While Olympique de Marseille will try, this Thursday evening, to definitively validate its ticket for the knockout stages of the Europa League Conference on the lawn of Qarabag, in Azerbaijan, Pablo Longoria spoke at length for Le Figaro. The opportunity for the Marseille president to return to the overall season of the Phocaeans and to salute, in this respect, the work done by his coach Jorge Sampaoli, sometimes criticized for his tactical choices.
“There is great mutual respect. I am happy with his work. In today’s football, we are focused on the latest results, the ultimate emotions, but we have to take the height. If we look at the team that Jorge Sampaoli took over less than a year ago and today, it’s completely different. The group transmits emotions, is ambitious, efficient on the ground. I am happy with this development and I believe that we have a good level of results in Ligue 1. We also want to develop the assets, therefore the level of the players in terms of individual progression. For all these reasons, we thank our coach.said Longoria.
