Mauricio Pochettino has been appointed as the new Paris Saint-Germain manager. Officially On Saturday, January 2 the past After the club sacked Thomas Tuchle from his post in late December.
Of course, that is the main goal of The Ligue 1 giants are winning the UEFA Champions League after last year, heartbroken in the finals that were close to Bayern Munich, which Pochettino himself had. Experienced Patottenham Hotspur entered this competition in 2019, but lost 0-2 against Liverpool.
Pochettino’s appetite was still full. Although not in charge of the team for a full year, and to bring the former agency as a player back to good form again There were still many things he had to deal with, like the following four.
1. Lack of real team leaders
The loss of Thiago Silva undoubtedly created a gap. Which is not just about defensive games only But it’s also a leadership story that PSG is missing completely.
Silva was PSG’s captain and spent eight years playing at the Park de Sperins, and no one has replaced him.
Marquinhos junior defender who became the captain of the team after him. And the results are not disappointing But when it comes to leadership Instead of acting as a substitute for the senior, not as good as it should be
PSG conceded four more goals in the Champions League group stage than the previous year and qualified for second only, a more promising warning: Support that looks weak Even though the team has many stars But they did not have a player who could lead the team and at this point Pochettino needed to fix it.
2. Frontline problem
PSG may claim they have two of the best strikers in the world, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, but they are missing the No.9 natural striker after the release of Edinson. Wani, a worthless body that spearheaded Uruguay Is the club’s all-time highest scorer
At this point, former manager Thomas Tuchel once admitted that the club made a mistake in releasing this style of striker.
For now, only Neymar and Mbappe are on the front line. But most of the time they didn’t stand in the middle of the door. Which tend to stretch to play on the edge of the line rather than relying on the ability to play against the opponent
To be honest, PSG also has a number 9 striker who is still with the team, Mauro Cragdi, but Argentine striker. Being injured in this season
Searching for more pages can also be a good option to lighten the burden of Neymar and Mbappe.
3.The atmosphere in the dressing room
Thomas Tuchel may have a slight feud with Leonardo, the team’s sports director. But the German coach is still a favorite among players in the dressing room.
It is difficult for a well-known manager to indulge the players’ will. In particular, the team has many players in the superstar level. And has a high ego
Pochettino will have to gain the trust of new teammates and things can quickly turn negative if he doesn’t manage in the right direction.
Mbappe has been optimistic about Tukle after the ex-boss was brutally dismissed just before Christmas. By the French national team striker Admit it was sad to see Tukle leave the team and insisted that Tukle’s gratitude would never be forgotten.
“It’s a sad rule of football. But no one will forget your time here. You wrote a great story in the history of the club. And I would like to tell you, thank you, Coach, ”Mbappe said on Instagram.
4. January is the most important
Many people think PSG will invest more in the players. After almost winning the “Big Ear” cup last season But what happened is that a permanent deal for 50 million euros is the only big deal that happened last summer.
According to media reports in France, both Tuchel and Leonardo have been clashing over the acquisition of players to improve the team.
From item 2, aside from the frontier problem There is still a midfielder where your performance is not as good as it should be, with only Marco Verratti in the top players But he was always in trouble with injuries.
Other than that The players to spare, Neymar and Mbappe, were none of their pace, and if PSG were hoping to win the title Europe to be the first time, then Pochettino had to jump into the buy-sell market. To find a world-class game creator
