Igor Tudor in Lorient. Federico Pestellini / PANORAMIC
Igor Tudor, yet laudatory on the level of Ligue 1 not long ago, attacks Lorient and the way of playing in France.
Olympique de Marseille had to settle for a draw this Sunday evening in Lorient (0-0). Igor Tudor was satisfied with the performance of his players. On the contrary, the Marseille coach attacked the opponent.
«I’m not happy with this second draw in a row, but I can’t say anything to the players, comments Igor Tudor at the microphone of Premium Video. There was intensity. It was difficult in the last few meters. Lorient did not want to play. They remained in defense, it is typical of French football. It was a typical match of French football.»
In a press conference, the OM coach spoke at greater length about this match.
«Today we got serious. The performance was good, he only missed one goal. I really liked the team’s game. But we are sad because we did not win. We wanted to win. The team put the intensity it needed. There were some nice things on the ball, a nice intensity without the ball too to avoid counter-attacks, but something was missing in front (…) The only problem is that when you win, we think that you played very well, but if you draw, we think you missed. If we compare with the performance in Reims (2-1 victory during the 28th day, editor’s note), I preferred here for the quality of play and the intensity.»
