LIGUE 1 - Jorge Sampaoli wants a dignified Olympique de Marseille

Tomorrow night, Olympique de Marseille will play the first Europa League game of their season against Lokomotiv Moscow. Arriving in Russia, the Phocaeans lent themselves to the traditional pre-match press conference exercise.

On this occasion, Jorge Sampaoli said he wanted his OM to make a worthy journey after the pitiful season of the Marseillais in the Champions League last season. But the Argentine is already announcing that the schedule could hurt his team's performance.

“You have to represent the club in the best way. We will play every three days. It will be difficult to keep up, and rotations will be necessary. The opponent is difficult. We still want OM to be the protagonists of each match. We will also play against Rennes and Angers, after Moscow. You have to manage the sequence of matches well, to keep a good performance. You have to know who are the players who can keep up the pace, or who will need a rest. We must not lose in collective quality ”, he declared, in remarks relayed by RMC Sport.
