Script:

SOUNDBITE: (French) Marseille defender Rod Fanni:

"There are times when things don't go so well. It was bound to happen. No need to worry, really no need to worry because to date, no team has really dominated us. We are not tired. We do not suffer. That's not the case. We have less success at this moment but nothing has changed in the quality and in the work."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Marseille defender Rod Fanni:

"I don't want be presumptuous because the season is long. But in terms of capacity and staff, I think that we can really create a surprise. We are physically prepared. But can we mentally stay the course? We must not be distracted by the media or other factors."

SOUNDBITE: (French) Marseille defender Rod Fanni:

"I don't really know the Lens players, but I have had an opportunity to see how they play. It's true that they had surprised me in certain situations. We can see that this team has lots of energy and so we need prepare for this match well. We may be in for a surprise if we believe ourselves to be superior to this kind of team."
