At the end of the 32nd day of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain, leader of the championship, will receive Olympique de Marseille, runner-up to the capital club, in a Classic which already promises to be hot this Sunday. at 8:45 p.m. Present at a press conference, Jorge Sampaoli and Valentin Rongier spoke in particular about the playing intentions of the Marseille club.
A clash between two leaders of the French championship, a duel between two historical rivals, an opposition between two tacticians from Argentina. Here is the program to close the 32nd day of Ligue 1, this Sunday at 8:45 p.m. Well ahead in the standings, Paris Saint-Germain welcomes Olympique de Marseille, their runner-up, which they are ahead of by twelve lengths, and in the lair of the Parc des Princes, Kylian Mbappé’s teammates will necessarily be keen to shine against to the sworn enemy. But the task promises to be difficult against OM who have just qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa League Conference and are backed by an impressive series of 8 victories in all competitions.
Present at a press conference this Saturday, Jorge Sampaoli and Valentin Rongier also launched this shock by delivering, according to them, the ingredients necessary to overcome the Parisian ogre. “It’s doable to keep our game philosophy against PSG, we’ll talk about it on Sunday evening but I think it’s doable. Paris does not like chasing the ball so if we manage to deprive them of the ball, I think it’s the best way to play and to understand this match., first declared the Marseille midfielder, determined to confiscate the ball on Parisian soil. An ambition of possession just as present in the speech of the Argentine technician.
OM want to reign supreme at the Parc des Princes!
“We hope to have a worthy match against a very complex opponent who has a lot of scoring possibilities with their many quality players. We will try to manage the different situations, with control of the ball against a team that also wants to have the ball. We hope to play a good game and use our emotions to put in a good performance.”thus confirmed the former coach of Albiceleste before saying more about the game intentions of the Marseillais at the Parc des Princes.
“The mix of transition and possession depends on the opponent. We adapt according to the matches, like against PAOK. We are sometimes forced to eliminate with long balls, with high recoveries and transitions. […] Sunday, it will be a similar style (as PAOK) but with much better players than those we faced on Thursday. PSG will also fall back much faster, they are much better at this level. In this match, if we don’t have control of the ball, if we don’t defend with the ball and we defend very low without the ball, I almost want to say that we will have no chance., finally warned the 62-year-old technician. A huge challenge that Jorge Sampaoli’s men seem ready to take up today, they who had also won on Parisian soil in September 2020 (1-0) before taking a point at the start of the season (0 -0).
“We are 200% motivated for this match but like all the other matches, it will be 3 points to take. There was a good result with the defeat of Rennes against Monaco but we are not going there thinking that we can relax, far from it, we are going there without pressure but we are going there to keep our philosophy of play and have a good game. We are not going to play thinking that we are going to delay them on the title, we are going there with a view to achieving a result and being more serene about this second place.concluded the former Nantes resident, far from being impressed at the idea of crossing swords with Kylian Mbappé, sparkling for several months under the Parisian tunic: “Mbappe? It’s not a nightmare, he’s a very great player, we defend differently on him because we know his speed but it’s the whole team that must be concentrated and defend together like in the first leg to bring back a result.. Game intentions set, now place for the show.
