Against Angers, your 4-4-2 diamond was successful. Why haven’t we seen him since?
Jorge Sampaoli: “We tried to play in this system against Qarabag with Payet in the upper part of the diamond and wingers who moved in the center, to have depth and players in front and behind Payet. Against Clermont if we watch the match from the 18th to the 85th we had a good attacking presence in the opposing camp, but we lacked finishing. Afterwards, it’s the debate we have all the time. Against Troyes, we were two minutes from win, even if we didn’t have a lot of attack volume, because we were coming out of a long trip much less than 72 hours before.
Now it’s up to us to find this best version of OM in the home stretch of the season, we will have to be sharper defensively. Against Angers, we weren’t good defensively, Angers could have led 3-0 and it could have been the worst game at home, luckily we took advantage of the moments that football gives you to equalize and finally win the game. When there is pressure and stress, what matters most is the mind and sometimes we also manage to use that. VSWhat matters to me is to be consistent, I remain the same, I still have the same idea of football, I haven’t changed. The position of the players on the field depends on a strategy that we put in place, sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t, but the only intention we have before each match is to work and to analyze so that OM can win all the matches they play.”
