For this audience, too, this energy that they have to push. We have here in Marseille, as in Boca, even when things are not going well during the matches, this public which succeeds in changing the match with this support. They force you to give more, to stay more focused. The opponent feels this pressure too. There is this fear of the adversary when it comes to the Bombonera. It’s very similar, whether it’s Boca or Marseille, when you play away, in France or in Europe, there are OM supporters everywhere, it’s incredible. These are two clubs that are recognized worldwide », He assures in an interview with Mercato on foot.
