After the first win of the season for Marseille against Paris FC, Caroline Pizzala returned with Hearts of Foot on the performance of his team, his current low position and his vision for the future for OM.


The summary of this match => OM-Paris FC (1-0): OM ends the year with a victory


"I do not know, at the level of management, how they will approach this winter break. After if we can have one or two reinforcements we will not spit on it. I think that it could do us good. But we know that it is difficult to find, even in the big clubs we see, they are many foreign, [international]. So does the club have the opportunity to recruit [to] the international? I do not know. After, we saw on this match, against an experienced team, we managed to win 1-0 with this group there, so it's good, the machine is launched. But reinforcements will not hurt and can only improve the group "


Very satisfied with this beautiful victory 1-0?

Of course, it feels good to be able to win. This is the first victory this season, it is good and it comes at the right time, before the holidays. Even if it is true that we would have preferred to have it a little earlier, we will not spit on it. We are happy to have done this today.


In the first period you cash a lot, in second you had more the game to your account. The coach gave special instructions at half time?

No, after we're used to it Since the beginning of the season we play in these conditions. We knew that with the wind against us in the first half, it was going to be gusts repeatedly, we suffered a lot. After the goal was not to take a goal, and to be able to do something in the second half. And that's exactly the scenario that happened.


Even you in your positioning, you changed, you passed defender. Is this a job where you feel better?

For the sake of the team, it was wanted. After personally it's not my favorite post but at this time of the year, with so few points, I play where the coach finds me the most powerful. So if it's behind, there are no worries.


So, you feel more calm and posed in your game.

Yes it is true, to have a little more perspective, it allows me to have more time to see come and put good balls in the back of the defenders or find the pass between two. So I know it's thoughtful of the staff [this choice to play in defense] so I have to adapt. [And] then, we win today so that's fine.


Do you think you'll be in this job for a long time?

When it works, we usually go away again. After, early January, we will have a match in the Coupe de France to prepare and we'll see where I would be positioned. The main thing is to play. I had years in Paris where I played little, then I found playing time playing behind. This is not the case at OM but the main thing remains to play. Some do not play and I know it's hard to be in that situation. So even if I play behind, I take.


Has the first click for OM not been against Lyon?

Paris [Saint-Germain] and Lyon, we made two very good first half. There was a compact block and that's what we try to repeat every game. Today it was the case and the difference is that we managed to keep it throughout the match. This is what we should do on the next matches to chase the victories and especially not to lose at home.


Have you questioned yourself lately? Because it's hard to go from fourth place last year to last season.

It is certain that the accounting situation is difficult. I have rarely been in this situation. But we knew that at one point, it was going to be reversed because there were still some content and good players. We did not have that little bit of luck that we had maybe earlier last year. Today luck was on our side, they [the players of Paris FC] take a post, a missed opportunity alone in front of goal. After that, I was sure that something was going to happen [in our favor] and now I hope that 2018 will be a little smoother.


Do you think you can get out of the relegation zone?

Yes, I think, we really have a quality squad and there are teams who are ahead of me who, for me, play less well than us, [with] less than what we can propose to the Olympique de France. Marseille. It was missing a victory, we had it and I think it should be better in 2018. Then we must not ignite either, especially since there is the truce unfortunately. It falls bad, I would have preferred that we can chained behind. Foreign women will go home, girls will go back to their area So, I hope they will manage this truce better so that we can all leave with good intentions and be able to reiterate the performance we have made today.
