OM can breathe for a few hours. After several weeks of doubts, the DNCG ended up validating the club’s accounts. Everything is in order, Pablo Longoria and his team can definitely get into the transfer window. There is work because for the moment, there has been no arrival and the files do not seem ready to be completed yet, in the sense of arrivals as well as departures. There is starting to be a little urgent all the same, according to the pressure put on by Jorge Sampaoli.
The Spanish press revealed, a few days ago, that the Argentine technician had put his future in the balance if he did not obtain satisfaction in this still very competitive transfer market. The Saliba (for the moment) and Kamara files, but also the other failure in the arrival of Axel Witsel (the Belgian should join Atlético de Madrid) have left a bitter taste. Pablo Longoria is aware of this and wants to calm things down with his coach. In an interview with club mediathe president reiterates his confidence in the man who led OM to 2nd place in Ligue 1.
Longoria includes Sampaoli
“I repeat it but it is so important: we want to give maximum coherence to the project. This is the key. Like last season, we all have to work together in the same direction. On recruitment, it is a real logic of collective construction with Jorge and his staff, around two aspects: the style of play of the team and the profiles of the players, who must be complementary to each other. It’s essential work with many issues, which should lead to our ability to put the individual at the service of the collective with a very strong game identity. That’s why it’s very, very important that everyone can think together and work in the same direction for the smooth running of the project.”assures Longoria, who then clarified his objectives on the transfer window.
“We have targeted the positions we want to strengthen and those on which we need to improve. At the moment, we are facing a very speculative market. So we have our goals but we have to stay consistent with this trend, as we have been doing since day one at the club. This consistency must also be reflected in our playing identity, with profiles of players determined to join us through this idea of building the team and who wish to fully commit to the club’s project. These are the basics. Then, we work by priority”, concludes the strong man of OM. From now on, all that remains is to complete the first files to definitively launch this transfer window.
