The Paris Saint-Germain sporting director has been given a freehand over the club’s affairs but things are not looking too bright for the Brazilian as the club struggles to assert its authority in Ligue 1
Things are not looking good for Ligue 1 hotshots Paris Saint-Germain at the moment. Dumped out of the Coupe de la Ligue at the hands of AS Saint-Etienne, the Parisians lost their summit place in Ligue 1 following http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 4-1 win over rivals Olympique
de Marseille.
Although the club’s leaders have refused to indulge in pessimism after a series of undesirable results, the atmosphere in the locker room is far from a good one and the same goes for the offices at Parc des Princes where people have started getting nervous.
And, sporting director Leonardo is one of the people under a lot of pressure. The Qataris have designated the former AC Milan manager as the central character of the club’s project to dominate Europe. And indeed, Leonardo has managed to compose a team that
can give anyone a run for its money.
However, after spending more than 250 million euros in recent transfer markets, the club is yet to become a true powerhouse in French football, let alone European football. Although AS Saint-Etienne’s dominance over PSG might not have a bearing on Leonardo’s
immediate future, there will come a time when the owners would start expecting a turnaround and rapid improvement.
Reports claim that many people have been disappointed with the performances of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 who was bought for 42 million euros from Palermo last season. The young Argentine has never really justified his price-tag.
Although http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 is really spending money wisely on new players. This is due to the fact that Carlo Ancelotti’s expensive squad has been very unconvincing
against smaller sides.
And, in the locker room, there are few smiles as many players have been disappointed with the way they crashed out of the Coupe de La Ligue. The mood of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 is not really good these days as well. Though he has been in great form, the Swede
expects his teammates to do something as well.
