Laurent Blanc (Lyon coach, beaten 2-1 by Marseille): “It’s very cruel. I think the splitting of points would have been fairer. We had a match point, too. The score that would have best reflected the match would have been 1-1. I’m not frustrated by the match, because we are making progress on certain points. But I am frustrated with the result. We had a promising first half but we find ourselves at 1-0 because we made a mistake. You cannot describe this kind of disappointment. We don’t take this point because we don’t do exactly the right thing until the last second. Anthony Lopes was incredible, Pau Lopez was not bad either.
Before adding: “It means that there were chances, a lot of players in the surfaces, offensive projections. It’s football that I love. We bothered them. They take a lot of risks, they play one against one behind. We took risks too but we were not rewarded. Igor sees football like that and that’s very good. But you have to accept to concede a lot. When you take zero points, you are doing a bad operation. Let’s stop watching what’s happening at the neighbor’s, let’s take care of ourselves. Let’s do what we have to do. This will be the case for the remaining six games. We must not project ourselves”. Comments collected at a press conference.
