At the end of the first victory of the Olympique de Marseille this season (1-0) against Paris FC, the Marseille coach answered questions from journalists.


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


OM - First win of the season is it fun?

"I think the answer you have in the question. A lot of fun, yes, but [it] must remain humble, even if on one side [it] must be savored also because we waited a long time. It was difficult but nothing is acquired then we are always last. So we will still show humility and continue to work collectively and continue to fight against this bad dynamic. The main thing is to stay well grouped. And to know where we want to go, how we want to go and continue to move the project forward, because the goal is there. "


On tactical choices

"As educator we try with the whole staff also to analyze and reduce as much as possible the uncertainties [about the opponent]. After sometimes it works, sometimes no. Today it worked rather well so we will say that we analyzed better than previous times. "


On Cindy Caputo, decisive setter and revelation of the first half of the Marseille season, and the overall strength

"She's a young player, there were a lot of young players on the field. So we try to do with these young people from our training center or Marseille and its surroundings. After it's like everything, when you win it's good, when you lose it's worse. "


On the wind at the Roger Lebert stadium for this last game of the year

"Playing with or against the mistral can be learned. In the past it was pretty good. This year less, we had even paid for it. But again, dare I say, today we had a little bit more luck and that's what makes the difference. It smiled today while sometimes it does not smile. "

"We had a very good team from Paris FC in front, we must admit. It was important not to indulge, not to do anything and stay organized. After the weather in particular, we had very different game plans in the first and second period. "


Can we say that you reversed the trend with this victory?

" No. No no no. Winning a match in twelve days is far too little for Olympique Marseille. It's far too little for our project. It's far too little for the whole group. So there is still a lot of work to be able to breathe and smile more. "
