Coaches with an offensive spirit
“
I have an offensive and attractive playing philosophy […] It's too early to talk about a system, I have to see the squad first, but I like attacking football with good players, intelligent and with good technique.
It is possible to play offensive, attractive and win titles.
"From his presentation at Groupama Stadium at the end of May, Peter Bosz laid the foundations of his style of play. An attractive philosophy which, quite logically, quickly won over - at least on paper - a large number of supporters of the Rhone formation.
His Argentinian counterpart, Jorge Sampaoli, who arrived on the Canebière at the beginning of March, is also one of the most fervent defenders of a game carried forward, and based on risk taking. This week, Valentin Rongier described very well the will of his trainer on the antenna of
After Foot,
the program broadcast on
RMC
: "
We use a system, a philosophy of play that exposes us a lot, there are things not completely assimilated yet, we can see it on the field with matches where it is felt a little more, but we have fun. We try to play. Sometimes a little too much, but for us everything is positive
“, Specified the one who now evolves in a hybrid role, alternating between the functions of right-back in the offensive phase and rather axial midfielder in the offensive phase.

Common principles ...
Peter Bosz and Jorge Sampaoli do not adopt the same tactics, whether in terms of systems or game progressions. For example, on the attacks placed, the former is adept at a fairly "
peripheral
" game with several players on the same side during the ball exits and numerous duplications on the wings in the opposing camp. He thus enrolled in the Dutch school, notably with Erik ten Hag, who did a remarkable job at Ajax Amsterdam. The second prefers to follow the precepts of the position game so dear to Pep Guardiola and have only one player close to the touchline in order to have more possibilities to find players between the lines and allow his eccentric elements. to be able to play one-on-one.

But if their way of playing their team differs, they nevertheless share common principles.
The former Bayer Leverkusen coach and the former Albiceleste coach want to get the ball out cleanly from behind, not hesitating to ask their players to take risks - moderate or significant - and to involve the goalkeepers of goals.
They also seek to multiply the projections in the last third and - above all - wish at all costs to establish an intense pressing, stifling and very high at the loss of the ball.

... and the desire to please the supporters
If they try to play attacking football, it is because they believe that it is the best way to obtain positive results over time and therefore to achieve their goals. But not only. For both of them, moving forward must also allow them to give pleasure to the supporters. In their respective speeches, the desire to provide emotions to spectators and viewers is very present. "
We play for the supporters and not for ourselves
", explained Peter Bosz in his first statement as coach of Olympique Lyonnais. For his part, the technician of the Canebière club indicated during his presentation: “
Anyway, the goal is to restore the club's image.

The
Olympico
of this Sunday evening promises to be all fire and flame.
If we take the ranking as a benchmark, Olympique de Marseille (4th, 23 points) starts with a head start over Les Gones (7th, 19 points).
However, Jorge Sampaoli's men are having difficulty winning their matches recently (three draws in their last five meetings).
For its part, OL - which started badly in the league before recovering - will undoubtedly be revenge after the football lesson received on the lawn of Stade Rennais before the international break.
The shock seems open.
Will the game on the lawn be too?
