The OM technician confided in a press conference on Monday before the 8th finals of the Coupe de France against Strasbourg on Wednesday.
Critics after OM-Angers (0-0): “I was not happy but satisfied with the result against a dangerous team. We had a careful match, our sides were too low, we were afraid of this match. After the results of the weekend (in Ligue 1), I am satisfied. The important thing was not to lose but it is true that we did not play well. “
The OM calendar: “It’s easier for us to prepare for training because in recovery, we only do care. Suffice to say that this is nothing to anticipate. This calendar with matches every three days also allows you, if you have a bad result, to follow quickly. Our calendar has not been demanding this year, physically we will give a good answer. “
The supporters’ tifo positive against him on Saturday and hostile to the OM leadership: “I didn’t see it when I entered the Velodrome, I looked the other way (laughs). Then I was sent the photo and I appreciated it. I am pragmatic, if the results are fine, everything is fine, otherwise it is my fault. I tell supporters what I say at a press conference. I hope that we will be able to be on the podium and fulfill our main objective. “
“We cannot win Ligue 1 because PSG is out of competition”
Dario Benedetto misses a goal: “He played with pain against Angers (0-0), he was in physical difficulty. He did care and an MRI that didn’t reveal anything. Afterwards, sincerely, I find it very good. It’s not a pure number 9, not like Dembélé (Lyon), not a penalty shooter. If he spends the next 4 games without scoring and we win, that’s good for me. “
His look at Strasbourg in 8e finals of the Coupe de France: “They are confident after their good results (winners in Strasbourg 3-1), and their change of system in 4-4-2 diamond made them feel good. It’s a great team, with Ajorque, Thomasson that I really like. We are going to prepare well and it will be interesting from a tactical point of view. “
The Coupe de France, OM’s objective? “We cannot win Ligue 1 because PSG is out of competition. We are in 8e final and lacks matches to win a trophy. We can start dreaming after Strasbourg if we are in the quarterfinals. We must speed up the game, play less carefully. These are the trophies that make your record, we have World Cup winners in the locker room, National Cup… but I want to win a trophy with OM, you can qualify for the Champions League, but you don’t have not necessarily the weapons to achieve beautiful things. “
