Journalist Pia Clémens pointed out Marquinhos’ behavior towards Carlos Soler.
Marquinhos took it for his stride. France Bleu journalist Pia Clémens accused the Paris Saint-Germain captain of snobbery. She particularly expressed her dissatisfaction with the Brazilian central defender, pointing out that he seemed to deliberately avoid passing the ball to Carlos Soler several times during the match against Orléans (1-4) last Saturday. Clémens noted that the Auriverde had refused no less than 42 times to pass to his Spanish teammate during the Coupe de France match.
“There is something that annoys me,” said the columnist for 100% PSG La Tribune. Basically, I really like Marquinhos and I don’t like people to criticize him unnecessarily. But there, in Saturday’s match, how possible and acceptable it is that you ostensibly refuse to pass to one of your teammates, in this case Carlos Soler, 42 times in the match. »
And added: “When you see how unbalanced the game is between left and right, it’s not possible, even for team cohesion. Each time it was the same, he always finished to the right on Carlos Soler, he glanced over Soler who was always completely alone on the touchline. He looked at him, and he turned his back on him and went back by Danilo. And at some point, I don’t understand that. »
Injustice denounced
The radio host also judged that Soler had been better during his last two appearances for Paris, despite the criticism he received. “Okay, Soler had been dropped before but he had been better in the last two matches. I don’t want to defend Soler but he takes dirty notes but he never has the ball so it’s normal. »
