Olympique de Marseille have been handed a tough task in the quarterfinal of the Champions League. Les Phoceens will take on German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich who are in a rich vein of form right now. The game is certainly a tough one.
After ousting a prestigious club in Inter Milan, Marseille would be looking to do the same again. However, the Rhone giants are far from their former level and will have their work cut out when they face the Bavarians.
And while the final of the competition will take place at the Allianz Arena, Jupp Heynckes' men will be motivated as ever to feature in that final. Furthermore, the Bavarians are brimming with an attacking side that contains the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521, Mario
Gomez, Franck Ribery and Thomas Muller.
At a press conference, Didier Deschamps was full of praise for his side’s opponents. The Frenchman says that his team will face a solid side that has a lot of experience in the Champions League. Deschamps added that the team plays with a lot of speed and
though admitted they have a few problems, chose not to disclose them.
“If they have a few problems, I will not talk about them here. I saw a few matches, we’ll see about that. They are louder than Dortmund and there is more experience and more international players.”
However, the former Juventus manager has refused to admit defeat and is looking forward to have another scalp in the Champions League.
Against all odds, Marseille were able to beat Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park. That win took the team beyond the group phases and Deschamps feels that his side can repeat the feat once again.
Marseille’s form in the league has been poor to say the least but in Europe, Deschamps’ men have certainly out done themselves. Against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, the side soaked up all the pressure and this ability will once again be tested when they face an in-form
Bayern Munich.
