With its culturally diverse dressing room, it has been reported that the Paris Saint-Germain players are having a lot of problems in getting their message through which becoming a serious concern for the team’s solidarity
Not really keen on answering questions regarding his short-term future at the club, Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti might have other serious problems to take care of. The Italian manager’s first issue is regarding the language barrier within the
dressing room.
Misunderstandings and gaps in communication between the Francophones and non-Francophones seem to have set in the locker room which does not bode well for a side that has been criticised for being too individualistic in recent times.
According to L’Equipe, the gap between the French speaking and foreigners in the club is widening every week and so far, not much has been done to bridge this gap. Reports claim that not a lot of foreign recruits are willing to take the club’s assigned French
courses which are aimed to help these players settle down in an unknown territory.
Although the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxwell-c25051 are able to talk in French in a very good Moliere accent, other foreigners speak either Italian or English which clearly means that players are not really interested in letting the new environment sink in
which is very important for team’s cohesiveness.
And, recent statements of some French players have also proved that it will not be easy to build that particular sense of a community in the dressing room. Furthermore, many French players feel that Ancelotti prefers players with Italian Serie A experience
over the other ones.
A player, with the condition of anonymity slipped in, “I may take courses in Italian if I want to player.”
The dressing room is getting divided. Furthermore, Carlo Ancelotti prefers to have a dialogue with those players who know Italian rather than French which does not make the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Guillaume-Hoarau-c15332, two players who already feel left-out
by Ancelotti, happy.
Furthermore, the issue of collective bonuses has still not been taken care of.
Problems are rife at Parc des Princes which means that the club might struggle to achieve its end season objectives if things are not taken care of by the management.
