"A lion never dies. Even if we lose, we must keep our heads high. We will get there, all together," Morocco midfielder Younes Belhanda told reporters after his team lost 2-1 to Olympiakos in the Champions League on Wednesday.
"We were champions last year, we have the qualities to do something again this year."
"A defender must understand he is here to defend", he said, referring to his team's dismal defensive performance against Olympiakos.
"We need to understand that you can't just play well for 50, 70 minutes. We'll win again when we understand a game lasts 90 minutes," said Belhanda.
Second-placed Olympique Marseille, also on 19 points, host Olympique Lyon, third on 18 points, in Sunday's clash after the two sides' Europa League games later on Thursday.
"Loic Remy is an important player in the team," he told the club's website.
"He is a great player. We know he was decisive last season and I'm sure he will be again this season."
