A final before its time or almost. This Tuesday evening, Olympique de Marseille and Lille face each other in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France at the Stade Vélodrome. A clash between two big Ligue 1 teams aiming for the final and the title at the end of the season. For this, Roberto De Zerbi will rely on his strong men at the start of the season, Mason Greenwood, Luis Henrique and Adrien Rabiot. While the draw seemed complicated for OM, the Italian technician had no preference between facing a Ligue 1 team or a lower division club: “I thought it was more important to know if we play at home, which is the case. It depends on what we want to do. We want to win this Cup. We have to eliminate strong teams like LOSC, whether now or later, maybe it will be easier later..
At a press conference, the transalpine coach did not hide his ambitions. He wants to play in the final and win a title with Olympique de Marseille: “Of course, we live to win. Afterwards, talking about the title, we must first talk about tomorrow's match. The Coupe de France final is still very far away. We have to think match by match. We have to make a big match tomorrow, like against Strasbourg on Sunday The Coupe de France is a path to winning a title, we are all here for that. Before winning, we have to build without making calculations and thinking that the championship is harder or not. earn”.
The people of Lille present to spoil the party?
While Vito Mannone should occupy the Lille cages, Bruno Génésio awaits his players at the turn this evening. Starting with the attackers who the Lille coach did not fail to point out during the press conference: “I expect more efficiency because that's what we've been lacking in the last few matches, but I think that we also have efficiency when we do a little more. In the game, I don't can't say that I'm disappointed with what we're doing, but I find that in the last matches, we're missing that extra soul, that extra aggressiveness to transform a draw into a victory, especially in the last two matches, if we only take the last two matches And I think. that this is a bit of what we are missing today. And perhaps the situation of each person, and for different and varied reasons, can also be a mental obstacle to being able to do even more than what we have. we do, to have even more than what we have today as a result”.
While the two teams remained back-to-back in the league on December 14, Bruno Génésio expects a different meeting this Tuesday evening: “What is certain is that it is a match where there will be no make-up, unlike the championship where we can make up for things because there are still 17 days left. There, there are none. There will be one team that will be in the draw and one that will watch the draw on TV without being there. not long there, who will maybe not similar because the cut is a little bit different context But I still think that there will be a lot of similarities because I'm not convinced that they, like us, will change much. their way of playing and we showed that we were capable of standing up to them, or even doing much better than standing up to them, because over the whole match, we may even have some regrets at the end of not doing so. 'have taken away'.
The technician from the northern club is clear: he believes in qualification. “So we're going to go there with a lot of humility because they remain one of the best teams in the championship. They are at home and we know the importance of the Vélodrome in these matches, but also with confidence and by playing our game and playing to our strengths.”he declared.
