Olympique de Marseille is set to face OGC Nice in an upcoming match for the 30th day of Ligue 1. Alaixys Romao, recently back from a 2013 World Cup qualifier with the Togo Eperviers, will be part of the Marseille squad for this away trip to the Ray stadium. The Togolese midfielder, formerly with Lorient, had previously faced Nice during the first leg phase.
In an interview with om.net, the official website of the club, Romao shared his thoughts on the upcoming match against Nice. He recalled a tense encounter in the past and noted the significant changes in Nice’s playing style compared to the previous season. Romao described Nice as a team that takes risks and emphasized the misconception about their coach Claude Puel being defensive, stating, “When we say of their coach Claude Puel that he is content to play defense, it makes me laugh a little because that was not at all the case in Lorient.” The midfielder’s insights offer a preview of the dynamics expected in the upcoming fixture.
