In full discussion for the extension of his contract, Jorge Sampaoli issued a new warning to his leaders. The Olympique de Marseille coach continues to demand recruits for next season. An important condition for considering your future in the Marseille city.
We no longer count the number of pressure shots from Jorge Sampaoli. At each appearance in front of the media, the Olympique de Marseille coach takes the opportunity to address his superiors, and always with the same message. The technician, not completely satisfied with the transfer window achieved last summer, calls for more experienced recruits, in particular in order to do well in the Champions League if his team manages to qualify. And even goes so far as to put his future at stake if the Marseille club favors the financial aspect.
Sampaoli: “The group has respected the style of play all season. There are many players who have developed in this style of play. Some are now in the national team. For me the best example is Payet, he has makes its partners grow” #LiveConf #teamOM

« If I am sure to stay next season? I do not knowreplied Jorge Sampaoli. I’m thinking of the goal we have in front of us. Do we want the Champions League for money or to be competitive? It’s important to know why you want to be there, you have to be clear, sincere, that’s the most important thing. Why are we setting this goal? There will be the possibility of creating or not creating a Champions League team. Be there for four or six games and say stop… Then the project will be decided based on these bases, the resources in accordance with the club’s capacities. »
Sampaoli recalls a bad memory
« If we play only to go unnoticed, it is not logical. The critics will always be there. We must be very clear about what we want. If the objective is more economical, it brings pressure that is not necessary, that’s what happened during the last campaign (elimination from the group stage with 3 points in 2020 -2021, note). The 60,000 people will still be there. The team, the coach and the leaders must follow “Advised the Marseille coach, visibly suspicious of the intentions of his leaders.
