Olympique de Marseille suffered another defeat on Saturday night at the Bollaert Stadium, losing 2-1 to RC Lens. Despite a strong start and an opening goal from Mason Greenwood, the Marseille side eventually collapsed, conceding a penalty and then a goal from a corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Captain for the night, Nayef Aguerd delivered a clear and honest analysis after the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we need to stick together. The score doesn\u2019t reflect the game we played. We played well. We\u2019re disappointed with the result \u2014 it came down to small details\u2026 we knew it would be tough at Lens. We showed that we\u2019re capable of taking points away from home, but we conceded goals from a penalty and a corner. We\u2019ll have to correct our mistakes and move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Moroccan defender, who joined OM this summer, also made a point of highlighting the team\u2019s spirit despite this difficult run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe need to be more efficient in both boxes. We started well, we controlled the game, but they were more clinical. I try to bring something extra \u2014 the coach chose me to be captain. I don\u2019t care about the armband, I just really wanted to win this match\u2026 it\u2019s a shame.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this defeat \u2014 their second in a row after the one in the Champions League against Sporting Portugal \u2014 the Marseille players will need to bounce back quickly. The next test is already set for this Wednesday at the V\u00e9lodrome, with Angers coming to town \u2014 a chance to react before heading into a busy run of fixtures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
