Paris Saint-Germain comfortably top the Ligue 1 points table, 13 points ahead of second-placed Nice. PSG is also in the Champions League round of 16 but all is not well behind the scenes. In their last league game, PSG drew 1–1 with struggling Lorient and Georginio Wijnaldum saved the point in the final moments of the game.
L’Equipe has published a report on what is happening behind the scenes at PSG and it is not pleasant. From factionalism to enmity, the health of the PSG dressing room is not good.
Reportedly, the first sign of trouble at PSG was when Idrissa Guay caught the coronavirus after being denied a vaccination while being in Israel for the Trophie des Champions.
Then the signing of Lionel Messi, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Sergio Ramos did not go as planned by manager Mauricio Pochettino and also changed the atmosphere of the dressing room.
Then Messi, Donnarumma and Ramos are coming, not necessarily according to Pochettino’s plans, nor for the best atmosphere in the changing room.
During the warm-up, the group is split as Neymar and Messi warm up together while Kylian Mbappe stays with Achraf Hakimi. As for the Rondo, they are generally divided into two groups – the ‘Franco-phone-file’ and the South American. The report said that the Mbappe formerly tended to be South American but now live more with another group.
The report further suggested that in early autumn, there was a sponsor event where Neymar came in late and with a bad attitude. The club reportedly thought of sanctioning him but withdrew for fear of getting the news out.
L’Equipe reports that these events allow players to take liberties. Once, two South Americans arrived for training still “tired” from the previous night and decided not to train, even waiting for staff approval.
Another case involving Messi was when several players went out after the Ballon d’Or ceremony, but the next morning, Argent and Paredes did not return to training with “gastroenteritis symptoms” – something not appreciated by many others. Was.
Pochettino and Leonardo have taken a step back after trying to take control of the dressing room.
Ramos, on the other hand, is puzzled by the fact that it is not obligatory for the players to dine together at the training base.
Mauro Icardi was given three days off without any leave requests during his lovers’ feud with Wanda and five to six days before, the two had a very public fight in the car park at the training base.
Navas vs Donnarumma
According to the report, at first they thought they had a non-aggression agreement, but that has changed, partly due to remarks by Mino Riola and Zlatan Ibrahimovic on behalf of the Italian, who is a Raiola client.
Recently, after a match against Nice, where Donnarumma played on goal, Navas was talking to the opponent’s goalkeeper Bulka (on loan to PSG’s Nice) and he talked about wearing (selling) the same gloves. . Navas then candidly remarked that the best keepers in the world sell gloves.
With the atmosphere divided at the club, Mbappe’s contract extension is also on hold as he has not been persuaded to stay at the club. Kimpembe is also wondering if he should move to London.
The report concluded by saying, “The conditions are clearly not yet in place to form a united, federated club, ready to meet all challenges and fight all battles with a common sporting goal.”
