Transferred to Paris Saint-Germain last summer, Randal Kolo Muani is struggling to justify the €90 million invested in him by the capital club. With the Rouge et Bleu, the former resident of FC Nantes and Eintracht Frankfurt has a meager record of 7 goals and 2 assists in 20 matches, all competitions combined. Often mocked for his ghostly performances, will RKM manage to raise the bar and be as decisive as he was in Germany (26 goals, 17 assists in 50 matches)? The French international can count on the support of his former coach at the FCN, Vahid Halilhodzic. The famous Bosnian technician also has some advice for PSG to hope to obtain better goalscorer performance.
“Randal is fortunate to be able to play in all positions of the attack, but I find that he still has difficulty positioning himself, does not always take the right information, and does not yet make the right calls at the point. It will take him time to get the hang of this position. For me, he is never as good when he can be thrown deep: he needs space to show himself. Now he has to be more killer in front of goal when the coach gives him a chance. (…) You have to give him a little time, even if he has his character. When I knew him, he was a bit cool, sometimes indifferent, almost careless during certain warm-ups. You have to be behind him and stay attentive to what he is doing, while trying not to be too harsh. Randal is someone who needs affection, so you have to find the right balance on how to handle it. You have to be on the right level with him because he can shy away or be shy when you interact with him.”he declared to the Parisian.
