A former PSG player says Marco Verratti should not be lumped in with the club’s biggest icons.
After eleven years at the club, Marco Verratti said goodbye to his club PSG on Friday evening. Before the French champions’ match against Nice, the Italian received a nice tribute from the public at the Parc and also from some of his former teammates.
“Lama is a PSG legend, not Verratti”
The “Little Owl” will now fly to Al-Arabi in Qatar and in Paris there will only be the trace he left in the general unconscious. But, exactly what is this trace? Would it be wise to consider Verratti a club legend?
The question was asked in particular of Jérôme Alonzo, a former member of the house. And the latter responded negatively. And arguing his opinion. “There is a legend and there is a defining player of an era. Yes, Verratti is a huge player. He won trophies and played a lot of matches. That’s no small thing in a career. But club legends are players like Rai, Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic, Lama, Dahleb and Weah. For me he is not among them “, he indicated on Amazon Prime.
This opinion of the former doorman is respectable, but it is not certain that it is shared by everyone. Placing Lama, who has only won one championship title with Paris, ahead of him, who has the record for trophies won with the Ile-de-France residents, seems questionable to say the least.
