OM: Sampaoli, the C1, the transfer window, Zidane at PSG … Gignac’s confidences

Exiled in Mexico since 2015, Andr-Pierre Gignac remains a fervent supporter of Olympique de Marseille. The Tigres striker brought his expertise to the news of the Marseille club and did not hesitate to give his position on the possible arrival of Zinedine Zidane at Paris Saint-Germain.

Gignac still follows OM.

André-Pierre Gignac is (already) the greatest legend in the history of the Tigers. Almost seven years after his arrival, the French striker has an exceptional record of 167 goals and 40 assists in 293 games.

Best director in the history of the Mexican club, the native of Martigues has not forgotten his lifelong love, Olympique de Marseille. In an interview with RMC, the 36-year-old spoke about the news of Marseille training.

Gignac’s advice for the C1

The Monterrey striker notably congratulated the southern club for their 2nd place in Ligue 1 thanks to the good work of Jorge Sampaoli. Sampaoli is a bit like Bielsa. Bielsa’s Chili, Sampaoli’s Chili… Me, I love his principles of play. My captain, Guido Pizarro, had Sampaoli Sville. He told me that Sampaoli explains all the moves. It’s a playful team. Afterwards, no one is perfect, all coaches make mistakes. Sometimes the tactic fails, that’s normal. But OM had a very good season. Today, when you finish second in the championship, it’s almost as if you are champion (laughs) underlined the ex-goleador of Lorient and Toulouse.

For Gignac, OM will absolutely have to strengthen this summer to avoid further disappointment in the Champions League following the last two catastrophic campaigns. I think we need to consolidate. You have Milik, a world-class striker, you managed to keep Guendouzi who has 300 lungs… You really need experience in the Champions League. You can’t stay on a zero point Champions League. Me, I lived the zero point season in the Champions League. We have to consolidate everything that OM have done well this year and get players of Champions League level advocated the international tricolor.

Zidane at PSG, Gignac refuses to believe it

As a fervent supporter of Ciel et Blanc, Gignac does not imagine for a single second Zinedine Zidane on the bench of Paris Saint-Germain. A possible thing is coming that would hurt him a lot. It hurts my heart (laughs). You have to say what is. I’ve always been in the rivalry before games, I’ve always played that game. Me, I was immersed in this rivalry. I was born next to Marseille, since I was very young, it’s rivalry with Paris. Someone who is not immersed in this rivalry will tell you that it is good to see Zizou return to France. But no, for a Marseillais, it’s not good judged the Southerner.

According to him, the ex-manager of Real Madrid would do better to wait his turn to recover the team of France. He’s a great coach, so for sure all the clubs are going to want him. Paris is becoming a European monster, so it’s normal that they want Zidane. But me, it would hurt my heart. I prefer that he wait to see what happens with the France team, even if I think it will be complicated to do what Didier Deschamps did. I would prefer that he take his troubles patiently , added Gignac. To get the answer, we will have to wait a few more days or weeks.
