According to Luis Campos, a new revolution is brewing at PSG. Three years after abandoning the star policy promoted by the capital club since its takeover by Qatar in favor of young aspiring players, the French champions would now like to rely on its training center.
“ No longer need to go to the market to spend large sums”, this is the new credo of the Portuguese leader, the former Monegasque aspiring to see PSG evolve with
“a Parisian team”, as he explained to
The Team. “Just because we go to the supermarket a lot doesn’t make us good cooks,” he imagined, adding: “PSG is attentive to all major opportunities but we are not going to pile up players or endanger the club’s economy. »
There are currently only five within the professional group to have passed through the Parisian training center: Zaire-Emery, Mayulu, Kamara, Mbaye and Ndjantou and none is currently an indisputable starter.
“We are just very, very far from the mark”
“They can make whatever turn they want. They can spend less or more, no problem. But we are just very, very far from the mark, nevertheless noted Daniel Riolo at the microphone of RMC. If we take the eleven who are European champions. The goalkeeper? No! People will tell me that we could have kept Maignan, ok let’s admit. The right back who is an extraordinary player? Before we formed one like that at PSG, I haven’t had a trace of one lately. The left rear? We don’t even talk about it. The hinge? The last good level central defender who played in the Champions League is Presnel Kimpembe…”
“In midfield, I want to but before we get to… because Joao Neves is a very young player in case we have forgotten him… Neves, Vitinha and Ruiz, before this type of players are trained in France, we will have to review a lot of programs”, he continued, adding: “Everyone has in mind the foot-to-ball contact of these players as well as their playing intelligence? It’s going to take some work! (…) When you start at six years old to achieve that, you still have to work differently. I say they can do it but it will take a little time. »
“Afterwards, offensively, there are the players who are there. These are French players, who were not trained at PSG but that means that you knew how to do it in France for DouĂ©, for DembĂ©lĂ© or Barcola”he continued, concluding: “I think that there is still a lot, a lot, of room and reforms in the way of shaping our players and making them professionals before succeeding in making this famous fantasy of putting eleven kids like Guardiola’s Barça. »
