Ligue 1 is back! This evening, OGC Nice and Stade Rennais launch the 17th day of the French championship, the first in 2025. And the weekend will end with an attractive duel on the pitch of the Stade Vélodrome between Olympique de Marseille and Le Haven. Alongside this poster, Quentin Merlin, the Marseille left-back, was present at a press conference. The opportunity for him to display his ambition for this new year, including the desire to once again become the boss at home.
“No one can take points in Marseille anymore”
“Le Havre is a team that is in difficulty, 17th in the standings. We must continue as we did against Monaco and Lille. We have to take this match seriously, not neglect certain things and show that we are the bosses at the Vélodrome. We must show that no one can take points in Marseille anymore“, he first indicated, before looking at his first part of the season marked in particular by a nasty injury: “I did a good preparation, but the injury with the selection stopped me. Today I no longer have any discomfort, I feel good physically and mentally. In Nantes I was a piston, I played like that. It's a role that suits me well, I enjoy it. I'm having fun, I'm performing well, I complement each other with Adrien (Rabiot), I like it and it suits my profile“, added the former Canary, who intends to capitalize on his goal against Lille: “The goal against Lille gave me confidence, I want to score more. To be decisive, to continue with the performances that we are doing… We must continue this type of action and finish them“.
