Zenden Dreams Of Crushing Liverpool's European Campaign

Marseille's Dutch winger Bolo Zenden wants just one thing ahead of tonight's game with Liverpool: to dump his former club out of the cup.

Liverpool go into tonight's Champions League clash with Marseille knowing that they almost certainly need a win to avoid being knocked out at the first hurdle.

But speaking ahead of the match, L'OM winger Bolo Zenden reckons the atmosphere in the Stade Velodrome will be too much for the Reds to handle.

"This game will be like a final and people have us as favourites because we are at home," said the Dutchman, who left Liverpool in the summer.

We're Ready To Eliminate Liverpool

"I have played for both clubs but my dream now is the elimination of Liverpool," he continued. "The key is in the mentality of the players. Marseille have a clear plan. We will stop them playing and keep control of the match. Any Liverpool player is dangerous - Torres, Gerrard and Crouch are great players - but our defence is ready for the challenge."

Nervous Encounter

With so much at stake and Liverpool unable to take the risk of going one goal down, Zenden reckons it could be quite a cagey affair. "The game will be full of tension and the atmosphere will be amazing. That will help us, though, for me, this match will be a real tactical battle. I certainly bet Benitez will not attack from the start.”
