The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 full-back is excited at the prospect of facing Paris Saint-Germain in Coupe de la Ligue and feels that the game against their arch-rivals means much more than just the result
Marseille and PSG are set to lock horns at Parc des Princes this Wednesday with Coupe de la Ligue on the line this time around. The fierce rivalry between the two sides has added to the excitement building up prior to the game, and a mouth watering encounter
is expected between the two French giants.
While many are of the view that the cup tie isn’t of much significance and the two teams will field under strength side, Marseille defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rod-Fanni-c31402 sees things in a completely different ways.
Talking to reporters, the 30-year-old stated that there is no such thing as a friendly match between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain as there is fierce rivalry between the two clubs. The defender said that the result is obviously important, but there is
so much more at stake when it comes to Le Classique.
"There will never be a friendly match between Marseille and PSG, it means so much more than the result ever could. Personally it stimulates me," he told L'Equipe.
Fanni said that he has spent his entire career in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 so he is aware how serious these things are to the supporters. The player added that Marseille only want to win this game as it will help them in the upcoming matches in the league, and he is not even
thinking about the failure at the moment.
"I'm a child of the country so I know what it means to the fans. When it goes well, the fans are proud, they are elated. I don't even want to think about if it goes wrong."
Talking about Marseille’s postponed game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 at the weekend, Rod Fanni said that it could cause problems for his side in the later stages of the campaign but is confident that OM will cope with that.
"We needed the game against Lyon to make sure there is no mad run of games later in the season. This could be a problem for us."
