Ligue 1 - Marseille - PSG, célébrations des joueurs de l'OM
Olympique de Marseille coach Didier Deschamps has expressed his delight with his team's 3-0 Ligue 1 victory at home over Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening.
Goals from Loic Remy, Morgan Amalfitano and Andre Ayew helped OM to maximum points and Deschamps was all smiles after the final whistle.
"To beat PSG is quite an achievement. I can smile now. Winning this sort of game is important. It is very pleasing to see the team produce a performance like that," Deschamps was quoted as saying on the official Ligue 1 website.
"We needed to be efficient. These kind of games are usually won thanks to the individual talent and technique of the players but they are also won in the head, mentally. So it is very satisfying and the players are happy."
Deschamps believes this win will catapult the team back into the title race.
"We have the quality, now we need to show it, we need to be able to link it all together but it is tricky to make the players understand that the team comes first. In France it is all a question of mentality," said Deschamps.
Marseille currently sit ninth in the Ligue 1 table with 21 points from 15 games while PSG are second with 30 points.
