The team of
Olympique de Marseille wants to struggle for a better trend, when it will play against the
AS Monaco in the eight round of the
Ligue 1 on Sunday. After two defeats, one with 2:3 at Valenciennes and the other with 0:3 against Real de Madrid in the Champions League, the Olympiens, as they are named in France, want to do a better job this time. The players of coach
Didier Deschamps have to replicate what they have shown in the first half an hour in the capital of Spain.
In the last games the Marseilles were insecure in the defense. They didn't play in a bad manner generally, but they finished with to many goals against them. After the words of the midfielder
Fabrice Abriel "not everything is totally negative if you lose". But now the international starting team has to confirm the good phases of the match against Real de Madrid. If it can, the players around Fernando Morientes will find again the success.
The club of Olympique de Marseille who is on the
fourth position in the french championship at the moment, stays five points behind the leader
Girondins de Bordeaux. If the team wants to be on the top, it has to win. For Didier Deschamps the match brings even other interesting circumstances, because he has started his career as coach on the bench of the AS Monaco. So his team should have enough motivation to reach all three points, even when the adversary has a good team too.
