A qualification after a 4-0 defeat in a 1/8 final first leg of the European Cup is déjà vu in Spain. But Éric Bailly would like to experience that too. A week after the heavy defeat suffered by Villarreal against OM at the Vélodrome (4-0), the Ivorian is revengeful and hopes to turn the tide, regardless of the means used by his team as he confided to Provence.
“We must try to make a comeback even if it will be very difficult. The most important thing is to show what we did in the championship. Having conceded four goals, everyone thinks we are already eliminated from this competition. We’ve done this kind of thing before, you never know what could happen, confided the former Marseillais. And to continue: my feeling is to be present on the ground, to show a good image and a good face, which we did not do on the way out. If we thought we’d conceded 4 goals in the first leg, we wouldn’t have even traveled. It’s football, we are aware of that, we have to see how we can turn the situation around on Thursday.»
