Signed from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Gameiro-c20721’s statistics for Paris Saint-Germain are more than adequate. However, the former Lorient man certainly has an obligation to do better
Though Paris Saint-Germain boast the third best attack in Ligue 1 with 35 goals, everyday is certainly not a goal fiesta for the forward lined. Les Parisiens are constantly looking to sign a free scoring striker which means that it is certainly not easy
being a striker of PSG. As proof, when he proclaimed his desire to win titles at Parc des Princes, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Turkey-c3026 international Mevlut Erdinç finally set sail for Rennais after finally understanding that he will never be first-choice.
Always featuring for the capital club, Kevin Gameiro and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901 arrive at the Camp des Loges. Though the duo must have heaved a sigh of relief, the two will have to be responsible for leading the attack
until the end of the season.
This mission is certainly not one to be missed. Especially for Kevin Gameiro who has scored nine goals in 21 games on his debut season with the Ile club. Though his tally is honourable, it still leaves a lot to be desired due to his periods of silence which
will surely be dissected thoroughly under the microscope if they become habitual.
On the mute button since 10 December, the Senils-born striker had undergone his second goal-less patch with the first one dating back to the 16th of October 2011.
Last season, Gameiro scored 24 goals for Lorient, a goal tally that warranted a big-money move. On the other hand, as Olivier Giroud is on track to succeed former Lille man http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moussa-Sow-c26939 for the Ligue 1’s top scorer this season, Gameiro is under a lot of pressure
to deliver as he should be.
Moreover, the striker must demonstrate a capacity to shine in PSG colours as they are expected to go on another spending spree this summer. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez has not ruled out a possibility of joining the club this summer which means that Gameiro’s performances
by the end of the campaign would be scrutinised by both Carlo Ancelotti and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056.
Currently, the Frenchman is the undisputed starting striker at the club but things might change if he fails to end his goal drought. Furthermore, with Laurent Blanc set to announce his 23-man squad for the European Championships, Gameiro’s failure to score
a goal this year could jeopardise his chances of playing for Les Bleus in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 this summer.
Already under pressure since the first half of the campaign, Gameiro will have even less room for error. This probably explains the scenes of discontent that are becoming an increasing recurrence. On Saturday, Milan Bisevac scored the only goal of the game
and it became clear that if Nene fails to find the net, the club struggles to get the desired results.
Though Nene has been a constant scorer this season, he is bound to break down under such pressure which means that it’s Gameiro’s turn to put some responsibility on his shoulders. As a striker, Gameiro needs to be a killer in front of goal which, for the
time being is far from the case.
Though Carlo Ancelotti is delighted to have Gameiro in his team, he would not hesitate in putting him on the bench after six months. The second half of the campaign is a crucial one for PSG but an even more crucial one for Gameiro who needs to find his goalscoring
form once again.
Furthermore, Carlo Ancelotti has already proved that he can win games without a true striker (two weeks ago against Toulouse) and the Italian would not hesitate doing it once again this season.
