OM captain Leonardo Balerdi reacted after his team’s elimination from the French Cup. This Tuesday evening, the Olympians were knocked out at the Vélodrome by Lille (1-1, 3 shots on goal to 4). Verbatim.
Leonardo Balerdi:
“It was a goal (the French Cup, Editor’s note)we did everything to win. We gave our best. Unfortunately we lost. We created a lot of chances in the first half. If we scored them, the match would have been different. We tried until the last minute. It’s a shame.”
“To get back up, we have to think about something else, the championship, the only competition we have left. We are OM, we have to look forward. Jeffrey (De Lange) had deserved his chance. We are with him, just like with Jonathan (Rowe) and Luis (Henrique) who missed the penalty. We are a team, we are all together. Fatigue is not an excuse, it’s in your head. “
