Christophe Galtier has been upset with the poor performance of the Parisian side on their return from European competitions after the World Cup break. Moreover, the French press also launched its darts against the Argentine star and the Brazilian star.
PSG is the team that each year has the obligation stay in league 1 , due to the quality of the team and the high budget the club has compared to other teams in the same competition. However, This task is complicated for the Parisian team because they fell 1-0 against Rennes in the last day, which left them only three points above Lens, the second in the table; and five from Marseille by Alexis Sánchez. In this regard, the team TD, Christophe Galtier criticized the attitude of his players after the end of the World Cup 2022 .
And it is that the performance of PSG after the appointment in Qatar has been irregular, they beat him suffering at Racing Strasbourg , they lost in Lens (Ligue 1 goalkeepers), they beat Angers and lost again this weekend, this time against Rennes 1-0.
In this regard, Galtier said: “There needs to be awareness. You can find a thousand excusesBut you have to understand that the World Cup is over. We have ten days to work, We have two teams following us very closely with lots of points.
Next, the strategist added his complaints about the team’s lack of opportunity creation: “I am particularly disappointed with our performance. We gave our rival a lot of chances and, what’s worse, we didn’t create anything ”.
“If Leo falls, we need to have many more reference points above , that we didn’t have. With Ney, they went together to get the ball in areas where there were already people,” commented the PSG coach, who condemned as follows: “There has never been a vertical game and it’s not just something about this game. You have to find the style. Right now, there is an absence of verticality ”.
To make amends to these opaque performances, the French media The Team mentions that Galtier’s idea to improve is Show players different videos of when games went wrong and what mistakes were made.
In addition, he will seek to improve the links between attackers and midfielders, since, according to the same media: “The group has lost what made it strong in the first part of the season Yes He hasn’t shown great intensity in the last two months.
Press reviews
The 1-0 loss to Rennes also drew various criticism from the French press. One of the main targets of criticism was Neymar . Among the media who criticized Ney, the hardest was RMC Sports where journalist Daniel Riolo described the captain of Scratch as “The greatest failure in the history of football.” In the reflection, it is mentioned: “Do we realize that Neymar, in terms of hiring and salary, is the greatest failure in the history of football? This said based on the high cost the striker’s hiring meant for PSG.
The review continues below:I can’t think of a bigger failure for what it costs , it’s horrible. Just because he was fine in two games at the end of 2020 doesn’t mean he’ll save your life.
Later it was added that: “Since PSG paid a record sum for the transfer of Neymar, the club could not win the Champions League, a trophy coveted by the Qatari owners of the club. The team reached their first final of 2020, with strong performances from Neymar, but lost to Bayern Munich 1-0″.
Another outlet that also criticized Neymar’s performance was The Team Donde apuntaron al poco aporte realized por el jugador y la preocupación ante el gran defio que tendrá el club en la Champions League: lonely. The result was that he lost balls in difficult areas and almost never endangered in the Rennes region . A worrying performance one month from Bayern.
But the French press did not stop at Ney, since the world champion with Argentina, Lionel Messi , has also been criticized for the game against Rennes. The same RMC Sports liquidated the trans-Andean star stressing that his good half-season was only for the reason of arriving in full form in Qatar: “He had a good half-season as he was preparing for the World Cup I trained. Now it’s over . He is a starter because Galtier (coach), the great revolutionary with Campos (sports director), leaves him on the field”, indicated the media.
Note that Neymar, in 17 games played, registering 11 goals and 10 assists. Messi, meanwhile, He has 8 goals and 10 assists in 15 games played. Remarkable numbers, but apparently not enough for a team that needs to add three and clinch the Premier League title.
