A feeling of helplessness
To exist, we would have had to really raise the technical and athletic level. We suffered a lot, we didn’t create many chances. It’s a feeling of helplessness, yes, compared to this Marseille team. There is a big difference this evening between the two teams. The step was too high against a squad that is playing for the title.
The starting plan
We wanted to be solid against a very technical team, capable of breaking through a lot of formations, especially away from home. We had to do better and recover balls. I thought we would be able to get more, but we weren’t aggressive enough. We expected this opponent to pass through the axis by adding numbers.
Absences that hurt
We had some problems with absences and we had to overcome them. We used another system, but I don’t think that’s the problem. To exist, we have to be much more aggressive, much more technical. As soon as we bring a little more speed, it’s better, like Zuriko Davitashvili’s first opportunity, but we have difficulty finding it. We also need more depth and in this register, some, like Ben Old, are currently injured. We miss it.
