– The Strasbourg coach Julien Stephan : “It seemed clear to me that whoever scored first would have a significant advantage. It was a fairly closed game, tactical, with a team block on the low side, with few spaces, very athletically dense. We have the opportunities to take the score and also to equalize with Ludo (Ajorque). Reims came by defending very low, Marseille too. It may be a trend in Meinau for future opponents, we have to prepare for it “.
- THE ANALYSIS OF OUR CONSULTANT CLAUDE SPRENG:
Ludovic Ajorque was for once unhappy at the conclusion. The Reunionese had scored in his last three games at La Meinau, but Racing’s top scorer was silent this time. He missed two opportunities to equalize, first on a curled shot from the right, then especially on a cross from Anthony Caci, which he did not regain sufficiently powerfully three meters from the Marseille goal.
Racing have still not managed to win against Marseille since their return to Ligue 1 in the summer of 2017. They are content with three draws and five defeats.
