Igor Tudor appreciated the effort of his pupils, who managed to come back from an intense and entertaining match against Toulouse: “I like this type of match, this type of victories where you lose and where you come back.”
Olympique de Marseille won against Toulouse , in an entertaining duel that included the Chileans for 90 minutes. Alexis Sánchez won the fight against Gabriel Suazo, who lived his first match against a compatriot on European soil, and climbed with his squad to second place in Ligue 1. The Phocaeans have 52 units, or five less than PSG.
In this sense, the Marseille coach, Igor Tudor, valued the hard-fought victory against the Pyrenees team, which presented itself as a major obstacle: “It was a difficult match against an excellent team from Toulouse who have a good organization. I must congratulate them for their great fighting spirit. This is a very precious victory ”.
The strategist spoke about the great effort they made in the second half to overcome the duel and explained that they knew how to recover from the poor performance shown in the first half:I told the guys that if we want to win, they have to play a very good second half. Toulouse was really good tonight, we had to finish strong. It was the quality of our players that made the difference ”.
“In the beginning, it’s not uncommon to have one or two underachievers. But this opening night, there were more who were far from their usual performances. We had physical issues this week with some players . It was Ounahi’s first game (as a starter) and Jordan (Veretout) also took a hit early in the game. That’s why we had this start,” added the Croatian.
Finally, he spoke of the importance of knowing how to face a match in which they are starting to lose and assured that his students intended to extend their streak to calmly reach the duel they will play against PSG, leaders of Ligue 1: ” In effect. I like this kind of game, this kind of wins where you lose and you come back . Everything is not perfect, the opposing team is good and it is not easy. The boys wanted to reach the next match (Sunday with the Parisian team) with a victory, being second. Of course, it was better to arrive with that than with a defeat. I once heard a coach say that ”.
