It is not only on the ground that the Paris Saint-Germain has changed its policy. Apart from the green rectangle, too, the habits have changed in the training center of the capital's club or in the stadium changing rooms.
The novelty lies in particular in the use of French as a dominant language in the locker room. A normality that was not one a few years ago …
Paris Saint-Germain impresses Europe this season.
If some executives like Javier Pastore, Edinson Cavani, Thiago Silva, Marco Verratti and Marquinhos quickly learned to tame the language of Molière, other international stars refused to do so, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Neymar.
Luis Enrique also learns French
It is not only the players who intend to master the French in the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain. Luis Enrique also has the will. The Spanish technician has also used to respond in French in his exchanges on PSG TV before press conferences. A will that does not only concern the external environment. The technician also puts his instructions into French.
“I sincerely think that whatever the language of the locker room, this is an example of what the world is, he explained. In the world, there are several languages. It is important that the French speak of other languages. But it is a French club so learning the language of the country in which I am and works is vital. It is a motivation. I will speak French when I master it even more. When we speak a new language, we understand better culture, the country. »»
