Pavard Warns: Avoid Complacency After Lorient Win | Football News

For his first tenure with OM, the international defender made the velodrome vibrate by scoring a goal.

With a stronghold of new players, including Benjamin Pavard, scorer for his beginnings, OM easily beat Lorient 4-0 Friday at the opening of the 4th day of Ligue 1 and thus reassured himself before the big meetings of the coming week. With only three small points in three games, OM has missed its month of August and absolutely needed Friday to win and succeeded in a good match before turning to the week in very high altitude that awaits it.

At the end of the match, Benjamin Pavard – author of the second Marseille goal for his first tenure – confided in the microphone of Ligue 1 +: “I am very happy with my first here at the Vélodrome, in addition to scoring this goal. There was my wife who was in the stands. I am very proud, but also of the team because we made a big game. We did not underestimate them and despite the red, we continued to play our game so very proud of the team. Now we are going to rest because there are important matches that arrive. The constant pressing? It is a request from the coach, to have a possession game as soon as you lose the ball, to try to recover it as quickly as possible. ”

And the French international to add: “We took the time to keep the ball not to rush so I am very happy so so you will have to rest. My physical condition? I felt well. I will gain power, because it was missing a little legs, because everything has accelerated in the last days of the transfer window. I feel good in this team. I was very well received by Medhi (Benatia), the president, the staff and the players too. There is a very good atmosphere so I am very happy to be here. We must not ignite, it’s just a match and we have important matches that arrive. “
