Even if Didier Deschamps maintained his confidence in the French team when he played very little in club, Randal Kolo Muani (26) knew that his situation became untenable in Paris Saint-Germain. With only 11 goals and 7 assists in 54 games, all competitions combined, RKM has never justified the ⬠90 million invested by the capital's club in the summer of 2023. Become the replacement for the replacement in the capital, the Ancient Nantes had no future under the orders of Luis Enrique and the mockery about it became legion.
Loaned (without purchase option) this winter at Juventus, Kolo Muani finally found a place to bounce back. Author of 5 goals in 3 games, RKM even did better than that: he amazed everyone in Italy and installed Dusan Vlahovic on the replacement bench. Tonight, opposite the PSV (2-1), the Frenchman did not score, but he was happy to participate in the success of his family. Smiling, he then took the time to stop at the microphone of Canal+ To evoke his situation.
“I had to play playing time”
“It's part of the footballer's career, you always have to fight, progress, go forward. For me, it is continuing to work, give the best of me. I'm particularly happy with the victory tonight “he said, before the journalist asked him if he finally felt released since his departure from PSG. “I had to play playing time, I need it, I am a person who likes to be on the field, like any footballer. Maybe it was in the wrong direction, there, I feel better. »»
Helded by Thiago Motta, Did Kolo Muani suffer from the lack of confidence of Luis Enrique? āYou can say that it is confidence, but it is also on my side. Work, let go. I continue to work, I do what I can do best. As long as I'm on the ground, I'm happy. »» Randal Kolo Muani found a smile, and it shows.
