At the Roudourou stadium, opposite Brest this Tuesday in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain set foot in the round of 16 by winning (3-0). A success obtained thanks to a double of Ousmane Dembélé after the opening of Vitinha's score on a perfectly transformed penalty.
If the French striker is undoubtedly the man in the form of PSG with his second consecutive double, the Portuguese stands out as the boss of the Parisian midfielder. In any case, this is the opinion shared by Mohamed Sissoko.
“It's the hub for this team”
The former Malian international, who has also evolved in the midfield under Parisian colors, sees Vitinha as the essential cog of this team. He even goes so far as to compare the native of Santo Tirso to Thiago Motta, an emblematic midfielder of the Red and Blue of the QSI era.
“It's the hub of this team because he can do everything. Luis Enrique asks him a lot of things but Vitinha has this ability to adapt to any situation, to understand above all the world and to place himself well. Many players have passed after Thiago Motta and Vitinha is the player that PSG needed. Because he is a mix of the qualities of these players. And what I see is that PSG with or without Vitinha is not the same thing. He does not have the vice of Motta, it is true, but it is not because you are mouth or that you put blows that you are a leader. I know it is very respected in the locker room ”, said Sissoko.
