The Champions League? That’s our goal this season, I can’t say we’re close to achieving it because the standings are very tight. But that’s what we want, it’s the best competition in the world and to take part in it, you have to earn it on the pitch. I want to play the Champions League with OM, assured Milik.

Longoria, a real surprise for the Pole
And precisely, the former center forward of Ajax Amsterdam did not hide the role played by the Spaniard in his history at OM. The first time I met Pablo Longoria was in Naples, we talked about football. He impressed me because he is really young and you don’t expect to meet a sporting director – because at the time that was the role he had at the club – so young and so knowledgeable in soccer. We expect rather a person of 40 or 50 years with a lot of experience in the field. We talked about what he thought of me, how he saw football. Now he is the president of the club and I am very happy for himhe confided.
I saw that he had recently said good things about me in the press. Pablo Longoria believes in me a lot, I want to give everything on the pitch to restore his confidence. He is a very important person to me, insisted Milik. Blossoming in his life in Marseille, the striker also feels like he has been given a boost in the warm atmosphere of the Vlodrome. The Vlodrome is an incredible stadium. Against Paris, there was the most beautiful atmosphere, something indescribable, I had never seen a stadium like this in my whole life! It was something crazy. I have a very good relationship with the Marseille supporters. I think the relationship could be better if I spoke French, to be closer to them. (…) But in the end, what will help me the most is my performance on the pitch. If I speak French but play like shit, they’ll never like me, he finished with a laugh. With 20 goals in all competitions this season, Milik did not worry about his popularity rating in Marseille!
