An emblematic player in the history of Paris Saint-Germain made strong comments about Marco Verratti this Wednesday.
Shipped to Qatar after 11 years in Paris, Marco Verratti entered the closed circle of legends of the capital club. Talented, classy, daring, the little Italian embodied this mixture of elegance and impertinence that the public at the Parc des Princes adores. But it was not unanimous. Often criticized for his lifestyle, Marco Verratti saw a former teammate come to his aid.
Blaise Matuidi, who has long formed a fantastic midfield trio with Verratti and Thiago Motta, spoke highly of the “ little owl ». “ We have the impression that he could perhaps have done even more, undoubtedly. But, still, we are not going to take away everything he has done and all the titles he has won, explained the 2018 world champion for L’Équipe. This is not trivial. So, yes, when you’re a PSG fan, you can stay hungry. As a former teammate, he impressed me with his talent, his humility, above all, and his simplicity.“
“Marco Verratti has always been a great pro! »
Blaise Matuidi assures that Marco Verratti has never arrived late for a training session. “ Marco has never hidden the fact that he is a bon vivant. Don’t forget that at the start, he’s a kid who arrives in Paris from Pescara! It’s not the same pace of life. But he also knew how to be serious. I can assure you that Marco never arrived late for training, that he was always a great professional. » Words which echo the incessant criticisms of the little Italian’s detractors.
