“In the end, the results of these first six months at Olympique de Marseille, I find it miraculous and formidable. Quite simply because we have to go back to where Marseille was in May. Everyone was sounding the alarm bells and saying “How are we going to do this?” “” There are a dozen players who will leave the club “” Many players who will leave free “and not the least. We remember a player like Florian Thauvin who embodied the face of Olympique de Marseille for several seasons left the club free. Many people wondered how OM would be able to react without money. And we see that Pablo Longoria has accomplished work that I find titanic. He managed to renew the workforce with pieces of string. Even if there were big transfers that were made in the image of Gerson. There was a lot of mischief and a lot of intelligence with loans, purchase options … The spread of transfer fees over the duration of the contract which allow OM not to do too badly. While everyone announced a difficult season, we meet in December with OM which is 3rd. For that alone, the work of Pablo Longoria has been prodigious, we must take our hat off to him. As for the game, I rather want to drink the glass half full than the glass half empty. Assuming that what happened from the summer, namely a flaming OM, it was in my opinion an anomaly. OM weren’t supposed to play so well. It was a good surprise, the bonus, you have to take it. Jorge Sampaoli’s group has been renewed from cellar to attic with young players who are far from being wrath of war even if there are many of them who have created a certain enthusiasm because they have a strong potential. However, he is not a confirmed player. We have seen it with players like Konrad de la Fuente or Cengiz Ünder who can be shivering players for a game or two but who are not yet players on whom you can rely on the whole of a season. . The group has been completely renewed. Sampaoli has a young group in their hands, Sampaoli may have had ideas which were sometimes a little too ambitious for OM. ” Jonatan Machardy – Source : After Foot (23/12/2021)
