The Marseille coach takes stock after the 0-3 defeat against PSG this Sunday, at the Vélodrome, during the 25th day of Ligue 1.
Igor Tudor, OM coach, after the 0-3 defeat against PSG:
«Mbappé had too much space to play. He is a player who comes from another planet. The Parisians showed great motivation, they ran a lot, I hadn’t seen them do so for a long time… It’s hard when such good players are like that… We did our best…
If we compare the two matches, the one tonight and in the Coupe de France (on February 8, editor’s note), it’s PSG that makes the difference, their attitude, their number 7. We played the same way. But when all these players play so well… You may have the impression that we were slower, less well, but it was PSG who made the difference tonight. The absences of Gigot and Mbemba? It didn’t help, but even with them, I don’t think it would have changed much… All matches are different. If Nuno (Tavares) had scored on his first chance, it would have been different, but being down 0-2 it was difficult to come back… The absence of Clauss? It was a technical choice, due to their choice to play with three centre-backs and pistons.»
