Defeat is always difficult, but it gets worse when it comes to PSG. Especially after the heavy defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu, which led to the elimination in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team hasn’t done well since then, not even in France. On the final day they surrendered to Monaco (3-0) and there was a split in the dressing room, according to RMC Sport.
It is difficult to manage a team with many citizens and many stars. Pochettino has had the complex role of putting together a team that aspires to everything in the sport while maintaining a balance playing in matches in a star-studded team.
So far it seems that he has not succeeded in any area. According to the above source, the dressing room was divided: South Americans on one side and French speakers on the other. Feeling renewed after the defeat in Monaco.
In Paris Saint-Germain, camaraderie is missing in difficult times, as quoted by Agence France-Presse: “When a player like Neymar is assaulted on the field, there are automatically four or five players from the team surrounding the referee and the opponents. But you don’t see the same thing when a big mistake is made against a player like Achraf Hakimi.”
They say the Moroccan full-back is a clear example of the split in the dressing room, as he gets along well with Mbappe but rarely has any contact with his South American teammates.
In the French team, they are also aware of the lack of commitment and character of some players. The jerky months are still expected in Paris and the Argentine coach is even more complicated.
