Former PSG striker Nicolas Anelka believes that the Ile-de-France club must do everything to retain the best scorer in its history.
Edinson Cavani is only a few weeks away from the expiration of his PSG lease. Despite his excellent record with the capital club and also the record for most goals scored, El Matador is about to leave the club for free. A surprising outcome that many do not understand. Among those who are surprised by this outcome is a certain Nicolas Anelka.
“Cavani is a 9 like there is no more”
The speech of the former French international is rare. Saturday, he came out of his silence during a Live Instagram with the Parisian fan Sabri to discuss his news, his future projects with a film which is about to be broadcast on Netflix, but also to speak therefore of El Matador. He is astonished that the latter was not retained by Ile-de-France officials. “Letting Cavani go would be a very big mistake, did he let go. It remains a 9 as there is no more. He has a lot of trash, but he makes crazy calls and he scores (goals). It will serve you no matter what. “
Anelka, who has had two visits to Paris as a player, believes that even in a replacement role and despite his advanced age (33), Cavani can still be of great help to the champions of France: “In Paris, you need competition. It is a super attacker that you risk giving in to a competitor since he will necessarily go to a big club. And when he plays against PSG, he will score for sure. And this is where they will have great regrets. “
“PSG needs competition in Ligue 1”
While expressing her disagreement with the choices made by the management, Anelka said that she was nevertheless confident for the future of the club. “It’s a great team. With the players they have, they are cut to win the Champions League. They will end up doing it. The only problem is the weak competition that exists in Ligue 1. To be champion of France is good, but to progress on a European scale, they need difficult matches regularly. I hope that Marseille will soon be bought by a wealthy businessman from the Gulf so that they have an adversity in Ligue 1 “, pointed out the native of Trappes.
