

“We, Olympique de Marseille, play every match for the 3 points, we want to win them.

Tonight we were keen to win it.

In the second half we really pushed, the supporters too, there is a little disappointment compared to the 3 points ”, launched Mattéo Guendouzi at the end of the match.

"We lacked accuracy"

Like his teammates, the PSG-trained midfielder looked his opponents straight in the eye, even going so far as to dominate Neymar in the midfield.

“There was room, if we had been more realistic in the last move, on passes, crosses.

We could have done better in front of goal, ”he said.

The Marseillais put a lot of heart, but their legs have too often trembled when it comes to making the difference.

“We had some situations, but fewer opportunities.

He has failed us for accuracy.

It's not the best game of the season for me.

I would have liked to do better on certain choices, certain gestures, ”explained Dimitri Payet, a little less technically correct than in his last match against Lorient (4-1), but still at the level.

"I still have whistling ears"

OM were driven by a huge Vélodrome stadium, at least as high as the players. "My ears are still whistling, no it's really an exceptional atmosphere, I'm very happy to be here with this best audience in France", savored Mattéo Guendouzi. Only downside, these throws of projectiles towards the Parisian players, despite his calls for calm and those of Dimitri Payet. “OM supporters are incredible, the best in France. It's great to see a party like that at the Vélodrome, ”continued Sampaoli. When William Saliba lived "the best match of [his] career in front of this fervor".

The defender even had to put on the savior costume by going superbly to tackle Mbappé, yet launched in depth in the last minutes of the match (83rd).

“I said to myself either I take the ball or I take red.

They have the best players in the world in front of them so we had to stay focused, ”he said afterwards.

His two friends in defense, Luan Peres and Duje Caleta Car, have also largely done the job.

"We may have wanted to do well by keeping this point"

A draw ultimately not illogical against a solid Parisian team, without being transcendent. “There were two moments in this game. We first suffered for the first few minutes. Then we sometimes took control of the game and we had opportunities against a very strong team. The red helped us and in the second half we had chances, with shots that were not precise enough. The draw is fair, I think ”, judged Jorge Sampaoli.

A draw also "logical" for Dimitri Payet, who believes that his team "was a little content with the draw.

We know that we cannot board, we know what we are risking.

We may have wanted to do well by keeping this point ”.

The OM follow mainly matches every three days, and Payet with it, and knowing how to keep a draw at home, where the Marseillais have not won for 10 years against Paris, is already a small victory.
