Taye Taiwo should get more playin time hes fvcking awsome!

 

[Guillaume]

Taye Taiwo should get more playin time hes fvcking awsome!

Oh yeah I totally agree, last season he did very good games on his left wing with us, better than Koji Nakata and maybe Lizarazu.. I think he'll play more, and the new coach, Jean Fernandez, believe in him after seeing his U-20 WC

Nice first post.

Why did you guys change your logo the old one was much better .

We change our logo last season because of Christophe Bouchet, ex-president who wanted to renovate this one... The last was better but this one is pretty good too.

 

[Guillaume]

For the 3rd Round of the Intertoto Cup, Marseille will play against Swiss of Young Boys Bern.

3rd Round
16 July: Young-Boys Bern - Marseille
23 July: Marseille - Young Boys Bern

Semi-finals:
Deportivo La Corogne ou NK Slaven Koprivnica - FK ZTS Dubnica ou Newcastle
IFK Göteborg ou Wolfsburg - NK Varteks ou Lens
Lazio Rome ou Tampere United - Young Boys Berne ou Marseille
Egaleo FC ou Zalgiris Vilnius - Cluj ou Saint-Etienne
Gent ou Valence - Roda JC ou Slovan Liberec
Borussia Dortmund ou Sigma Olomouc - Leiria ou Hambourg

If we succeed in 3rd Round, we could play against Lazio in semi-finals Last time we lost 5-1 in Champions League, but I think we can play well in theses games especially if the 2nd games is at home.

 

[diroix]

marseille will pay Galatasaray 10 million € for Ribery

 

[Guillaume]

marseille will pay Galatasaray 10 million € for Ribery

hahaha.. Wait and see.. FIFA wants Turkish Federation to give autorisation to Ribéry to play for us.. Marseille did this transfer legaly, I don't think we'll pay for him

 

[diroix]

that transfer is not legal..ribery was not free when marseille signed him..he had a contract with Galatasaray for 2 more years..

 

[Guillaume]

that transfer is not legal..ribery was not free when marseille signed him..he had a contract with Galatasaray for 2 more years..

Yeah but there aren't any real proofs that Galatsaray paid his wages... Just a paper who isn't really convincing... We'll see the decision on FIFA, maybe we'll pay Galatasaray but I believe Ribéry, and I think all is normal in this transfer considering he was free... Just wait and see.

Transfers: Lamouchi and Mendoza to l'OM

Sabri Lamouchi (Inter) and Andres Mendoza (Metalurg Donetsk) have signed a 1 year-contract yesterday in Marseille. Mendoza will be loaned with an option to buy him after the season, Lamouchi will be free in june 2006.
After long searchs, l'OM has found a new midfielder with Lamouchi. José Anigo and Jean Fernandez want him to give his experience to young players as Samir Nasri, Ahmed Yahiaoui, Taye Taiwo or Rakhmane Barry.
L'OM who wanted to buy 1 more forward for the next season takes Andres Mendoza. Not really known here in France except his goal against Milan with FC Bruges, Mendoza will play as a left forward to replace Cheyrou.

Moreover, l'OM is looking for a DC to replace Meïté and Beye during the African Nations Cup in january 2006. It should be Andre Luis Garcia from Benfica, maybe on loan. This powerful defender (1m92, 86kg) didn't play enough in Portugal and maybe want to leave Benfica to get a bit more playing time in Marseille.

MARSEILLE 1-0 ISTRES

MARSEILLE: Carrasso - Ferreira , Déhu (cap) , Méïté (Ba, 87'), Taiwo - Koke (Bamogo, 73') , Nakata (Nasri, 65'), Batlles, Ribéry (Barry, 46') - Niang , Luyindula

ISTRES: Riou (Weber, 46') - Pérez (cap) (Hamed, 46') , Cid , Njanka , Leuguen (Savry, 46'), Dumolin ( Mohellebi, 46') - Ourahou (M ‘Futi , 32e), Bakour ( Secchi 64'), Malouda (Cavalli , 46') - Goussé (Falzon, 46") , Fauré ( Ilic, 53')

Last game before our round in Intertoto Cup. Pretty good game, Jean Fernandez tried some players in different positions. Our new striker Mamadou Niang had a few opportunities but we saw his powerful play. Ribéry played very well again but we waited until 85' to score with Bamogo who could leave the team this week to go to Lille on loan. Next game against Young Boys Berne next saturday in Switzerland for Intertoto Cup 3rd Round.

