Canal+ columnist Laure Boulleau believes she knows why Paris is struggling to perform well this season.
PSG have played five matches since the start of the season but have only won two. Last Friday, the French champion was even trapped at home by Nice (2-3). A clearly insufficient record for a team that aspires to conquer the Champions League.
Sunday evening, Laure Boulleau, a former player of the club, gave her analysis on what is wrong within the Ile-de-France team. For her, the main problem lies in the midfield. “Without Manuel Ugarte it’s complicated. You are missing a being and everything is depopulated. I think Luis Enrique will not be able to bring the same midfielder back to the Champions League. Zaire-Emery – Vitinha, it lacks intensity for me. There’s a lack of guys too, I think.”
“Soler does not have the level of PSG”
A judgment also shared by Samir Nasri. “In the middle, it’s very light. And I don’t understand Enrique’s choice to play Carlos Soler. He doesn’t have the level of PSG. And when Mbappé is missing, it will also be the desert ahead”
Problems in the middle, in attack and also in defense according to Boulleau: “Milan Skriniar, he defends well, but he is heavy.”
