Seen and read about PSG in the French press this Saturday January 11, 2025. The challenges to face for Bradley Barcola in this second part of the season, PSG dreams of making the big move Khvicha Kvaratskhelia…
In today’s edition, The Team
focuses on the challenges facing Bradley
Barcola in this new year. Less in sight at the end of 2024, the winger of PSG carried the Parisian attack during the first part of the season thanks to his goals first (10 goals in Ligue 1) but also his dribbling. Then, the French international’s performances ran out of steam as the season progressed with the impression that he had to reinvent himself in his game. “The attacker does not feel weakened however. He experienced serious fatigue at the end of the year and let the club know. Luis Enrique managed it by making it blow (substitute in three of the last four matches). » But, with the rise of
Désiré Doué and interest in recruiting
Khvicha Kvaratskheliathe former Lyonnais will have to launch his second part of the season on new bases.
Luis Enrique is convinced that competition pulls its players to the top and the potential arrival of the Georgian
Paris will reshuffle the cards on the left side of the Parisian attack. But nothing to scare Bradley
Barcola. This motivates him even more to grow.
“After the year of revelation, he acquired a new dimension and always felt the confidence of Luis Enrique. He arrives at a pivotal period in his young career: the moment to assert himself and gain personality to embrace the role of technical leader. »
If he managed to be confusing for his opponents thanks to his hooks and body feints during his first two professional seasons, the 22-year-old Frenchman must now renew his range of dribbling. To improve this,
Bradley Barcola carries out video analysis work at the training center with Luis Enrique and his staff but also outside. Since last year, he has placed a lot of emphasis on his role without the ball, his body orientation and finding himself in the right areas. He knows that his salvation will come from the collective. The desire of the staff to give more freedom to
Nuno Mendes pushed the international tricolor to have a more internal role where the benchmarks and instructions are different. Another challenge for number 29 of the Rouge & Bleu: to score in Champions League. If he managed to take a step forward on the national scene, in
C1he lacks efficiency like all of his offensive teammates. The player is aware of this and has put in place, beyond the collective sessions, work “to become more decisive, especially in the last gesture. » Finally, its final objective will be to establish itself sustainably with the French team. Since theEuro 2024, Bradley Barcola has a different status with the Blues. However, he remains on two failed outings, including a very poor last start against
Israel (0-0). The return of Kylian Mbappé will reconfigure the offensive animation and places will be expensive with the presence of Michael Olise
et Christopher Nkunku. But, if the attacker
Real Madrid occupies the axis of attack,
Bradley Barcola will have a chance to seize on the left wing.
For his part, The Parisian discusses the file Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. In the eyes of Luis Enrique
et Luis Camposthe track leading to the Georgian is seen as an opportunity to raise the level of the team. If the PSG had to put a stop to this file last summer, this time, things are developing favorably. THE
Napoli is less closed to the idea of the 23-year-old’s departure, which led the French champion to reconnect with the Italian club recently. This change is explained by the silence of the left winger regarding his contract extension with the Neapolitans. “Linked until 2027 to training led by Antonio Contethe Georgian has still not provided a response, which tends to somewhat tense the Italian management, now more attentive to external approaches. » Apart from the
PSGanother club whose name has not been filtered is showing interest. A check for €80M could convince the
Napoli to let go of his offensive player. The hypothesis of a non-call for this weekend’s match against
Hellas and Verona would inflame this issue a little more. Although it is still too early to speak of a positive outcome because it will also depend on many factors (a player included in the deal or a sale of Marco Asensio or
Randal Cole Muani to provide liquidity), the PSG can count on the support of the Georgian international.
Indeed, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia “Is excited about the idea of continuing his career in the red and blue jersey, even if we refuse to make any comments to those around him for the moment. An enthusiasm that remains mutual as demonstrated by the tenacious desire to Luis Campos in this matter »reports LP. This file responds to the desire to Luis Enrique to bring competition in the offensive sector with a player who has great experience despite his young age. Above all, the 23-year-old winger’s style of play fits the philosophy of the Spanish technician and can bring a creative touch to the left lane of the attack. If this arrival can be seen as a brake on the progress of Bradley
Barcolawe must above all see this as added value to the current workforce. The Parisian management maintains intact confidence in the French international. Especially since Luis Enrique will not hesitate to make a greater rotation in order to rest certain executives more during this second part of the season. ” At any rate, Paris is aware that this matter could drag on over time and looks elsewhere if the negotiations ever fail. The decision-makers are thus exploring in parallel another avenue of attack whose name has not yet filtered. But as of today, plan A is called more than ever
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia »concludes the Ile-de-France daily.
