The president of Olympique de Marseille made a very strong statement, before the club’s next deadlines.
It’s a highly anticipated event in the Marseille city. Thursday, Olympique de Marseille will host Atalanta Bergamo in the semi-final first leg of the Europa League (9 p.m.).
For this meeting, the Marseille club intends to count on its supporters and its European culture in order to tame this formidable Italian team. A team that Pablo Longoria knows perfectly, as an informed observer of Serie A.
Longoria puffs out her chest!
This Tuesday, the president of Olympique de Marseille gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport. He did not hesitate to proclaim his ambitions, loud and clear, when looking ahead to this first round against the Bergamo club.
“OM is a passionate team, a unique environment in Europe. Hats off to Atalanta for victory at Anfield against Liverpool (3-0, quarter-final first leg). But on Thursday, they will experience hell at the Vélodrome. If only home matches counted, we would be second in Ligue 1. We had problems away,” launched Pablo Longoria. Gasperini’s men have been warned.
