http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zoumana-Camara-c38101 discloses reasons for staying with Paris Saint-Germain – Ligue 1 news
Few observers of the French Ligue 1 would have expected 32-year-old Zoumana Camara to go out and make 13 appearances in all competitions for Paris Saint-Germain at a time when the club invested so heavily on new players in the summer transfer window.
When the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority took over the reins of PSG, it was expected that the veteran defender would leave the Ile club for pastures new. Last season, Camara was time and time again criticised for not being able to match the pace of the PSG team
and he was on the brink of leaving the capital club this summer.
However, things have changed a lot for the former AS Saint-Etienne man. Poor form and injuries in recent years have restricted the Frenchman to just one appearance for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 national side but things are now looking up for Camara.
Since joining PSG from AS Saint-Etienne in the summer of 2007, Camara has never been able to show the PSG faithful the type of game that made him such a hot prospect.
Camara has now come out in the open and has said the only reason why he stayed at the club was because of sporting director Leonardo whom he had a meeting with during the transfer session.
Camara admits that his future was blurred before the arrival of Leonardo. Camara says that his discussion with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 changed everything for him. “‘Will you be part of the new PSG?’, he asked me and I said yes. For me, all that has now happened is just
a bonus,” said http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan coach.
Camara admits that he came on the back of a woeful season in which he never performed well to justify his place at the club. however, Camara is now ready for what lays ahead in the future of the club.
“We are at an exceptional point of history of this club and this is the time I want to live. I don’t know if I’ll be there tomorrow or not – that’s how sport is. You have to fight to play and I was ready to fight,” said an emotional Camara before pointing
out that he is looking to play atleast 25 games before the end of the campaign.
Leonardo has definitely played his part in getting the best out of the ageing yet vastly experienced defender.
With so much competition in defence, Camara has done admirably well to become a crucial part of a club that is looking to rub shoulders with the best teams in Europe and no one would have thought that Camara would be so crucial to the PSG cause especially
after the arrival of the likes of Lugano and Bisevac in the team.
