Disappointed after the defeat in Marseille (1-0) this Sunday, on behalf of the 15th day of Ligue 1, Laurent Batlles particularly regretted the action of the goal of Pol Lirola (24 years, 11 games and 1 goal in L1 this season). The Troyes coach would have liked his defenders to make a “smart mistake” on passer Dimitri Payet (34 years old, 11 games and 6 goals in L1 this season).
“We were looked for (high) Dimitri, after he plays well. The thing is especially that Biancone covers everyone. The others think that Lirola is offside, it stops. ‘We must make a mistake before on Dimitri … If we make a mistake before, maybe the action does not exist, imagined the coach of ESTAC on Prime Video. There should not be the second pass . We have to make an intelligent foul, without aggression, to prevent the through pass. “
It is rather rare to hear a coach openly claiming anti-play from his players.
