Habib Beye's OM is clinging to 4th place in the Ligue 1 standings ahead of matchday 30. Marseille is at the heart of an absolutely unpredictable race for the Champions League and European spots in general. Habib Beye knows what it takes.

For the Senegalese manager, other teams' results will matter a great deal. The Marseille coach, Habib Beye, wants to stay focused solely on his own squad.

"We aren't glued to the other teams' schedules. We can't let our mood be dictated by other results, whether they're positive or negative. The calmest team will be the one that makes it in the end. When things go well, we mustn't get carried away, and when they don't, it's the same. We're going to Lorient to win, but the final verdict will come on May 16. (...) Third place is crucial for the club's objectives. Right now, we're one point away. It's a long marathon, and we need to be capable of winning all five of our matches." declared the former Rennes coach at the press conference.
