Ligue 1. At the end of the 21st day of Ligue 1, Paris-Saint Germain is still a solid leader in the standings with eleven points ahead of Nice, which is widening the gap on Marseille, beaten at home by Lille.
16:43 – Gourvennec “satisfied to have shared the points”
“We are satisfied to have shared the points” explained Gourvennec after the draw against Marseille for the 21st day of Ligue 1. But I think that at eleven against eleven, we had control of the match. We couldn’t score the second goal because Lopez made saves. The expulsion is extremely severe and that necessarily changes the situation. We were rigorous, we closed the centre, we pushed them to the sides and we forced them to put the ball where we are strong, in the centre. I’m happy with what I saw but I think we could have played some shots better. It remains a positive evening with a scenario that is rather against us”.
15:45 – Sampaoli: “22 chances to score”
“The transition game puts us in difficulty and we were put in danger. Then in the second half we dominated and we had the chances to score several times, but we didn’t have any success. It seems to me that we had 22 chances to score” regrets Sampaoli.
2:45 p.m. – Oscar Garcia: “We played in haste”
Against a team like Metz, which doesn’t leave a lot of space, you have to have quality, precision in the last meters to be dangerous and that was not the case. We played in haste. On the action of the goal, there is a very clear error, when we knew that Metz was strong on the counter-attack. When we concede a goal, it’s often difficult for us” analyzed Oscar Garcia after the defeat of Reims.
13:45 – Deserved victory according to Antonetti
“We had a difficult first twenty minutes where we were in danger. When you put two young people in the middle of nine seasoned players, they feel safe. When it’s the other way around, it’s a little more complicated. But Gradually, we picked up the thread of the match, we started to recover the balls better, to cause problems for the opposing team” analyzed the coach of Metz after the victory against Reims.
13:00 – Wijnaldum out for three weeks
Injured against Brest, the Dutchman Wijnaldum will be out for around three weeks following a sprained ankle according to the PSG press release.
12:15 – Very small performance for Pelissier
“We did a very small performance. A priori, the fact of not playing for three weeks (because of the Covid) was a handicap. We lacked a lot of rhythm. Faced with a low block, we should have had more speed in our sequences. I felt the players inhibited, that’s what makes me the most angry. So I didn’t know how to remove this inhibition from the players…” analyzed the coach of Lorient.
11:30 – Baticle satisfied with the point obtained by Angers
“I’m satisfied with this point. There was mental quality, great solidarity, self-sacrifice, which allowed us to have defensive solidity. I even have regrets in certain situations, because that we misplayed shots. We had a few chances that could have allowed us to take the three points. And we didn’t concede any very dangerous situations either.”
10:43 – Naivety for Clermont?
Beaten 4-0 by Monaco, the Clermont coach pleads for a little naivety. “They are better than us, they are a strong team in the Championship. But we made two recovery errors in the 47th minute. We were naive […]. But it’s part of who we are and what we do. We paid him cash.”
10:00 – Petkovic takes “all responsibility”
“I take all the responsibility, I failed to push the players enough, to help them free themselves from fear. When you’re scared, you can’t play football. We were scared of ourselves We refused to take responsibility for the game and it led to easy mistakes […] This must not happen again. But I’m a fighter, my astrological sign is the lion, I never give up. It is now up to me to succeed in transmitting this energy to the team.”
09:30 – Genesio happy with the reaction
Difficult for Bruno Genesio not to be satisfied after the 6-0 victory against Bordeaux for the 21st day of Ligue 1. “It’s a good reaction, against an opponent in difficulty, so we have to put things into perspective. But we did what we wanted to do, pretty well overall, even if we still have to do better. There are good signals and good attitudes, to be confirmed. We found our drive to defend together, high, and then project ourselves .”
09:00 – Things to improve for Kehrer
“I think we did a lot of things that we had prepared during the week, especially in building up and creating chances. I think we could still score one or two goals, and on the other side Gigio Donnarumma also saved us once or twice, so we can be happy tonight, it was a good game for us, although we know there are always things to improve.”
08:30 – Donnarumma: “It was a good game”
“It was a good game. It was quite a difficult game, but we were able to show our quality and our style of play in the best way. We could have scored more goals but the important thing is to win , to get three points again and move on. My save? It was a tough save to make. It all comes down to training, how I train for situations in such important matches thanks to the goalkeeping coaches, Toni (Jimenez) and Spino (Spinelli) We trained hard and we anticipated what happened in the game, so it was a good save, but as I have already said, the team can count on me, I will always give my all and together we try not to concede, that is the objective of every game, because we are going to score, we have a great team that can score at all times, so that’s the objective, not to concede a goal. And today we achieved that – and we hope to continue co even that in the next matches.”
08:00 – Pochettino satisfied
“In the second half, we played better as a team. I’m happy with the application of all the players, and especially their understanding of the positions, which allowed us to play more fluidly. […] No news for Wijnaldum (out injured at halftime). We hope it’s not too serious. He will take exams. […] It’s not an easy game against a team that plays well in transition and plays low. I am satisfied, we have worked a lot this week, and we will continue next week.”

At the end of the 21st day of Ligue 1, PSG is still largely leader of the French championship with 11 points ahead of OGC Nice thanks to its 2-0 victory against Brest.
