Starting against Paris Saint-Germain during the debacle of Olympique de Marseille at the Orange Vélodrome (0-3), Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg (29 years old) ensures that this defeat is ancient history.
OM has pride. Beaten by PSG two weeks ago in a stunned Orange Vélodrome, Roberto De Zerbi's men recovered well by winning in Nantes last Sunday (2-1). Interviewed at length in L'Équipe, Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg confirms that the slap received against PSG was digested in the OM locker room:
“I feel the team is better in ten days”
“Three to zero at half-time, there's not much to say. Breaking everything in the locker room, I don't know if that would have helped much, the result had already broken everything. Sometimes you also regret saying things directly because you are emotionally affected. The most important thing, in fact, is the reaction after such a match: how people behave, train in the following week. I appreciated the way everyone got back up. I feel that the team is better in ten days, it's strange to say perhaps but I know it. »
