Ahead of the Champions League clash between Marseille and Inter, Calciomercato.com exclusively interviewed Benoit Cauet, who played for both clubs.

What type of game are you expecting?

“OM are a dangerous side at home and with over 50.000 fans at the Velodrome the atmosphere will be incredibly heated. Deschamps plays with an attacking 4-3-3 strategy and can count on interesting players like Valbuena, Amalfitano and the Ayew brothers”.

Deschamps said he doesn’t trust Inter despite their crisis...

“He is right. Didier knows Italian football really well; with his experience he knows that big clubs and big players can always have a proud reaction. Inter are struggling at the moment, but I expect them to get back on track”.

Do you think Sneijder could be a problem for Inter?

“He is Inter’s best player and should not be doubted. He is an important asset for the Nerazzurri and for Italian football. Unfortunately, injuries have been a problem but he has the quality to rise once again. However, I believe he should always play as a trequartista”.

Can Laurent Blanc become Inter’s next manager?

“Blanc is incredibly knowledgeable having played in France, Italy, Spain and England. He has already proved to be a talented coach winning the title with Bordeaux and getting France qualified to the Euros. He can certainly be an option for the future, but for now Ranieri is on the bench and everybody must stand by his side to reach the third spot in the table”.
