His presence is permanent, but his media speech is rare. It was on the RMC antenna that Luis Campos, the PSG sports director, agreed to return to the last months experienced by the Ile -de -France club, from victory in the Champions League at the start of this new season, with necessarily the summer transfer window as a new tag. The transfer window is precisely questioned, while injuries accumulate and certain posts clearly give the impression of lacking specialists.
But like what Luis Enrique already declared, Luis Campos fully assumes this transfer window at three arrivals, including two guards (knight, sailor and zabarnyi). “” We all worked together. We are zero regret, we did what we thought we were doing. Didn't the coach want an extended workforce? Yes of course. In all my career, when I have the responsibility of the sports sector, I have always listened to my coaches well. This is one of the secrets of my successes. I want to help my coaches to see on the field how they think football. Luis Enrique said how he wanted the team to be structured. He wanted a central defender with these characteristics, a new goalkeeper. The PSG game is difficult to understand for the opponent and it's easier for us to win the matches. (…) Why do we take a central and not another right back? We have many more direct games today. You have to get size, a player at ease with the ball. You must have more solutions and variables. ».
Donnarumma disappointed Campos
So much for the arrival department. Another question was invited, with the Gianluigi Donnarumma case. Imperial in the conquest of the Champions League, at the top of his art, the Italian was however pushed towards the exit, with the arrival of Lucas Chevalier, a consequence of difficult negotiations for a contract extension. And that, Luis Campos wanted to make it understood. “” Donnarumma is a set of circumstances that led to his departure. When he requests a salary at the PSG before, not current PSG … Our policy is very linked to merit, you earn more when you deserve it. We took time to discuss the question of Gigio. We had to find solutions if we do not arrive at an agreement ». He also made it clear that he had been shocked by the Italian's requests. “” It was difficult at the start to understand the requirements of Donnarumma. He was the first player with whom we talked about renewal. But we quickly understood that it would be difficult. The coach said he could then perhaps take advantage of it so that the team is stronger with the ball. When we can make PSG more French, we will do it. This is not new. If there is a good player who has the profile for our team, we will try to do it “He said.
So, despite the injuries and the small blows that accumulate at the start of the season, will PSG manage to maintain the same level of performance? Campos does not forbid anything, especially as finances, and the desire of the players to join the capital are green. “” PSG is prepared to maintain its balance to, in January or next summer, do the necessary recruitment, well thought out with the coach and the president. Even in this year of great difficulty for French football, we have green accounts thanks to the LDC and the World Cup of clubs. We have made money on the ground. The players want to sign at PSG, it's a force today. I travel a lot, I spend a lot of time in airports, I see more and more young people for PSG. And in the future, it will be much easier to recruit. Because the brand is much stronger “, He said. Always safer from his method and the strategy applied by PSG, Luis Campos sees a bright future for the capital's club.
