This Saturday evening, the Parc des Princes stadium welcomed its players back after the Ballon d’Or ceremony, as Paris Saint-Germain hosted AJ Auxerre for matchday 6 of Ligue 1. This match saw the injury list grow even longer, just days before their trip to Barcelona. Despite this, the Red and Blues prevailed 2-0 against AJA. Lassine Sinayoko, the Auxerre striker, spoke to Ligue1Plus about the defeat:
Sinayoko: “We need to do better on set pieces…”
How do you analyze the defeat?
We came here with the intention of playing well and getting more than just a defeat today. We lost the match on two set pieces. We can say it was a bad performance from our side.
Does the second half give you any hope?
Of course, when we’re losing, we put in more intensity and we had more attacking drive. That goal really hurt us. We need to do better on set pieces because tonight, that’s what really made the match so difficult for us.
