Togolese international Alaixys Romao, a player for Marseille, remains optimistic about their chances, emphasizing that while the high-profile signings of other clubs may receive more attention, Marseille has the potential to create surprises. Romao acknowledges the financial investments made by other teams but believes that Marseille has the weapons to compete and aims to raise their level of play to be on par with the top contenders in the championship.
