Deschamps: Inter make their opponents tremble

Olympique de Marseille coach Didier Deschamps has insisted that Inter will pose a big threat to his side in the Champions League Round of 16 tie.

The Nerazzurri travel to the Stade Velodrome desperate to put an end to the poor run which has seen them lose five of their last six matches and concede 12 goals since the start of the month.

"Inter have so many international champions, so many players who are accustomed to the Champions League and who can make the difference, like [Diego] Milito, [Giampaolo] Pazzini or [Wesley] Sneijder," Deschamps told a press conference.

"They can make their opponents tremble. Inter's worth should not be questioned and it will be different from what we have seen in their last Serie A matches.

"I would like to remind that nine of their players took part in the Champions League final a year and a half ago."

Despite acknowledging the hard task ahead, Deschamps is hopeful that Marseille will be able to reach the next stage in the competition.

"We have no certainty, but we have the belief," Deschamps said. "We will face them over two legs, we are confident and we will give our all."
