If PSG has long been dependent on the performance of its superstar, the capital club can also count on other strong men in recent weeks.
Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain struck hard again by delivering an almost perfect performance against their Marseille rival (4-0). A success which still bears the signature of Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan international was the PSG player who recovered the most balls (9), while being the one who made the most tackles and won the most duels. An activity enhanced by its use of the ball.
For Javier Pastore, there is no doubt: the key man of this new PSG is Manuel Ugarte. “ I had never seen an entire match of him. I started watching him since he arrived at PSG. He is an exceptional player“, enthused the former Parisian on RMC. “ This is the key for PSG. He knows how to play well in the middle, he is always well placed, he is aggressive when pressing, he recovers the ball and passes it straight forward. »
“Thiago Motta was the last one a bit like that”
Javier Pastore even went so far as to compare Manuel Ugarte to the illustrious Thiago Motta, who played alongside the former Italian international. “ He’s a player who was missing. Thiago Motta was the last one a bit like that, even if he didn’t have the aggressiveness of Ugarte. He is a player who will give a lot to PSG“. An exit which should not leave Ugarte indifferent.
