After Amine Haritit was Jorge Sampaoli’s turn to appear at a press conference, on the eve of facing PAOK Salonika at the Vélodrome, on behalf of the quarter-finals of the Europa League Conference.
The Argentinian coach spoke in particular about the starting lineup of Olympique de Marseille, as well as about Marseille’s ambitions in C4. Here are his best statements, relayed by RMC Sports.
A milestone reached by OM?
“It’s a question of understanding the game. I speak with my players saying that each game has its own story because the opponents are different. We have to react according to the game, the most important thing is the game. We have to understand and respect the game through different patterns. Even if we play against a Greek team who master the transition, we must play respecting the game. The fact of chaining victories also gives us confidence. wants to chain the results to have confidence in this idea of the game that we have.
OM’s ambitions in C4
“At the height of OM’s history or at the height of current reality. There is a relationship between the club and the city. It’s a question of respect for the game, how to play with this team We have to try to qualify for the European Cup but we are the only ones still playing it this year. OM have not won titles for a long time and we all have an obligation to win and steer them towards this need. Me, the players and those who will come after.”
Absences in defense of Balerdi and Alvaro
“That’s what coaches are for, to solve sometimes borderline situations. Luan is suspended and will return this weekend. He can play in central or lateral defense, Kamara can play in defense. We will find the means individually and collectively to be competitive. We can’t play with the same eleven every time. It’s dangerous in terms of performance and the risk of injury. There will be a rotation from Thursday and then again on Sunday because otherwise there will be injuries.”
Mandanda or Pau Lopez in goal?
“Mandanda will play.”
Konrad de la Fuente’s injury
“It’s a cartilage injury that needs an intervention. He will be three or four weeks without playing after the intervention. It will be very difficult to see him again this season.”
The presence of Milik
“Milik is forfeited on Thursday and we are doing everything to try to integrate him the day after the match.”
