As his side takes on Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique de Marseille coach Didier Deschamps would be looking to help his side return to winning ways after a calamitous month of March
Following their Champions League and Coupe de France ousting, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130.
If the latter allows Les Phoceens to win some silverware, Didier Deschamps is not neglecting his side’s Championnat ambitions.
Olympique de Marseille have not won a single game in their last 10 outings. The Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 quarterfinal defeat against Quevilly and the Champions League defeats against Bayern Munich include that run and Didier Deschamps knows that his side needs to
turn things around.
A discussion took place between player to set all their difference aside and gain some decent momentum for a positive end to the campaign. As things stand, the Rhone side are in ninth place in the Ligue 1 standings.
Qualification for the Champions League is surely unlikely and Europa League qualification would also be hard to attain given the distance between them and teams that are already occupying Europa League berths.
Though the final at the Stade de France against Lyon is important, Deschamps says that there are other games that would be as important for his team.
On Sunday, Marseille play against bitter rivals Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. After winning the reverse tie 3-0, PSG would be looking to return the compliment. Fully aware of his side’s poor form, Deschamps knows that despite the recent form
of PSG, his side should not think ahead of themselves.
“Sunday’s game means a lot to the club, the city and the fans. I do not need to boost the players for this appointment against Paris. We cannot say Paris is in a bad situation. It happens! Ancelotti is someone I like and I’ve always had good contact with
him. PSG have offensive players who can make the difference at any time. The fact that there are no Marseille fans going to Paris is an anomaly even though I understand there are security reasons.”
