“It stops us in our momentum,” says Neal Maupay

Neal Maupay (OM striker):

“We missed our first half in the engagement, with or without the ball. Strasbourg was more aggressive and afterwards it’s complicated to run behind the score. It’s a good reminder. We know that the season is long and there will be difficult moments. We had few chances, but the goalkeeper made good saves. They took advantage of it, they are a very good team. The coach warned us. At the beginning of the week, we were ready, but we didn’t do what we needed to do. It stops us in our tracks.

Geronimo Rulli (gardien de but de l’OM):

“It was complicated for us, Strasbourg played very well and won almost all the duels. It’s a disappointment. Strasbourg prevented us from playing our football and implementing what we worked on during the week. We are thinking about Angers now, our next match, to find our mentality and our state of mind.”
