On the eve of the semi-final against Atalanta, anticipation is growing in Marseille for the Vélodrome match. The French club does not start under the forecast: the performances offered by the Bergamo team in the double quarter-final match against Liverpool impressed everyone and there are those who do not believe in the possibility of the feat for Gasset’s men
Among these there is also Samir Nasri; the former Olympique Marseille (2004-2008) and Manchester City player, now a commentator, appears very pessimistic: “I’m a little less confident for Marseille than PSG. My heart is with them and I think we’ll have to do the difference in the first leg, a bit like we did against Villarreal. Atalanta may not have a name that makes you dream, but they are a very strong team in Italy. The coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who has been there since years, asks his team to run a lot: we know the physical problems of the Marseille team at the moment, there are many injured, but I would also worry if they all recovered”, he confided to Canal +.
