Cissé : "We’re going to make life difficult for them"

04/05/08 - OM-Bordeaux

The OM forward granted us an interview,just before going away to prepare for the reception of Bordeaux.

What is your frame of mind before the game against Bordeaux?
It’s a game that is important for the end of the season. It could allow us to put a bit of space between us and Nancy  but we will be up agaist a Bordeaux side who are difficult to play against when they are away from hime. We will try not to lose and continue our good performance that we put in against Monaco.

Is it a pivotal game as much for OM as for Bordeaux?
The two teams have precise objectives. For us it’s third place, Bordeaux still have a chance of taking the title from Lyon. A win would allow Bordeaux to believe a little more but we’re not there to hand out favours or give them any hope at all. We’re going to make life difficult for them.

Both teams are very strong offensively …
It’s going to be a great game as both teams have great defences as well. The forward lines and the midfields are great as well. I hope there will be a lot of goals. We’re going out to have fun, to put on a show making people happy and to get away from Nancy.

A last word on Laurent Blanc’s first season as coach?
I didn’t have the chance to play alongside him in the National team, but I have heard a lot about him and it would seem he is someone that really has a passion for his job. At this level of football, you do not take your team to second place in your first season by chance. You need to work, Laurent Blanc loves his work and you can see that on the field. You have to lift your hat to the guy and the work he has done.
