Salzburg boss calls for 'maximum attacking power' against Marseille

Salzburg go into the second leg trailing 0-2, however on Thursday they have the home advantage, and manager Marco Rose called on his side to seize the game. 

"It is definitely the case that things are possible for us in the second leg," Rose said. "We have the chance on Thursday to snatch the momentum back to our side, and we want to put in another top performance in front of a full house."

The German coach feels that the result in the first leg was a bit harsh on Salzburg. "I had the feeling in Marseille that we were physically stronger and could have got more," he continued. "The possibility of reaching the final is one Marseille have too, but we will try everything to overpower them and make them tired."

"We need to set ourselves up for bringing maximum attacking power out onto the pitch and at the same time remaining patient."

Salzburg midfielder Amadou Haidara echoed Rose's thoughts, saying the Austrian side were unlucky. "We put in a very good performance in the first leg," he said. "We were lacking a bit of luck, unfortunately, and we didn't get the away goal we wanted."

"We need to make up for that at home, and we need a performance like we had at home against Lazio. It will be very difficult, but it's doable."

Speaking to uefa.com, however, Marseille boss Rudi Garcia has called for more of the same in the second leg. His team have the advantage through goals from Florian Thauvin and Clinton Nije.

"If we can score a goal quickly, it will be difficult for them to come back from that but there is no ideal scenario: we have to win and qualify," Garcia stated. "What we have done so far is not enough to earn a place in the history of the club."

"OM play their 58th game of the season tomorrow but I am not sensing any physical or mental fatigue from my players. As we saw last week, we still have legs at the end of the game."
