Zapping But! Football Club PSG: the top 10 most used players for the 2020-2021 season
Paris Saint-Germain does not sweat worry. It’s a team with so many great players. In addition, the recruitment is very muscular and balanced compared to what we have seen in the past. There has been a lot of mess in recent years: Kehrer, Draxler… guys bought at sky-high prices. The first recruit being the captain of the Netherlands, Georginio Wijnaldum, he has already convinced in the past and shone at the Euro. Mauricio Pochettino must find the balance. It’s a great club, a great institution with many championship titles, but the goal is the Champions League. We must not forget that Ligue 1 is no longer a routine. Several teams now come to disturb them. We have to strike a balance between the ambition of the Champions League and managing the championship at the same time. It is an additional challenge.
“If the results don’t come quickly …”
In addition, you will have to come to terms with the different egos in the locker room. A team is often created thanks to a great atmosphere. Kylian Mbappé would have wondered about the recruitment of Sergio Ramos for example, that is not a good thing. It is this kind of small locker room leaks that can hurt the collective and spoil the atmosphere during the season. At the level of the athlete, they have the level to win all the trophies. From now on, we must find a general osmosis. If the results do not come quickly, there will surely be controversies in the locker room. We see the case of Presnel Kimpembe who is wondering about his future. These are grains of sand that can adversely affect club results. Mauricio Pochettino will have to manage all of this and that is no easy task.
“I have more doubts about Ramos than about Donnarumma”
I think Sergio Ramos maybe a blow to attract a player like Cristiano Ronaldo for example. PSG have tried blows in the past with Buffon and Beckham, although Ramos is undoubtedly in better shape than them. But when we see the Kimpembe-Marquinhos hinge, we can legitimately ask questions. I find it hard to understand the interest, unlike Donnarumma. In view of his age, his room for improvement and his particular position, the Italian is a great shot. Certainly, Keylor Navas has been excellent in the Champions League, but Paris Saint-Germain have been protecting themselves for years as they have been criticized for the quality of their goalkeeper in the past. It is a key position, and it is now assured for many years. I have more doubts about Ramos than about Donnarumma. Keylor Navas is a great goalkeeper and he will fight for his starting place. A goal must have 100% of the confidence of his coach, otherwise it is difficult to reach his best level. Lots of former keepers have spoken about it and Pochettino will have to make a quick decision to get the most out of his future holder. The key to the season will certainly be played out around the aura of the Argentinian technician and his ability to manage a knack of talent.
What if Sergio Ramos attracted Cristiano Ronaldo to Paris?
According to Denis Balbir, the arrival of Sergio Ramos at PSG is likely to encourage Cristiano Ronaldo to join the club in the capital, as the two men are linked.
