“I’m not going to pay to see this team”
With the departures of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Marco Verratti this summer, Didier Roustan believes that this Parisian team lacks creative talent. And he wasn’t buying a ticket in a stadium to see this PSG. “For what they (the Parisians) are trying to do, for the team in question I wish them the best but I am not going to pay to see this team”, he guaranteed. Somewhat counter-current statements which did not fail to provoke a reaction from Internet users on social networks.
