After the elimination of OM, Leonardo Balerdi spoke to the media. The Argentinian regretted the missed opportunities: “It was a goal (the Coupe de France, Editor’s note), we did everything to win. We gave our best. Unfortunately, we lost. We created a lot of chances in the first half. If we score them, the match could have been different. We tried until the last minute. It's a shame “he confided.
“We are OM, we must look forward”
Balerdi also showed his solidarity with the players who failed to perform positively during the penalty session: “To get back up, we have to think about something else, the championship, the only competition we have left. We are OM, we must look forward. Jeffrey (De Lange) deserved his chance. We are with him, just like with Jonathan (Rowe) and Luis (Henrique) who missed the penalty. We are a team, we are all together. Fatigue is not an excuse, it's in your head. »
Leonardo Balerdi was the highest rated Marseille player by SofaScore for this match. The defender notably made 5 interceptions and 3 tackles. He also won 5 of his 7 duels.
