believes the duo's heavy investment
has created a huge amount of
expectation, and revealed he is
"pumped" to win titles next season
Olympique de Marseille midfielder
Mathieu Valbuena believes Paris Saint-
Germain and Monaco will be under
significant pressure in the 2013-14
campaign.
PSG are favourites to complete the
capture of Edinson Cavani from Napoli
having invested heavily in their squad last
season, while newly promoted Monaco
have splashed the cash to land the likes
of Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez and
Joao Moutinho this summer.
Valbuena, who helped Marseille clinch
second spot behind PSG in Ligue 1 last
season, feels the huge investment at each
club will lead to a huge amount of
expectation heading into the new season.
"The pressure will be mainly on their
shoulders [PSG and Monaco]," he told La
Provence. "Plenty is expected of them in
relation to their spending and their
recruitment."
Marseille have likewise invested in the
market so far this summer, securing the
signing of Dimitri Payet from Lille and
agreeing a deal for Le Havre youngster
Benjamin Mendy, and Valbuena is
confident his side can compete for
trophies next season.
"I'm still pumped," the 28-year-old
added. "This season is super important. I
want to be better, to be more decisive, to
win titles, because it is magic to achieve
things with l'OM."
