A former PSG coach does not want to believe that Fabian Ruiz is European champion with Spain.
At the start of the 2024/2025 season, PSG is blowing hot and cold collectively. And this is also the case for its individualities. If some rise to the occasion, others disappoint. In the second category, we find in particular Fabian Ruiz. The Spaniard is simply unrecognizable since the start of the season.
While he was so brilliant with La Roja during the Euro, the former Valencian is only a shadow of himself with the French champions. A contrast that surprises Alain Giresse, the former Paris coach. Speaking for Le Parisien, he said: “In terms of state of mind and professionally, he seems perfect. But when we see him with Paris, we don't say to ourselves that he is European champion, it's impossible! »
“Fabian Ruiz may have a psychological problem”
The former French international detects a mental problem in the Parisian number 8: “It’s not easy to decipher. In general, it is quite the opposite that happens with a player who performs well at club and who has more difficulty in the selection. Maybe it's psychological… At PSG, even if Luis Enrique advocates a game of possession, he has attackers who take up space and demand more long play. He lacks players with whom he could make connections in combined or preparation play.”
The Spanish left-hander has so far only started five matches with the Ile-de-France residents. That being said, it should be noted that his only absence in the eleven at European level coincided with PSG's defeat against Arsenal. He also maintains credit with Luis Enrique, who opposed his departure last summer.
