The Paris Saint-Germain has one of the most powerful teams in the world. The French team has outstanding players such as Verratti, Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappé, Mauro Icardi, among others. However, prior to the Classic of France , Jorge Sampaoli coach of Olympique Marseille, focused all his concerns on his compatriot Lionel Messi.
Le Classique in the first instance shows a very unequal party in terms of payroll. But the Argentine coach sees himself in the ability to surpass PSG and Mauricio Pochettino . However, Sampaoli has a much more serious problem with Lionel Messi, but he also has a plan to control it.
“ I played against Messi, I also led him. We know that he is the best player in the world. The best way to stop such a player is by controlling the game (…) We have to make sure that Lionel Messi is far from our goal “, explained Jorge Sampaoli in a press conference.
Despite the fact that PSG is the wide favorite to win El Clásico and also Ligue 1, Jorge Sampaoli does not take for granted the triumphs of the club that makes life in the Parc des Princes.
“I cannot consider that the title is today for PSG. There are many things that also allow us to think that we can do many things against them. We have to know how to take advantage of the opportunities that we will also have in this match. We have hope, like the fans ”, he concluded.
