OM's ratings – Saint-Étienne

Dario (Benedetto) has really adapted well. There, he gives us the goal of victory. It brings us a lot in the possession, it picks up, it delivers, it is really very important for us today (Sunday)… Alvaro, it's the same, he has a grinta natural, it helps us and it allows everyone to follow him in the commitment.

The departure of Luiz Gustavo? It's a loss for sure. I am attached to him, I appreciate him very much as a player and as a man, if he leaves, it will be a disappointment but it is his choice and I respect him. "

"Benedetto does us a lot of good" – Morgan Sanson (OM)

Morgan Sanson (middle OM): "It's a good week, two victories against direct competitors, we'll have a more peaceful truce. We showed that we were solid leading to the score. My decisive pass is good for me because I'm not very happy with my start of the season. The game, we will work, it will come. Dario, he did not have the best adaptation possible with his penalty missed but he responded mentally by scoring on the next two matches. He does us a lot of good.

André Villas-Boas (OM): "A magnificent performance"

I would also like to thank Luiz Gustavo, he has taught me a lot personally, I hope he will continue to do beautiful things. I wish him a good continuation for the future. Me, this summer, it was not simple, I was quoted in several clubs, there were offers, but now the transfer window is over and I'm 100% with OM. "
