11 years old. Marco Verratti experienced things at Paris Saint-Germain during this long period, during which he knew several coaches (Ancelotti, Blanc, Emery, Tuchel, Pochettino, Galtier and even Luis Enrique) and numerous partners in the midfield. For many supporters, the blessed period turned out to be that of the beginnings of the QSI era, with Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic, Motta and co. And for Marco Verratti, it’s obviously the same thing. During an interview given to The Team, the Italian midfielder, who left for Al-Arabi in Qatar this summer, revealed his favorite era within the Ile-de-France club. With meaningful declarations on locker room unity since…
“It was a different time but in the first years we were a very close-knit group. The French, the Italians, the new… It’s also another generation. The locker room problems remained there, we talked to each other. We were friends, we went on vacation together. At the beginning it was a little hard with the French but then we were always together, the Douchez, Chantôme, Jallet, even the 4th goalkeeper. All with the same goal. Then, we had stronger but less united teams. When you win, it’s easy to be friends. But when the first problems arrive you see if it really is a great group. I think that’s the problem we had afterwards, it wasn’t the same anymore.”, he explained, lucidly. It remains to be seen whether this problem has been resolved with the new group composed this summer.
