Sampaoli loses his way in Marseille

After a hopeful and energetic start, the Sampaoli effect has been completely diluted in Marseille. According to information from RMC Sport, the defeat against Monaco this Sunday was the straw that broke the camel’s back in an extreme situation. Many players on the squad question his decisions and even Owned bystar striker of the team, has assured internally that he will not continue next season if “El Pelado” continues to be the coach.

One of the reasons that most has bothered the squad has been Sampaoli’s management with two heavyweights like Mandanda and Álvaro González. The goalkeeper, an institution of the French team, has lost ownership in favor of Pau López. Although nobody questions the good performance of the Spaniard, the treatment towards the French international, continually relegating him to the bench, has not gone down well within the group. Regarding the Spanish, the Argentine coach no longer summons him. In a matter of days, Potes’s man went from being a fundamental pillar within the team to the fifth central defender in an incomprehensible way, something that considerably reduces the margin of maneuver of the former Sevilla coach in Marsella.

Another of Sampaoli’s most questioned decisions has been the lack of opportunities for several players, including Harit and Balerdi. About Pope Gueyeto whom he did give minutes at the beginning of the season, the Argentine coach has taken him out of the eleven after making a brilliant africa cup with Senegalwith which she ended up proclaiming herself champion.

The lack of understanding in the signings between Longoria and Sampaoli may be another reason for the current situation that Marseille is experiencing. The president did everything possible to reinforce the squad in winter, signing at the last minute Bakambu and Kolasinac, two players that the OM coach has partially counted on. Although both parties appreciate each other, maintaining an extraordinary passion for football, there are some issues that remain controversial. The urgency of Marseille is to qualify for the Championsespecially due to the lack of liquidity in the club’s treasury, something that could be alleviated with the succulent figures paid by the UEFA in case of classification to the maximum continental competition.
