The players and coaching staff celebrated on the field with few fans. Outside, the team’s ultras celebrate tenth title of Paris Saint Germain in Ligue 1 of France. This painting of what happened on Saturday in the French capital serves to illustrate how tumultuous Argentine star Lionel Messi’s team is.
The Argentine’s dedication to his new club was experienced coldly, starting with his own public, which whistled and left before the title match was over. And, from that moment until this Monday, events took place that could mark the future of the Paris team: a challenging message from Neymar to the ultras, Mbappé’s reflection on his renewal and the release of possible compensation for Rosario coach Mauricio Pochettino.
The early departure to the Champions League and Coupe de France exploded the public against a star-studded squad that failed to perform as expected and they promised at the start of the season.
The highest point of discontent was seen on Saturday with 15 minutes left in the duel against Lens (1-1) and a large number of fans left their places at the stands of the Parc des Princes and waited to celebrate near the stadium.
Minutes later, in statements to ESPN, Brazilian Neymar referred to the whistles he received from the ultras at some point in the season, mainly after the elimination against Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 .
“They’re getting tired of whistling because I still have three years left on my contract”, assured. And then he added: “It’s surreal that part of the public left the gallery”.
Then came PSG’s sporting director Leonard to try to describe the present of Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, who did not specify his future as he flirted with Real Madrid and “in a stage of deep reflection”.
“Kylian speaks and says things clearly. I really believe what he says. He is in deep reflection. I think he has not made his decision. He knows what he wants and we know what he thinks. That is why it seems to me that It’s a matter of time. He is in deep contemplation to make the best decision “Leonard pointed out.
The sports director confirmed that there is “discussions” in Doha, where family members of the young striker traveled to meet with shareholders of the club led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
“I think there have always been discussions with Kylian. Kylian also talks with us, there is constant communication. He’s still meditating. He’s looking at everything.”he explained.
Having achieved tremendous success in the French League, PSG must focus on rebuilding it to try to relaunch for next season.
Beyond the continuity or not of Mbappé, another of the great unknowns is that of the coach Mauricio Pochettino. Although Rosario has another one-year contract, on Monday it was revealed that the figure will soon be agreed for his compensation.
According to French media The Parisian, DT’s departure is imminent, beyond publicly declaring that there are intentions to continue and the three titles he has accumulated in his time. If this is the case, the Parisian team must pay for him that person was not fulfilled with 15 million euros.
The dream is to sit on your bench Zinedine Zidane -which sounds like France National Team post Qatar 2022-, while another in the folder is Anthony Conte. The truth is nothing has been decided yet.
