Pauleta does not mince her words. Indeed, the former Paris Saint-Germain striker returned to the very tense first meeting with Vahid Halilhodžić at the current leader of Ligue 1. During a speech at the microphone ofHere Paris Île-de-Francethe former Parisian told a funny anecdote, particularly about the beginnings of their collaboration, when the capital club was experiencing the post-Ronaldinho era. “In the evening, Vahid calls me into his room to talk with me. I arrive and he starts threatening me everywhere. The first time he spoke with me, he said to me “But who do you think you are? Here the boss at PSG is me, it’s not you. Ronaldinho was the same, that’s why he left” he would have told her.
Then, the former Portuguese striker continued bitterly. “The guy did everything to get me to come, he called me 50 times for me to come to Paris. I left the room, I called my agent, I wanted to go back to Bordeaux, I didn’t want to stay here. He didn’t want another Ronaldinho to arrive at PSG, who thinks he’s going to do what he wants. For me, that’s not my way of being in life, nor in football. He wanted to impose himself immediately”. Words that could have hurt the star. Ultimately, the two men worked together for a year and a half, until Halilhodžić left in 2005.
