It is a rather satisfied Christophe Galtier who appeared in front of the media after the draw of LOSC against AC Milan (1-1). A result less good than going to San Siro (3-0) but which allows to keep the lead of the group of Europa League. “When you’re behind and you can come back to the score against Milan, it’s already good. The players had that merit. We had a very closed game in the first period. I wasn’t very surprised. Milan closed the spaces and got into a transition game to open our squad block. Our transitions were average in the first half. As of the resumption, we took a good blow with the stick on the head. There, we can fear the worst. But from then on, we put more commitment, determination, play forward. We were able to equalize. The team blocks then began to split in two. We had to stay balanced. It could have flipped from one side to the other. We could have been more dangerous at the end. ”
“I’m not saying we have to be happy with this draw, but it’s AC Milan leading Calcio. It gives us hope for good things in the upcoming matches. We revived Sunday against Lorient. This match against Milan was expected. There may also have been a bit of tension. But in the end, we take 4 points against Milan in the double confrontation. It must be appreciated at its true value. There are some hot regrets, we could have been more fair and efficient. But we are there, we do not lose, we take points. ”
“We will think about who will play against Saint-Etienne”
The LOSC coach also gave an update on the injured and planned on the trip to Saint-Etienne on Sunday: “We try to maintain our model and our principles of play. After that, what happens with the other French European teams, they are in the Champions League. And last year in the Champions League we suffered a lot, we ended up with a point. It’s a different competition, much, much more difficult. There is nothing to gargle about what we are doing in the Europa League, I hope we will qualify “.
“Zeki Çelik will be absent for a few more games. I have three full-backs at my disposal, two left-handed and one right-handed. I also know that Tiago Djalo can help us in this position. He works, well, has a good mindset. We will reflect on who will play against Saint-Etienne and Sparta on Thursday. “
