The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder is looking forward to the Sunday clash against the league leaders, and is expecting a stern test from the hosts
Les Parisiens travel to Stade Velodrome this Sunday, to take on Elie Baup’s side in their next game of the 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign.
Marseille, who finished the last season on a lowly tenth place, have rediscover their best form this season and are currently 1st in the league.
And Argentine international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082, has set his sights on getting all three points from the game against the Rhone giants, in order to go in front of OM in Ligue 1.
Paris Saint-Germain trail the leaders by three points but have a better goal difference, and a win on Sunday would send Carlo Ancelotti’s men to the top of the table.
While talking to reporters, Pastore said that the clash against their arch-rivals holds a lot of significance and it’s a key match for both clubs. Both PSG and Marseille would want to win this game as it will set the tone for the remainder of the season.
"This is a game that will count," he told http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 Football.
The 23-year-old, who arrived at Parc des Princes from Palermo before the start of the 2011/2012 campaign for a fee believed to be in the region of 40 million Euros, expects a tough game at Stade Velodrome.
The Argentinean said that Les Phoceens are in fine form at the moment and playing them won’t be easy. However, Pastore is upbeat about his side’s chances against the nine-time champions of France, and has urged his teammates to play their natural game on
Sunday.
"We must try to win to go in front (of Marseille in Ligue 1). But it will be difficult, as it was last year."
The former Palermo player added that Paris Saint-Germain have improved this year and they are in better position to win the Championelle this time around.
"Anyway, this year we are confident. Yes, we could lose, of course, like last season. I feel that we will be successful in a big match."
