Igor Tudor (OM) after the victory over Sporting: “We can start dreaming” – L’Équipe

“What did you think of this meeting?
It’s a fantastic performance. We had a very good game, from start to finish, we deserved the three points. With these six units on the clock, we can start dreaming of a promotion to the next round, two days before the end of the group stage. But the classification is tight, the four teams can still qualify for the round of 16. “We have four days between now and the next match, plenty of time to recover and have another good game on Sunday” With this ideal scenario, facing Sporting reduced to ten, then to nine, you were also able to prepare for the Classic, Sunday, and rest some players…
Yes, at 2-0, and with two more players, I had some leeway. The pace in the last thirty minutes was not too high, and the substitutes did not have to dip into their reserves. We have four days between now and the next match, plenty of time to recover and achieve another great meeting on Sunday. With these two victories against Sporting, OM can really qualify for the next round. Do you feel enthusiasm, determination in your training and in your staff?
Confidence is high, the team seems to me to be in a good moment, and in very good physical condition. Yesterday (Tuesday), on the eve of the meeting, three or four players came to see me to tell me: ”Don’t worry, coach, tomorrow, we will be there, we will win. was a good time, beautiful sensations. Today, everything is open, we have these two meetings, we are going match after match, and we will see what happens. But it’s good to be in this position, and we’re all happy to be in it. What did you think of Amine Harit’s performance?
He was impressive today. He’s a fantastic guy, with him in the team, we feel that he likes it, that this game suits him, that’s what he likes. He has great ball control, he can steer the game as he pleases, move between the lines, he has the technical skills to combine with others. He really made the difference tonight. A word on Chancel Mbemba, still impeccable tonight?
He is a silent leader, he is really very important in the dressing room. In our system, it is fundamental. He has been very good since the first day of the Championship, he has already scored two goals in the various competitions. He gives us experience, he knows how to drive the ball and move the block forward. »
