Deschamps: "We should have won"
19/02/2012
Olympique de Marseille coach Didier Deschamps was left wondering what might have been after his side were held to a 1-1 draw by Valenciennes FC on Saturday.
Olympique de Marseille 1 - 1 Valenciennes FC 
Didier Deschamps (Marseille coach): I am disappointed with the result given all the chances we had. We hit the bar and the post and I think that Valenciennes were fortunate. They scored from a free kick, which was kind of messy. We had a good first half but couldn't take advantage and get a second goal so these two points dropped is hard to take. In the past we have scraped some draws but tonight we had what it took to win. We wanted to win, we played well in parts and we owed it to ourselves to win. Unfortunately it wasn't the case, from Sunday I will start thinking about the Inter Milan game but from what I saw [tonight] we should have won this game"
Daniel Sanchez (Valenciennes coach) : "A draw, for us, is a good result, we were very good defensively. The second half was better than the first when we defended well but were a little timid with the ball. OM are a very complete team from back to front and of course they have this game against Inter Milan coming up but I still think they wanted to win this evening. Most of our rivals in the bottom half of the table won't take many points off Marseille so come the end of the season this will be an important result.
