Mathieu Valbuena was quite disappointed with Olympique de Marseille’s performance and the defeat to PSG in the closing match of the 9th day of Ligue 1. Valbuena expressed his frustration on Canal+ after the match, highlighting some concerns about the team.
Valbuena mentioned a recurring issue this season, emphasizing that despite being told they’re not far off, the team tends to fall short in crucial moments. He suggested that there might be a lack of readiness to face top teams, especially those that capitalize on half-chances. Valbuena pointed out that the team may have rested on their laurels after taking the lead and expressed disappointment in the team’s inability to maintain their advantage.
It appears Valbuena sees room for improvement and perhaps a need for the team to address issues related to concentration and resilience, particularly against strong opponents.