Transfers: Andre Luis Garcia lent for one year to OM

Benfica Bresilian defensor ANdre Luis Garcia is lent for one season to OM. Presentation of a big deal for opponents.

In 2001-2002, Andre Luiz Moreira used to play with Olympique Marseilles before joining PSG. Today Andre Luis Garcia is lent for a season with an option by Benfica to OM. He will play with the number two on his shirt.

«He has the typical defensor profile according to his coach Jean Fernandez : he is good in one to one and in the head game. He is charismatic and technical also. He used to « play », with Benfica last year but he only played one match. « As for Fernandez he is not physically ready He stopped for one month and didn’t play last year. It always takes more time for big players like him to get ready.

This huge central defensor (86kgs for 1m92) is recommanded by the legendary Carlos Mozer, player of Santos, the winner team of the Bresil Cup in 2002 and 2004. A team composed of gifted players like Diego, Robinho or Alex, who used to play with Eindhoven and who was one of the two highlights with Andre Luis in the sicilian team.

International auriverde two times, his coming to Lisbonne to remplace Tito leaving for Italy. Finnaly he stayed at Luz, Andre Luis can remplace his compatriot on the ground. Today he comes to OM for a one season lending.

OM.net

We find our DC thanks to Carlos Mozer. Now we'll see how he'll be used in the team. I think he'll be useful during Afrcian Nations Cup in january 2006 because Meïté and Beye will play this tournament.

YOUNG BOYS BERNE 2 - 3 MARSEILLE

Intertoto Cup 3rd Round
Stade de Suisse, Berne
16/07/2005
Attendance: 14,000
Referee: M. Thomson

Goals: Oruma (15e), Niang (35e), Taiwo (81e) pour l'OM ; Raimondi (61e), Yakin (74e) pour Berne

Cards: Eugster (33e), Schwegler (49e) pour Berne, Niang (72e) Ferreira (89e) pour l'OM

YOUNG BOYS BERNE: Wölfi - Eugster , Tiago, Disler, Steinsson - Schwegler - Sermeter (Varela, 67e), Häberli, Yakin (Magnin, 81e), Raimondi , Neri

MARSEILLE: Carrasso - Ferreira, Déhu, Méïté, Taiwo - Batlles, Oruma , Nasri - Luyindula (Bamogo, 71e), Niang , Koke (Olembe, 76e)

Really good game We played well all along the game, we succeed in keeping the ball even if Berne was more preparated for this round. First official game, fist win especially away, I think it's a good start for our new team. 2 of our new players scored (Niang, Oruma) and Taiwo did an excellent game and duet Batlles-Oruma at midfield is already good Too bad Berne scored 2 goals but we can see the next game in Marseille with confidence.

 

[Guillaume]

Reactions:
Jean Fernandez (coach):
"We won the game in the first halftime, thanks to our technique. We were technically better, as long as we physically handle. That’s what explains our victory.
After that we were physically weak, which explains we were in bad position.
But we joined forces and made a good point by scoring the third goal. However we haven’t won yet. Young Boys could retaliate next Saturday. One must keep in mind that this team won Lokeren 4-1 and Neuchatel 3-1, both outside.
We still have one week to be ready."

Laurent Batlles
"We played very good throughout first halftime, shooting high balls, stealing it to the opponent. Maybe we did too much, which may harmed us. Swiss were not easy to play, especially on their two wings. But we fought for victory.
We felt like playing like we did in friendly games. We should go on like this."
