Pélissier in seventh heaven.
If Marseille's defeat against Auxerre will perhaps leave its mark on the Olympian side, it will on the contrary prolong the very good dynamic among the Auxerroisa week after having scattered Rennes at home. So at the press conference, the AJA coach, Christophe Pélissier, was a little less gloomy than his colleague opposite, Roberto De Zerbi. And for good reason, the native of Revel had just realized one of the best performances of his coaching careerwith an unprecedented result: “ It's the tenth time I played Marseille and I had lost nine times. It was the only Ligue 1 club against which I had not taken a single point. » An anomaly more than repaired and prepared in advance, but which he never thought he would see reach such proportions. “ From there to leading 3-0 at half-time, we had not imagined it “, he conceded.
So he took the time to realize the extent of the performance achieved : « When you're a coach, it's victories that count. » More than satisfied with the performance of his players, « we achieved things perfectly in the first half »he wanted to emphasize the very good series of his group for several days. « Before this block of four matches, I was asked how we were going to do with 6 points before playing against Reims, Lyon, Rennes and Marseillehe recalled. In the end, we took 10 points out of 12. »
Sixth in Ligue 1 this Saturday morning, Auxerre awaits Angers firmly after the break.
