Marseille coach Jean-Louis Gasset returned to his team's narrow defeat this Thursday evening at Benfica (2-1) in the C3 quarter-final first leg. “The last 30 minutes and the goal give us a lot of hope for the comeback,” said the Marseille coach at a press conference.
‘We are going to lick our wounds, try to recover at least one player. But we are longing to be at this match ,’ assured Gassen. Full-back Quentin Merlin, who came out before the break, was suffering from a “sprained ankle” “We know that we are capable of surpassing ourselves when we are supported by our audience,’ said the OM coach. The match will be played over two matches and we have to return home, he added. The game will take place at the Estadio Mineirao in Lisbon.
