Coming out of OM’s draw against Toulouse on Saturday evening at the Vélodrome, Benjamin Pavard had a very bad time.
Olympique de Marseille missed the mark. Four days after its extremely important victory over Newcastle in the Champions League (2-1),
the Phocaeans were held at home by Toulouse (2-2)Saturday evening on behalf of the 14e
day of Ligue 1. The Ciel et Blanc thus missed the opportunity to take control of the championship after PSG’s defeat in Monaco (1-0) a few hours earlier.
However, after quickly falling behind (14e), the Marseillais turned the situation around thanks to the achievements of Paixao (66e) and Hojberg (74e). But at the very end of the game, Roberto De Zerbi’s men collapsed following a long throw from McKenzie for Hidalgo’s head (90e+2).
Frustrated and angry at the final whistle, Benjamin Pavard did not mince his words. “Disappointed, very disappointed. Conceding a goal from a throw-in is not normal. I think we didn’t have a good first half. We reacted well but it’s annoying because we had to win tonight”lamented the 2018 world champion at the Ligue 1+ microphone.
“We must not concede stupid goals like that”
“ This goal at the end… you shouldn’t take itadded the former Lille resident. We shouldn’t take stupid goals like that. We must not lose stupid points like those lost this evening. We just have to focus on ourselves. I think we deserved to win. We conceded a lot of chances but we were able to reverse the trend afterwards. Unfortunately, we conceded this goal at the end. So very disappointed and upset. »
Always 2e from L1 a length from PSG, OM could finish this 14th day in 3e place in the event of a victory for Lens in Angers this Sunday. A very bad operation before traveling to Lille next Friday.
