Olympique Marseille Coach Sampaoli Thinks Matches vs Lazio Are “Two Finals” | OneFootball

It’s the same preparation for league and cup. We have two finals to play against Lazio. They are direct clashes and we have great motivation.  The results didn’t come in the first two games but our goal is to qualify as first in the group, despite the fact that the situation isn’t the best.

The presence of Milik and Payet is important. Having them available in this scenario is fundamental for important matches like the one against Lazio.  It is important to be able to rely on players like them.

Both Sarri and I play offensive games. The key will be in who can hold the game in their hands. We will need to be able to attack well but in tight blocks because Lazio are strong. Lazio score a lot, it will be important to concede little and not make mistakes. We’re here to win and to qualify. Lazio are very prepared, it will be a high level match.

I’m not thinking about PSG. Tomorrow will be very difficult as it was to qualify.  I’m concentrating on the match against Lazio especially on communicating with my players.

I will try to put the best players and who are better to be able to qualify.  I still don’t have a clear lineup.
