Christophe Pelissier, coach of Auxerre, beaten by Marseille and 17th in Ligue 1: "I can't absolve myself of this."

"Can we be satisfied with the content or does the result prevail?"

The result matters, given our current position. We're in matchday 11 and a lot of situations are repeating themselves. Against Monaco (1-2), Lens (1-2), we played well but lost. It's true we're not getting the reward we deserve, but maybe we're simply not good enough. We've had a week without scoring a single goal (a 3-0 defeat in Strasbourg on Wednesday), it's difficult to win matches. This (Saturday) evening, there was an opportunity to score. We're where we should be (17th). We have zero points this week, and in the end, we're judged on points.

Is this period affecting some players? We know that when we're in this kind of situation, things aren't going our way. We saw another disastrous refereeing performance tonight. We have a player seriously injured (Lasso Coulibaly), the opposing player (Robinio Vaz) gets a yellow card. And then he has the nerve to give a second yellow (to Sinaly Diomandé) in the 94th minute, it's like he was enjoying himself. (Sarcastically) I hope he gets a good grade. The referee didn't do his job. He didn't protect the players' safety.

Does the judgment concern you as well? Of course. When you're in this position in the standings, I can't absolve myself of that. My situation isn't the most important thing. If decisions are made... My only position is to make sure we conserve energy so we can improve and win matches. The rest is beyond my control. We need to clear our heads. The locker room was devastated.
