Dezelby: I don t think Kavajal should have taken the red card, and we should have played more courageously after that

In the first round of the Champions League held this morning, Marseille lost 1-2 away to Real Madrid. Marseille coach Dezelby was interviewed after the game.

Dezelby first said: "I am very disappointed that we could have won this game. There are many new players in our team, and it is not easy to find a tacit understanding between them. I think we can do more, and I have said that to my players. This is not a criticism because they have tried their best, but we do have a chance to win."

In the 72nd minute of this game, Real Madrid captain Carvajal was sent off with a red card. Dezelby first said: "I won't award this red card, but the rules are rules. But I think it shouldn't be a red card when it's on the head, and that's what I think. Is there any controversy? I don't know, they didn't tell me anything."

The score on the court was 1-1, but with one more player on the court, Marseille failed to strengthen the offense, but was scored by Real Madrid to overtake the score. Dezelby continued: "We shrunk a little on the court and then let go of the kick. After Kavajal was sent off, we failed to push 20 to 30 meters forward to win. This was the time we should have taken the risk, after all, it's only September."

After Kavajal was sent off, Marseille seemed satisfied with a draw. Dezelby said: "I don't know what was missing at that time... But after Caravajal was sent off, we should have been bolder, and I expected to see more. Although there was only 8 minutes between that red card and the second penalty, I wanted to see more courage, including myself, because I wanted to send four forwards at that time... It's time to do so."

Finally, Dezelby said: "This kind of game should be the norm. Come to the Bernabeu Stadium and adapt to this different atmosphere will have different impacts on us, allowing us to go further in terms of ambition and self-awareness, and regard ourselves as a great club in the future."
