Trailing by a pawn at the break, LOSC nevertheless had some great opportunities. It is these misses that Gabriel Gudmundsson regrets after the first 45 minutes of this duel in Marseille.
The game plan is nevertheless respected to the letter, or almost, but the Mastiffs procrastinate far too much when it is necessary to hit the mark, like two missed opportunities by Jonathan David and a last one by Edon Zhegrova: “We had some good opportunitiesregretted Gabriel Gudmundsson at the break. We know the quality of Marseille. We must remain compact, be ready for new counterattacks. We will still have other chances, that's for sure. We'll see in the second half. »
Quentin Merlin's reaction: “I am very proud to have scored my first goal in Olympian colors. It's an honor and a great pride, but there is only a one-goal lead. We must remain vigilant and concentrated to score the second goal and continue with clean sheets. On the goal, I see that we come out well on a counterattack, that Mandi is on Adrien (Rabiot) and that I have space. I am a generous person, I race. In my head, the feint comes by itself and then I see an angle in the cages of Lucas (Chevalier)”he launched on the antennas of BeIN Sports.
