We can no longer really count the examples of success of PSG in terms of recruitment in recent seasons. The Portuguese Vitinha, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes are among many others. And for most, one man is behind this success: Luis Campos. In Téléfootthe Parisian manager detailed the club’s recruitment methods and criteria.
“From the first day I spoke with the president, we always thought about building a project not only focused on the short term, but also on the medium and long term. Our idea is to take younger talents, capable of knowing how to play with others, and at the same time take intelligent players. We’re not just looking for the player who goes fast, who is intense, or very good technically. We are looking for players who are collectively very strong and with the ability to withstand pressure in a club like PSG. It’s a joint job, and the coach did an extraordinary job. We all also have this dream of having a more Parisian, French team.»
