Olympique de Marseille will have to be extra vigilant for their first matches this season.
Thionville wants to trap OM
“We show great respect to all our opponents, whatever their level and we expect the same respect in return from all clubs, continued the technician. Today there are many video analysts and extensive staff, so obviously everyone is looking for information, even more so in these clubs where we try not to leave anything to chance. Afterwards we also perhaps arrive at the right time because it will be the resumption, some players will perhaps have left for the CAN and the recruits will not have yet arrived. But in any case I expect an opponent who will respect us, who will do things so as not to be cheated by an amateur team. » The tone is set.
After raising the bar in Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille begins the year 2024 with the traditional round of 32 of the Coupe de France. The Marseille club will face US Thionville-Lusitanos at the Stade Saint-Symphorien in Metz, this Sunday January 7. A match that Little Thumb tackles without the slightest complexion.
“We don’t go there to take photos and exchange jerseys,
launched Julien François, the Thionville coach
. We go there with all the humility, the respect that we have for a club and an institution like Marseille. But also knowing that if Carquefou, Andrézieux, Canet-Roussillon, Grenoble did it in their time, there is no reason why we should not give ourselves the means to compete with them and on a match to create the feat. It is this objective that we must keep in mind. »
