The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 midfielder has said that he does not have time to care about the rival club’s stars and has said that Les Phoceens will be highly motivated against the capital side
On October 7, 2012, Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain will play the first Ligue 1 Clasico of the season at the Stade Velodrome. The game between the two eternal rivals promises to be a feisty encounter considering the shift of dynamics in recent
months.
Last season, when Olympique de Marseille were struggling to even draw games, Paris Saint-Germain were involved in a gripping battle for the right to be champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 with Montpellier Herault. Although Carlo Ancelotti’s men lost the title in the last
few weeks of the campaign, the Parisians have now invested a lot of money to bring in a plethora of stars.
The arrival of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 has made PSG genuine title contenders. However, the first six weeks of the 2012/2013 Ligue 1 Championnat has seen a twist in the plot.
After winning all of their opening games, Marseille are on top of the Ligue 1 standings with 18 points. PSG on the other hand, made quite a mess of their first three games of the season before coming back to their senses in the previous three.
It is now safe to say that two of the in-form teams will face each other in a few weeks’ time and the clash promises to be an entertaining one for fans of both sides. In Week 7 of the Championnat, Marseille will play against Valenciennes but most of the
attention is towards the biggest game of the campaign.
However, despite the game being billed as one of the fixtures not to miss, Amalfitano has said that he is least bothered about PSG and its stars and says that last season, Marseille won the game against their bitter rivals despite all their woes.
“Last season, when we hosted them, we were in a difficult position and yet we won. This kind of match motivates us to give 2000%. I do not have too much fear this season. And then, PSG and its stars, I do not care a bit.”
