Olympique de Marseille is set to face AS Monaco in the concluding match of the 4th day of Ligue 1. Souleymane Diawarra, part of the Marseille group and enjoying a strong start to the championship, is expected to play a crucial role in the Marseille defense to contain the attacking prowess of Monaco, especially the star striker Radamel Falcao.
While Diawarra expresses his enthusiasm about facing top-class players like Falcao, he emphasizes that he does not plan to alter his approach for this high-profile encounter. In an interview with RMC, he stated, “I’m very happy to be able to face world-class players like that. But whether I play against a less media player or a star, I concentrate in the same way. I don’t underestimate anyone, I respect all attackers. Last week, I was criticized by saying that I was going to play against Pujol, then against Falcao. For me, there is no difference. I will do everything I can to ensure that we simply do not concede a goal.”
Diawarra’s commitment and focus on defensive solidity underline the team’s determination to secure a positive result against AS Monaco.
