Scorer on the equalizer to revive LOSC against Toulouse (2-1), Angel Gomes appeared very satisfied after the victorythis Saturday. The English community tries to explain this two-faced performance.
Angel, explain to us this completely different behavior between the first and second half?
“When you play Wednesday then Saturday, it’s hard. There is a change in the players who play. I think Toulouse had a good first half. It was tough to play against this team, especially in the first half. The coach told us to stay calm and that things would change in the second half.
Did the coach shake you up?
No, he remained very calm. You have to respect your opponent. Toulouse did a great job in the first half, it was hard for all the players. He knew that in the second half, anything was possible.
How to explain your totally different face in the second half?
All matches are different. I need to do things right. And in the first half, it was difficult for me with few spaces. I think in the first year our game was slow. In the second half I gave the ball away and did things quicker.
The combination with Osame Sahraoui on your goal was beautiful to see…
We worked on it in training. I know Osame well and when I gave him the ball I knew he was going to do things the right way. He did it last week with Jonathan David, this time with me. I am very happy with this goal.
It’s a victory that counts after this victory in the Champions League…
The championship is very important for us. The victory against Real Madrid was important and above all historic. But this match (against Toulouse) was very important for us too in order to return to the ranking. The last 15-20 minutes were tough, but the most important thing is to win. It’s good for everyone to come back to Marseille. »
