Antoine Kombouare comes out to protect http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Lugano – Ligue 1 news
Criticised from all sides, Uruguayan international Diego Lugano is going through a difficult period in his footballing career. However, his coach at Paris Saint-Germain, Antoine Kombouare has come down to the aid of a player who signed for the Ligue 1 giants
from Fenerbahce.
The Uruguayan was signed by PSG due to his vast experience and proven leadership qualities. However, the South American is proving to be far from the player many people expected him to be. Considered too slow and less committed in tackles, he was given most
of the blame of the 3-2 defeat at the hands of Dijon FC in the last 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue. His mixed start of the season has definitely raised a lot of questions on Lugano’s ability to suck up the pressure.
However, his coach is not at all worried about what critics have to say about a player he requested sporting director http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 to sign. The Kanak coach believes that Lugano is being made the victim of excessive media coverage and has asked journalists to
be patient with the experienced defender and give him some time to adapt to the club.
“When Pastore plays good you say he is a great player. When he fails to perform, you jump on him. When a player (Lugano) has arrived after a preseason, we can expect him to make a slow start. He is not superman. A player and a team is judged over time,”
said Kombouare while talking to L’Equipe.
Kombouare is right to come to the defence of his player as Lugano joined PSG after a few games in the Ligue 1 had already been played. Furthermore, after spending more than five years in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026, Lugano is understandably finding it hard to adapt to the French
football.
PSG have made a great start to the season but the team is certainly far from the finished product and mistakes will be made. Lugano, during his time at Fenerbahce made a slow start in the Turkish league as well but later on became the cornerstone of his
side.
Lugano guided http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 victory so one has to be patient with Uruguayan ace who has time and time again proved his importance to every team he has played in.
