NAPLES-MARSEILLE: SOULEYMANE DIAWARA “WE’RE GOING TO TICKLE THEM”
Olympique de Marseille is set to play its 100th Champions League match on this Wednesday. Despite having suffered three consecutive defeats in the tournament so far, the team, led by Elie Baup, is determined to secure their first points in the 4th day match against Napoli in Italy.
While Marseille finds itself trailing behind Arsenal, Napoli, and Borussia Dortmund in the group standings, there is still a chance for potential qualification to the second round. Although the qualification is not guaranteed, a victory against Napoli could reignite Marseille’s hopes.
Looking ahead to the crucial match in Italy, Souleymane Diawara, the Senegalese central defender, emphasizes the team’s commitment, stating, “It’s not recess. When we have the chance to play in the Champions League, we don’t do it as a tourist. We know it will be difficult in Naples, but we will try to tickle them. We have nothing left to lose.”
