Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, defended yesterday at the microphone of Sky Sports the current project and coach Luis Enrique while there are rumors of tensions with several players. Near The Team, the Parisian leader provided a layer of confidence and protection.
Al-Khelaïfi « This requires patience and perseverance, not wild panic. »
« I can't believe what is written and I even find it ridiculous sometimes, but we don't let it affect us at all. We have started a new phase in the club's development. Transformation and change take time.
It takes patience and perseverance, not wild panic when things don't always go your way or the wind blows.
We have a short, medium and long term strategy and I fully believe in the coachto the players, to our entire team. Our project has solid foundations and we will continue to build it.
Al-Khelaïfi « I have absolute confidence in the project. »
We have changed so much at the club in recent years, we are building a collective on and off the pitch, we have strengthened the institution, we have opened the best training center in the world in Poissy.
I have absolute confidence in the project, the coach, the sports advisor (Luis Campos) and our team, and we will continue to evolve. And when times are tough, we support each other, that's what a good club does, that's what our supporters do too, who are incredible. »
The message is still very clear, and appreciable, there is no question of turning everything upside down for a few bad results. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi does not even mention it, we continue with the hope of being heard by some, these are not even completely failed matches without a lot of play or effort.
There are some interesting things, whether you totally agree with the game idea or not. At least it exists and allows for many opportunities. The goals are missing. It is of course essential in football, but probably not enough to change everything, starting with the coach.
This team must strengthen itself, undoubtedly with good moves during the transfer window. Also with time, because there are many young players. They must gain experience, learn to manage the tension of big nights. This more complicated period is also a time to grow.
The president of PSG avoids the panic that some want to create. This does not mean that there is not work to help the players, the staff and to recruit. With an offensive trigger, Paris can quickly reverse the situation in Europe. The return of Gonçalo Ramos (23) is already a point that can help.
