Marta's Umeå to attack Frankfurt

Two-time FIFA Women's World Player of the Year Marta says Umeå IK will attack from the outset as the Swedish side seek to grab an away goal of their own in the UEFA Women's Cup final second leg against 1. FFC Frankfurt.

Early goals
The Brazil forward scored after just 12 seconds of last week's first game in Sweden, a lead which was cancelled out four minutes later by Conny Pohlers. The German outfit have the edge on away goals going into the return at the former Waldstadion – a situation which Marta is determined to change as soon as possible.

Positive intentions
"We don't look back," she said. "We think positive and our tactic can only be to push hard from the beginning, as we have to score a goal. I am sure we will get our chances and we just have to finish better than last week."

Crowd puller
The biggest crowd in the history of the competition will watch the tie, as Umea and Frankfurt bid to become the first team to lift the trophy three times. Frankfurt triumphed in 2001 and 2006, while Umeå prevailed in consecutive seasons between 2003 and 2004. "I am happy about the huge attendance, I didn’t expect that," Marta added. "It's good for us players, for the spectators and for women's football."
