Sunday evening’s meeting at the Parc des Princes (9 p.m., Prime Video) already promises to be thrilling, with on the one hand the Parisian leader who remains on three draws (all competitions combined), and an opponent from Marseille, 3rd , brilliant Wednesday at Sporting Portugal. Two days before the traditional classic, Igor Tudor, OM coach, spoke at the start of the afternoon at a press conference, a few moments after Christophe Galtier, the Parisian. For the Croatian tactician, his players must remain confident and motivated against an opponent who has not weakened despite the delicate situation he is going through off the field.
In front of the journalists, Tudor affirmed that the PSG remains the great team which dominates the championship: “I do not believe that Paris is less brilliant. They had two good games against Benfica, playing very seriously. I liked them in these two games and they have quality everywhere. This is a world class team. “The former Juve player then focused on his own team, he believes he has the cards in hand to come and get a result in the capital.
“It is clear that we are doing well after this victory in the Champions League”
“We have to stay ourselves, do what we know how to do and see what comes out of it. It is clear that we are doing well after this victory in the Champions League. The boys are happy, confident, motivated. We know it will be a difficult match but we are in a good period, which has been going on for a while. In the end, we only missed the match against Ajaccio, and again. He had lacked only a little lucidity and offensive efficiency. »
For him, this is not the time to change anything in his game system: “It’s impossible. How to explain to the players that we are changing at such a good time? We cannot change overnight. What matters is to improve your style: be more compact in pressing, be aggressive, have one more player in the defensive phase, arrive in more numbers in the opposing area… We can improve that. And what makes me happy is that I see that the players like it. When you work hard, it’s important to get results. They give you confidence and credibility. We have a serious team, we will see how it evolves. We are progressing well and we have to continue like this”.
The Parisian French champion is therefore warned: OM are not going to make the trip to take pictures of the Parisian monuments. The shock will indeed take place, between Marseilles motivated as ever and a PSG in crisis which lives this week to the sound of the revelation of the inclinations of departure of Kylian Mbappé and the file of the digital army, without forgetting the lack of victories since the October 1st. “We are undefeated, Marseille is making a good start to the championship, we could refocus the debate on the game”, previously asserted Christophe Galtier.
