PSG/Paris FC – Gilli proud, but rues missed derby chances | OneFootball

This 17th day of Ligue 1 had a special flavor for the Parisian people, who after 47 years, witnessed a derby between the two clubs of the capital. Indeed, this Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Paris FC. And despite a very compact block from the PFC side, the Red and Blue managed to win and uphold the hierarchy (2-1, see the video summary). Stéphane Gilli, coach of Paris Football Club, spoke to L1+ about this derby and this defeat:

Gilli: "I am proud of the image we left"

You have nothing to be ashamed of?

That's what I told my players, I am proud of their performance, even though at halftime I told them we lacked precision and personality, on three or four balls we need to be more precise, which we did better in the second half. Afterwards, we had a few situations and a bit more control. We can't be satisfied with this defeat but against this great team, it's encouraging.

Are you proud even though Luis Enrique was complaining about his players' lack of control?

Yes, moreover, I was missing a few players. I am proud of the players who played and gave a good image of the club. As the match progressed, we freed ourselves more. It's good to have been able to equalize but then we conceded a second goal. I am proud of the image we left after many years without a derby. I can't be satisfied with the defeat but we did well.
