PSG, an attacker asked to keep quiet

Despite the hat-trick scored on Saturday against Reims by Kylian Mbappé, PSG is experiencing some small offensive problems. And his attackers do not necessarily have the right to talk about it.

On Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain won on the pitch at Stade de Reims, as part of the twelfth day of Ligue 1 (0-3). And Luis Enrique’s men were notably able to count on the efficiency of Kylian Mbappé, author of a saving hat-trick. But once the meeting is over, it is time for analysis and observations. Between the Parisian coach’s little dig at Mbappé and the renewed evidence of a lack of efficiency from the other PSG offensive players, the atmosphere was a little strange. Especially since some were not allowed to speak.

The scene is recounted in the Sunday edition of The Team. While the meeting was over and the players were heading one after the other towards their bus, Gonçalo Ramos notably passed in front of the journalists. If he was obviously not against an exchange with the press, the Portuguese international contented himself with four words: “ I can’t. » The sports daily gave details of this very brief sequence, saying that Ramos was, “ like all his other teammates, supervised by a member of the PSG communications department“.

Offensive recruits in difficulty

The instructions were therefore clear from the Parisian side: no speeches and no exchanges with the press, likely to address possible angry subjects. The performance of PSG’s offensive recruits arriving in the summer of 2023 is not yet glorious. Gonçalo Ramos, for example, has two goals in fifteen appearances. Not really better for Randal Kolo Muani who has three goals in eleven games. As for Marco Asensio, if his two goals in three matches looked promising, his injury contracted at the beginning of September has since prevented him from expressing himself.
