He has clearly chosen his side.
A few hours before the derby between Lens and Lille this Friday evening (9 p.m.), OM coach Jorge Sampaoli took advantage of the press conference at the Commanderie to support the leader of Ligue 1. Not so much to annoy the Parisian rival, second in Ligue 1, than in relation to the situation of Marseille, which is counting on the last three days to snatch its European ticket.
“I am for a Lille victory, completely.
I'm ready to release a banner, dropped the Argentine technician, who has relaunched OM in the race for Europe since his arrival.
Honestly, we will be quite tense on this Friday night's game.
It's a match that can continue to give us hope, so I'm 100% on the side of Lille supporters this Friday night.
"
To read alsoLens-Lille: for the Lensois, "it is the opportunity to put a little equality for 90 minutes"
Sixth in Ligue 1, the Marseillais have the same number of points, 56, and the same goal difference as the Lensois, fifth.
But the latter, winners at the Vélodrome and authors of a draw at home against OM, are ahead of them in direct confrontations.
Marseille will therefore bet on Losc, which will be sacred if it wins the last three games, to pass in front of the Lensois.
OM, undefeated since March and a defeat (3-0) in Nice, welcomes Saint-Etienne on Sunday afternoon (1 p.m.).
