After the defeat on the lawn of Olympique Lyonnais (1-2) Tuesday in Ligue 1, the coach of Olympique de Marseille Jorge Sampaoli was singled out for his coaching. Asked to explain his late changes, the Argentinian technician justified himself by admitting an error in this match.
“There are no deep reasons per se, it really depends on what I see. You have to make the decision quickly, to the millisecond, see who is able to come in cold, if they are prepared to that… Sometimes it’s not the decision that you, observers, expect. If there had been this second goal of nder on this match, you would not necessarily have asked the question. If I see that the match does not go as I want, I can make changes. Afterwards, the change in match does not necessarily bring victory or defeat. A victory is linked to our players, a defeat to the quality of the opponent, and so on… Lyon, I should probably have made a defensive change, we weren’t used to playing that way”, regretted the OM coach to the press. this Thursday.
