While Olympique de Marseille seemed more comfortable collectively without Arkadiusz Milik against Nantes (1-0), Jorge Sampaoli mentioned the case of his center forward this Friday at a press conference.
Milik is worth it in this first part of the season
This is a question that arises on the side of Olympique de Marseille. Are Jorge Sampaoli’s team playing better without Arkadiusz Milik (27)? This question comes after an attractive match between the Olympians and Nantes (1-0) when the Pole was on the bench at kick-off.
Payet shines in fake number 9
Without Milik, Marseille seemed more comfortable collectively against Nantes. The use of Dimitri Payet in false number 9, as at the start of the season, offers more fluidity in the Marseille game. Yes it is different with him, admitted Sampaoli at a press conference. But as with all numbers 9 with different capacities from those of Dimitri Payet.
Payet is an attacking midfielder who plays higher and helps a different height on the pitch and this helps all the offensive volume of the team, we are closer when we settle in the opposing camp and when we have a loss of ball , continued the Marseille coach. Does that mean that OM should opt instead for the Payet option en pointe from now on?
Sampaoli wants to find the solution for Milik
Confident in the qualities of his striker, author of 10 goals in 16 games with OM last season, Sampaoli intends to find a solution to tactically advance his team with the presence of the Polish center forward. We must find this complementarity so that the team does not lose in the game when it plays with a 9 , confided the Argentinian.
Seriously injured at the end of last season, Milik missed preparation and only returned to competition at the end of September. Which may explain his sluggish first part of the season. His return coincided with the less good period of OM, but the concerns of the club phocen really started from the sequence of matches every three days with the Europa League. Difficult, therefore, to point the finger at the former Neapolitan specifically. But one thing is certain, the native of Tichy, author of only 4 goals in 12 games, must score more.
For you, should OM continue with Payet in false 9 or trust Milik? Do not hesitate to react and discuss in the area add a comment …
