Cana - 'quite calm'.

CANA HOPES TO ESCAPE BIG BAN

Posted 20/04/09 11:32
EmailPrintSave


Marseille captain Lorik Cana does not fear his end to the season is in jeopardy because of the red card he received late on in the 2-1 win at Lorient.

The Albania midfielder was dismissed in the 88th minute of Sunday night's match at Le Moustoir after an ugly skirmish with Lorient's Arnaud Le Lan, who was also given his marching orders.

The two players fought on the ground after disputing a throw-in and Cana was seen clenching his fist, giving the impression he was going to punch Le Lan.

The league's disciplinary commission will look at the incident later this week and decide what punishment to mete out, but Cana does not believe he will be slapped with a lengthy ban.

"I don't see why I should be worried," he said.

"Arnaud and me, we will be punished but there is nothing to be worried about.

"The referee (Olivier Thual) said to me he brought out the red card because of the seriousness of the incident but I am quite calm."

Cana added: "Arnaud is a super guy, the last person I would want to go and attack.

"We both wanted the ball. He looked at the assistant referee who said, 'Lorient's ball' and I looked at the referee who said, 'Marseille's ball'. We clashed.

"What happened is more spectacular than anything. There was no violence."

A lengthy suspension for Cana would be a blow to OM coach Eric Gerets, who saw his side take a further step towards their first title since 1992 with a come-from-behind victory.

They conceded in the eighth minute when Kevin Gameiro broke the offside trap to round goalkeeper Steve Mandanda and dribble the ball home.

But OM fought back and second-half goals by Renato Civelli and Brandao earned them a win that leaves them two points clear of second-placed Bordeaux with six matches left.

Gerets, whose side have won five on the spin in the league, called it a "major step forward", adding: "I must compliment my players 200%.

"Firstly for turning round a game having fallen behind but especially for the consistency.

"There is a solidarity and an incredible desire in this team, something I haven't experienced in my career."
