Domenech pays ASSE after defeat against OM

The Evening Team devoted a large chapter of its Sunday program to the debrief of the meeting between Saint-Étienne and Marseille. After its lackluster performance, ASSE was expensive in the show.

Present on the set, Raymond Domenech had a blast. There is no question for him of evoking a Marseille “demonstration” in Saint-Étienne given the feverishness of adversity. The former coach and selector even laughs at a certain satisfaction of the Stéphanois to emerge from this meeting with a defeat by only two goals: “If that's a demonstration, against a team of living dead, I'm willing. Saint-Étienne they took five last week in Rennes, who just lost against Nantes who were in the hole. is not a demonstration A demonstration is when you win 4-5 to 0. You win 2-0 with a penalty, you wonder why the other (editor's note: Léo Petrot) is going to catch it behind then. that he lost the ball. It was effective from Marseille, well done, clean If there is another attacker with the 3/4 errors made by Balerdi on his controls, his bad placements, on the through balls. , we'll talk about it again. For me it's not a demonstration of Marseille, a demonstration is when we are perfect, everywhere.

This mastery of Marseille in this match exists because Saint-Étienne was not even solid defensively. They had the five players lined up behind and not even lined up, since the left back was still behind. He put the opponent back into play, on goal and two, three times in similar situations, their midfielders were far away. There wasn't even a team block, which is what the others usually do, so it's easy to demonstrate the game in this situation. All the other teams managed to put Marseille in difficulty. Only Saint-Étienne failed to do so. We can give them the excuse of being absent. With this team, as Timothée Maymon said, they were happy, they only conceded two goals, they didn't take a suitcase today, everything is fine.”
