Marquinhos sank at the same time as PSG on Wednesday evening against Newcastle (defeat, 4-1). The attitude of the Parisian captain during the meeting never stops talking.
If Paris Saint-Germain conceded a first goal on Wednesday evening at St James’ Park, they owe it largely to their captain. On a completely missed full-axis restart, Marquinhos returned the ball to Miguel Almiron who was quick to open the scoring in favor of Newcastle. An action which definitively launched the English demonstration against the Parisians swept aside like never before for more than ten years in the group stage of the Champions League (4-1). When it comes to analyzing the facts, Marquinhos was not spared.
Former professional footballer now consultant for the channel The Team, Pierre Bouby gave his opinion the day after the meeting. If he conceded that the vast majority of players had missed the point against the Magpies, he especially wanted to emphasize the captain of PSG. “ There is something that alerts me, it’s Marquinhos. I can not understand. He has an attitude on the field where he is taking a monumental fire, it’s coming from all sides, and the guy is asking all his teammates to calm down. I see an attacker who comes to tackle a guy, who harangues the crowd to motivate everyone, and he says ‘But calm down guys’. But the message is dramatic, catastrophic.“
“I don’t know where he is anymore”
For the ex-midfielder, the Brazilian international did not have the right attitude. “ The Marquinhos who tackled and got up in rage, I no longer know where he is. He’s a player that I really like, but he’s too impeccable, an ideal son-in-law, I don’t see how he can defend a locker room and direct an attitude on the pitch while agreeing with everyone all the time. At some point you have to show character. There, his first relaunch is dramatic. On the second goal, everything is catastrophic. » And Pierre Bouby concludes, disillusioned: “ He disappointed me a lot and I find that he has been in a downward phase for a while.“
