Usually media shy, the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder spoke about how much he has developed during his 12-month stay in Paris
Argentine international, Javier Pastore was Paris Saint-Germain’s first marquee signing of the Qatari regime. Signed from US Citta di Palermo for 42 million euros last summer, the young midfielder made a terrific start to life in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
However, after a few weeks, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Huracán-c39548 player’s influence in the side waned as he struggled to dominate the centre of the park. Furthermore, the youngster’s inability to stamp his authority during high-profile matches was also exposed.
Now, the 23-year-old has started getting back on his feet again and is keen on doing a great season with his club. While talking to France Football, Pastore admitted that his performances have slipped under the radar as this summer, PSG bought even more
important players than him at a high price.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side’s credentials have gone twofold following the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 and AC Milan respectively. And, Pastore feels that he no longer feels the burden of a hefty price on his shoulders.
“I was the first to be recruited at a high price. That had its weight at one point, but it’s behind me now. I no longer have this weight on my shoulders. I miss out on a game, Ibrahimovic or Verratti can have a good game, we win and my performance goes unnoticed.
Obviously I’m much more relaxed, especially because I can rely on a group of great quality.”
Behind the scenes, the youngster can play his real game, without really forcing his nature. Many people expected http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 to be the goal-getter when he joined PSG. However, the attacking midfielder argues that he loves to pass the ball and would still
pass the ball to a teammate if the goal is wide open.
“I’m not known for scoring a lot of goals or contend for the leading scorer. I’m here to help the team play well.”
El Flaco admits that there are times when he disappears during games and feels that it’s only because he needs to concentrate more while on the field.
