Olympique de Marseille’s Didier Deschamps believes his side can still win the title – Ligue 1 news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 at Stade de Gerland on Sunday, May 8. However, Didier Deschamps, L’OM manager, believes that his side can still defend their title successfully.
Deschamps’ men are currently placed second in the league table, trailing the league leaders Lille OSC by four points. With 12 points left to play for in the season, Les Phoceens have a good chance to retain their title and be crowned the French champions
at the end of the term.
The 42-year-old tactician remains hopeful that his side can sit atop the pile again, but he knows that the task at hand has become very difficult to achieve after his side could only secure a solitary point from a possible six in the last two games; the
defending champions’ encounter against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AJ-Auxerre-c38247 ended in a 1-1 stalemate last week.
Deschamps said, “We've just taken one point from two matches, and that doesn't make things any easier for us. There are still 12 points to play for, so it is still possible. But, it is tougher than it was a week ago. I still believe in
our chances and, as long as it is possible, we will give it a real go.”
The reigning Ligue 1 champions will take on Stade Brestois 29 in front of their home crowd on Wednesday, May 11, While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lille-OSC-c39800 will clash with AS Saint-Etienne at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on Tuesday, May 10. Deschamps’ men will be the favourites to bag
all points in their encounter, but the league leaders will have to perform at their to secure full points against an impressive Les Verts.
Deschamps would be hoping that the league leaders lose points in their away encounter and his troops secure all three points to trim down the lead at the top and keep their title hopes alive. Anything less than three point for L’OM will all but end the club’s
title aspirations for the season.
