Marseille manager Marcelo Bielsa had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Goal): "Winning always brings joy and tranquillity. We had several good opportunities [against Guingamp] and we managed to score. After going in front, we controlled the game pretty well. Defensively, the team played well and individually, the players did the job."
"We could have scored more goals because we had a number of good chances," he added. "The team defended very well and also constructed good attacks, but on the other hand, we didn't finish well. Guingamp had two chances to score, once from a constructed attack, once from a set piece, but they have good attackers."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Nice's Romain Genevois has served as a stalwart defender thus far this season. The 26-year-old is averaging an impressive 3.3 tackles and 7.7 clearances per match .
