Without Paris, everyone is a favorite
Jorge Sampaoli, Marseille coach, spoke ahead of Wednesday's match, noting that after the elimination of PSG, everyone is a favorite and that not only Nice will be looking for the cup, but also Monaco.
"Everyone is a favorite when Paris is eliminated. We will do everything we can to keep dreaming. But Nice and Monaco also want to win the cup. I would have liked to see our supporters in Nice. It's unfair. We excluded some to include others. If OM supporters are not there, it's because they are considered suspicious. We all have to be there to satisfy the club and the city. We have to represent the club as well as we can.
Nice absentees
Midfielder Pablo Rosario is now available for Nice, Jordan Amavi has a sprained knee and Youcef Atal has broken his collarbone. Danilo is also still unavailable as he continues to test positive for Covid-19.
Nearly 100 matches
Nearly a hundred matches under Claude Puel and then Lucien Favre (92 in all competitions between 2013 and 2017), 5 goals, a vision of play and a technical finesse above the melee. Mathieu Bodmer did honor to the red-and-black jersey. Putting first his high-level experience at the service of keeping the Aiglons in the elite in 2014.
No doubts
Marseille striker Arkadiusz Milik mentioned that not playing and being on the bench have been difficult for him because when he doesn't play he loses confidence, even so, he knows what he is capable of.
"Not playing and being on the bench is not easy. I focused on the things I could improve in training, I worked twice as hard. When the opportunity came, I was ready and it was important. I'm not happy when I'm not playing. Finally, I was happy after my performance. I know what I am capable of and I know how to play soccer. I didn't doubt it, but when you don't play, you lose confidence. I tried to train more to regain confidence. Goals are what help you the most to regain confidence. I have always believed in myself.
Milik close to Spain
RCD Mallorca is looking to save itself from relegation based on good signings in this winter market, so it is in search of striker Milik from Marseille, but Sevilla is another interested party. Marseille have rejected the loan offers of the two Spanish teams and have asked for 10 million euros to take him immediately.
