This summer, PSG welcomed only two new players (plus third goalkeeper Renato Marin). Lucas Chevalier replaced Gianluigi Donnarumma, who left for Manchester City, and Illia Zabarnyi arrived to strengthen the competition at central defender, and take over from Marquinhos the day the captain gives up. But after several months of competition, it is clear that the ex-Lille player and the former Bournemouth player are not convincing many people. The goalkeeper had another difficult evening yesterday against Tottenham, while the Ukrainian has been making a number of mistakes since the start of the season. Nothing to worry about either, says Marquinhos on the airwaves of RMC.
“Yes, that reassures me (what he sees in training, editor’s note). Sometimes it’s different when you see them in training and when you see the match. In training, you can see a lot more of what they can bring, we see it on a daily basis. It really reassures me the qualities they have, especially with the mentality they also have, the mentality to continue working, to always work, to always try to give your best. Even if we, as players, have difficult times, the next day, we have to come here, continue to work to get out of difficult times.“, assures the captain, who also experienced hard times at PSG before becoming its captain.
