SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Marseille coach Marcelo Bielsa:

(about Marseille president Vincent Labrune, who was arrested on Tuesday as part of a police investigation into the club's purchase of France forward Andre-Pierre Gignac in 2010).

"I can't give my personal view because I don't know the French judicial system and the circumstances of this case.

"I would like him (André-Pierre Gignac) to continue on the rhythm that he had but my desire would convert him into the best forward of the world. Neither Ronaldo, nor Messi can maintain this pace of scoring in every match. So I understand the pauses that he has in his effectiveness."
