Since arriving at Paris Saint-Germain, a lot has been expected of Argentine international Javier Pastore. Coach, Carlo Ancelotti, is keen on seeing the best of the player both on and off the field
“Pastore has to be more concentrated in the field to be a regular,” said Carlo Ancelotti during a press conference on Tuesday. Though this little phrase has seemingly gone unnoticed, it is certainly a clear signal to the former Palermo star.
The Italian tactician expects more out of the young midfielder both on and off the field.
According to Le Parisien, Ancelotti could have benched Pastore in the Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 after arriving late for warmup ahead of the game. In addition, Pastore was fined 2,000 Euros for coming late. This is perhaps what
explains the level of nervousness of the talented midfielder after being introduced in the game after break.
The former AC Milan manager expects more of a player who signed for the club for so much money. Former coach, Antoine Kombouare had also tried to restrain the youngster without much reward. Carlo Ancelotti, with all his experience should be able to get the
best out of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 like he did with Kaka during his time in AC Milan.
Argentine journalist, Hernan Campaniello, while giving an interview to Parisien, explained the reason why Pastore is so ill at ease while on the field.
“In Argentina, a number 10 is not expected to produce a lot of effort on the field. If he makes a difference, by passing, dribbling or scoring goals, he is free of defensive duties. Pastore is coming from this culture and he must make efforts to adapt to
French football. This will come with time. Unlike Messi or Aguero, Pastore will mature later, around 26-27 years.”
Certainly, Signor Campaniello has explained fairly thoroughly the mentality of a pure number 10 coming from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841. However, Javier Pastore must quickly adapt to European football. Next season, PSG may well be playing in the Champions League and Pastore
should try to take his game to the next level if he is to justify his hefty price tag.
