Tension is rising on the PSG side. Dispossessed of her captain's armband at the start of the season, Grace Geyoro complained again (without mentioning it) about her coach, Fabrice Abriel.
The 2024-2025 season that Grace Geyoro is experiencing is strange to say the least. At club level, the midfielder has gone from downgrade to downgrade since this summer and the arrival on the bench of Fabrice Abriel.
The Paris Saint-Germain coach removed the captain's armband at the start of the season and recently, Geyoro was even left at home during the match against Dijon (6-1). Fortunately for the player, the climate is quite different on the French team side since she continues to be called up by Laurent Bonadei. She spoke about her overall situation.
In remarks relayed Tuesday by The TeamGrace Geyoro confirmed the more than tense relations with her trainer. Taking care, however, never to cite it, the international was clear: “I can’t control what people say, what happens. I can do nothing against wickedness and injustice. I want to be me, above all. » For his part, Fabrice Abriel was questioned on the subject by Canal+ a few days earlier:
“We will support him to find a starting place. It's my decision, that's why I'm a coach. I have this difficult role of selecting the team, I don't explain everything, all the time, in the media, it stays between us. It's well detailed between us, there is no problem. »
Geyoro sends a message to Abriel
No problem, maybe. Incomprehension, surely. And Grace Geyoro is not unhappy with the arrival of the new international break with two friendly matches that the Blues will play against Nigeria (November 30) and Spain (December 3). “I couldn’t wait. It's a real breath of fresh air. Here I can train properly, express myself, play and have fun. Laurent Bonadei relies heavily on me, so I give my best for him! This confidence is nice. »
Words with a double meaning and which resonate as a very clear message, intended for Fabrice Abriel whose choices do not pass muster with Grace Geyoro. Under contract with PSG until June 2028, will the Frenchwoman last much longer in such an atmosphere, or will she choose to make a decision that would allow her to find playing time elsewhere?
