What's special about this match is that the game will take place at the Stade de Suisse before it is even officially inaugurated (the ceremony is at the end of the month.) Seating will be limited to 14,000 (out of 32,000) and the VIP area will be closed.

Btw, the Stade de Suisse will also host SUI - FRA later this year.

good luck...

YOUNG BOYS BERNE-OM
Intertoto Cup
Saturday july 16th
Live and direct on OMtv text sur OM.net

For the first time ever, Olympique Marseilles will fight for the Intertoto cup! To begin with OM will play against Young Boys Bern « Young Boys Bern are physically better prepared than us, plus they ‘ve played more matches than we do, declares the phocean coach. It will be hard physically, but we our strong point undoubtly lays in our technique
«We have to be united as one, according to Dehu, even attackants must defend: we have to be careful, then we could impose our technique ».
They certainly will have o be careful! Indeed the swiss team won all of his 3 matches and scored nine goals!

They must beware of place-kick!

As a man of experience, Jean Fernandez already pointed out the strong points of his opponent: a dominating offensive team, playing in a 4-4-2 system. He also precisely defined risks: beware of bresilian attackant Valera, of the left wing Raimondi and especially of the leader Hakan Yakin, who used to play in Bale. Danger might also come from place kicks, according to Fernandez We concentrated our training on this. We must keep our defense position and have a strong collective game.
Olympians might fall in a bad trap. Moreover new recruits are not allow to play except from Oruma and Niang. Ribery is not licenser yet and Mendoza, Lamouchi and Andre Luis are not physically ready. However the team is still competitive declares captain Dehu: it’s good to be back in the game.

there were many gaps in l'OM back side. YB seems unexperienced team. But they did well with long balls. Hopefully that Mr. Fernandez can fix these mistakes before the league kicks off.
