OM made their return to C1 on Wednesday against Olympiakos. The Phoceans lost in the final minutes and André Villas-Boas looked a little sad and disappointed in a post-match interview.
Olympique de Marseille returned to the Champions League on Wednesday night. Like Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday and Rennes, the Olympians failed to win in Greece. Worse still, they conceded a goal in the final moments of the match by Koka on a cross by Mathieu Valbuena (90th-1). After the match, André Villas-Boas stopped expressing his disappointment at the microphone of RMC Sport.
« It’s true that it ends very badly for us. It’s a shame for Jordan’s control (on the Greek goal). They had this opportunity that killed us at the last minute. These are the details of the Champions League, it’s also the experience. Normally, the match has to end and a point has to go to Marseille. We have to accept. They won the second ball on goal,” the Portuguese began.
André Villas-Boas was a little disappointed
However, AVB regretted the opportunities of his flock, especially that of Dario Benedetto, who hit José Sà at the beginning of the second half: “We had a few chances in the first half and at the beginning of the second half. We’ve had a lot of opportunities. It was a game that was going to be played on details. The teams were good defensively, there were no big opportunities for both teams. At the end of the game, we pressed them a little higher. Normally it’s a ball you win, it’s details,” he continued. A little disappointed, André Villas-Boas did not express his concern by the mutism of his attack and explained that he was now focused on the next deadline of his club, namely FC Lorient this Saturday at 17:00 in Ligue 1.
But after that, we will have to switch directly to another Champions League match, this time at the Orange Velodrome, against the ogre of the group, Manchester City, who disposed of FC Porto during this evening (3-1) And we will have to try to do the job, as the Portuguese coach explained on Telefoot: “We end up with zero points with Porto, we’ll have to go for something in the other matches, especially against Porto. We’ll see against City, that’s the hardest part obviously, but we have to do our job.” A reaction is therefore expected next week.
