Very critical of Marco Verratti, Christophe Dugarry is even more so of the Parisian leaders, who, according to him, have not been sufficiently firm with the Italian.
After eleven seasons spent at PSG, Marco Verratti could pack his bags in the last days of the summer transfer window. The transalpine midfielder is notably announced on the side of Saudi Arabia, where the Al-Alhi club, which notably recruited Neymar, would offer him a golden bridge. A departure that Christophe Dugarry will not regret, who spoke very harshly about the former Pescara, whose lifestyle is far from impeccable for a high level day.
“For me Verratti, it’s over, announced “Duga” on RMC this Thursday evening He is 31 years old. He’s been there for eleven years, he never realized what the career and life of a top professional footballer was like. It’s a life choice, I made that choice too, I was a good football player but I was a wanker. He is a very, very good football player, we all agree, he shone with his talent and managed to do things that very few midfielders can do. But he is not a top athlete. »

“The leaders are the first culprits”
Then, the 98 world champion attacked the successive leaders and coaches of the “Little Owl”, who did not sufficiently frame him. “He managed for eleven years to smoke out coaches and leaders, one after the other by being extended every two years. The guilt also lies with those coaches and managers who were blinded by the immense talent of Marco Verratti, lamented Dugarry. We should have been behind him, not let go… We left him in the Parisian no man’s land, he arrived from Pescara in his small village, he arrived in Paris and said to himself: ‘It’s magnificent , I’m the most beautiful, I’m the strongest…’ Only compliments on Verratti and he drowned in all that. The leaders are the first culprits and they should have led him to be the great player he deserved to be. Now it’s too late, at 31, and he’ll never understand it. So curtain. Next. »
