While Jorge Sampaoli would quickly wait for reinforcements on the transfer market, in particular to compensate for the departure of Boubacar Kamara, and in order to have a workforce allowing him to perform well in the Champions League. Very impatient, the OM coach however received a clear message from his president. Pablo Longoria has effectively announced his ambitions.

Next season theOM will find the Champions League thanks to a qualification snatched on the last day of League 1. Therefore, Jorge Sampaoli would be very ambitious and would require several reinforcements from his management. It must be said that the Argentine technician does not want to make up the numbers on the European scene and for that, he therefore wishes to see reinforcements arrive, in particular to replace Boubacar Kamara who made a free contract with AstonVilla. However, and while the summer transfer window has been open for several weeks, Jorge Sampaoli would start to get impatient. A situation that would even throw a damper on his futureOM. Aware of the situation, Pablo Longoria came out of the silence. After a second conclusive pass in front of the DNCGthe Marseille club will therefore indeed be active.

Longoria announces the color

” We have targeted the positions we want to strengthen and those on which we need to improve, explains the leader. 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 operate by priority “, he confides on the official website of theOM before recalling the importance of working in collaboration with Jorge Sampaoli : “ I repeat it but it is so important: we want to give maximum coherence to the project, he continues. 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. This is 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 proper conduct of the project.. »
