Marquinhos perfectly embodies the evolution and ambitions of Paris Saint-Germain. Arriving at the club at 19 as a promising young talent, he became a pillar of the team and its captain at just 26 years old. His journey is important for the new project which aims to do what he achieved with the Parisian captain, namely arriving at a very young age to become the club's most capped player.
The new PSG Campus in Poissy symbolizes this training ambition. This evolution of infrastructure demonstrates the club's commitment to youth and their development. Marquinhos has since become an executive, present to guide the new generation.
For a club like PSG, which aspires to win the Champions League, the requirement must be omnipresent. This involves cutting-edge infrastructure to optimize player performance, but also targeted recruitment combining young talents and experienced players. Finally, we can also have this desire to develop a winning culture and a champion mentality on a daily basis.
But what takes precedence compared to other years is the common desire to create sporting stability and a long-term vision. The new PSG Campus represents an important step in this direction, providing players with an environment conducive to excellence.
However, to achieve its Champions League objective, the club will need to maintain this level of standards in all aspects of its operation, both safe and off the pitch.
