Following the defeat of his team against Paris Saint-Germain (4-0), the coach of Olympique Marseille, Christophe Parra presented himself in a mixed zone in a heavy atmosphere. Always focused on the goal of maintenance, he was somewhat annoyed by the songs of Paris fans, and defends his daughters who have done honor to the jersey and the colors of the OM.
"At the sight of our ranking, since we are last (...), play such a team, with such individualities, such a collective and a coach of high quality on the sporting level and on the human plain, it becomes more and more complicated. (...) We fight for the maintenance and we will fight to the end. "
On arbitration:
"I'm waiting to see the pictures but there is still a penalty a little harsh for my taste. After I do not want to get carried away, I'm waiting to see the pictures. Also on the goal we mark. It's not much, but for me it's important, for the players too, in terms of their investment. They are determined to maintain this objective of maintaining and proudly representing Olympique de Marseille. That's a lot, if that goal was valid. After do not be angry if I'm wrong, I have not yet had the chance to see the pictures again. If this is the case, it could have given another face even if I think that the PSG is much better than the Olympique de Marseille. "
On the Olympian game:
"We could have hoped for better, especially in the use of the ball. In the first half, there are situations where we lacked quality in certain game choices. We ran out of speed to get around the PSG block. After I think that the girls even if they are "connasses" [in reference to the songs of Parisian fans ed], the girls have proudly and proudly represented Olympique de Marseille and women's football. "
Exactly, what do you think of these songs against your team?
"It's true it was a special atmosphere. It's good to find people around a high-level women's game. A "Clasico" as many like to describe it. After unfortunately, we tend to the wrong side. Of course there is only one football, the beauty of the sport is universality, and I fight every day not to set apart the women's game. Nevertheless we were safe from certain things, and I find it disappointing. I'm not a lecturer, but I think that the PSG stands ... I'm sorry, but we have an audience that is really better in our little Roger Lebert stadium in Marseille. It's incomparable. "
This is the black point of the match?
"Very sincerely the black spot is not having found the solution or solutions to beat the PSG. We came here to beat PSG, even if we can find that pretentious and take me for a crazy, we came here to take points. Unfortunately, I have not found the solutions for this. "
Maëlle Lakrar was touched at the end of the match, can you tell us more?
"There is a knee problem. She can walk, so hopefully it will not be too bad. "
Regarding the future:
"At the end of the last day, I would allow myself to answer your questions on the orientations, on a report of season. For now, we will stay focused on the goal of maintenance as it was drawn at the beginning of the season, and last year. As I often say, there is a time to sew and a time to unravel. For now we will try to continue sewing, even if it is complicated. "
