I’m not afraid to say it. We are very happy because we had a very good match. We earned the respect of all the teams. They are all waiting for us in their half of the field”declared the Argentinian goalkeeper in the mixed zone, after the victory in Brittany.
OM, hope keeps us alive
And the Albiceleste international continued: “I know that for the media, it’s quite easy to attack teams, particularly OM, but we have great confidence in ourselves. There will be complicated moments, the season is long. But we have objectives and we know that we have the quality, the work and the team cohesion to have a great season. We believe in it and we have always believed in it, even in difficult times.”
In the race for qualifying places for the next Champions League, OM are very well on their way. With five points ahead of AS Monaco, six over OGC Nice and seven over LOSC, the Marseille club has a comfortable cushion over its pursuers.
