Zapping Our Mondial TOP 10: The most profitable transfers in history
He was expected as the messiah. Injured to the knee at the start of the season, Arek Milik appeared to be the key element that would bring Olympique de Marseille to a standstill in Jorge Sampaoli’s hybrid device. But since his return and his first appearance against Galatasaray in the Europa League, the Polish international has struggled to regain his level. If he appeared decisive in C3 with a goal against Lazio and a double on the lawn of Galatasaray, this is less the case in Ligue 1.
“We need Milik’s goals”
Indeed, he only scored one goal in his team’s big victory against FC Lorient, despite five appearances, including five starts. Present at a press conference, his trainer Jorge Sampaoli returned to his condition inevitably subject to questions in the south of France: “He returned from a major injury, but it is also a complication for us. Recovery takes sometimes more time. We need Milik’s goals and he regains his confidence. We need Payet’s goals too. We can just wait and hope for Milik’s return to 100% as soon as possible. We need to prepare all the players to be sharper at the finish. We waited for Milik’s return for a long time and there, the absence of his goals hurts us, but he will come back and the team will then be more solid. When we dominate and that we mark, we can take advantage of this psychological advantage, “he said, in remarks transcribed by RMC Sport. A way to once again give confidence to his attack. It’s up to him to answer on the lawn of Nantes tomorrow.
The transfer window in everyone’s mind
Subsequently, he necessarily looked at the transfer window, a pivotal moment of the season, clearly showing his desires: “I talk about it every day with the president and with the owner. We made an almost completely new workforce. , but we are a little limited in the composition of the group. We will try to complete the group during the next transfer window. More than my desires, it is also linked to the reality of the club. The president and the owner will speak about it better than me . My job is to make a competitive team, ”explains the Argentinean.
Finally, the boss of OM has not hesitated to plan for the end of the season while remaining evasive on his objectives: “There are many more teams which are more finished than us in Ligue 1. We, we tries to be competitive with a young and 100% renewed squad. The championship is complicated, it’s up to you to say if we are armed enough to finish 2nd. This season we are setting up a base and then we will have to grow on this base by improving it with other players and ideas. “
