• The Parisians did not do better than a draw against OM on Sunday night at the Stade Vélodrome during the shock of the 11th day of Ligue 1.

  • The Parisians came out of the Vélodrome with a “bittersweet flavor”, frustrated at not having won but satisfied with the draw in a difficult context.

At the Velodrome stadium,

Minimum union for the PSG.

The Parisians, who did not do better than a draw on Sunday night against Olympique de Marseille (0-0), were divided at the exit of the Stade Vélodrome.

A bit like their performance and the “bitter sweet flavor” felt by Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the meeting: “Because as a PSG coach, we always hope to win.

But given the circumstances, there is satisfaction ”.

If he praised "a good organization of play, whether in possession or in the defensive phase", his players have never managed to shake the Marseille nets.

Even on the opening scoring, finally refused for an offside from Neymar (14th), it was Luan Peres who had deceived his own goalkeeper.

"I am satisfied with what Neymar did"

The Parisians were especially forced to play almost the entire second half at 10 against 11, after the expulsion of Hakimi for a fault as the last defender on Under, rightly signaled by the Var, again she. "What is a shame is to have played 40 minutes inferior against a good team and in a difficult atmosphere", regretted the Argentinian.

And especially not to have never really managed to find the trio of attack Mbappé, Neymar and Messi.

“After the exclusion, I had to make a decision, find a solution.

We did like that, with Neymar as third midfielder, a little lower than Messi and Mbappé.

I am satisfied with what Neymar did.

He worked for the team and he was coming out of inactivity, ”said Pochettino kindly.

Because from the press stand, we saw him more keen to dodge the projectiles launched by the Marseille supporters than to make a difference in the defense of OM.

"I think we were a little better"

Only Mbappé was ultimately dangerous by his speed and his calls in the back of the defense.

Unlike Messi, who, despite having found himself three times in his preferential position, did not worry Pau Lopez.

"We are looking for the best collective performance," said Mauricio Pochettino.

And it has been seen again.

A very limited collective performance, which did not prevent Mauricio Pochettino from being satisfied "with the performance and the progress of the team", and above all to consider that they "deserved the victory, by little.

I think we were a little better ”.

Whether it is for his tactical choices or his post-match analyzes, it is always so difficult to understand the Argentine.
