In a long interview with France Football, Leonardo takes stock of the hot issues of PSG and takes the opportunity to slip some tackles to the former Parisians.
Since his return to the post of sporting director of the PSG, Leonardo made several very important decisions. Last summer, he let slip several players whose contracts were about to expire. This is the case ofEdinson Cavani, Thiago Silva, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting or Thomas miller. On the other hand, Leonardo also recorded the departure of Thomas Tuchel during the season, replaced by Mauricio Pochettino. And obviously, the Brazilian leader does not regret anything.
Tuchel and Meunier take it for their rank
Indeed, in the columns of France Football, Leonardo notably pronounced on the departure of Thomas miller, who entered freely with the Borussia Dortmund. And with Alessandro Florenzi, the sports director of PSG is not unhappy to have changed side: ” Florenzi has arrived and, frankly, it’s worse than Meunier? Thiago Silva, he was replaced at the leadership level by Marquinhos, his natural successor. »Precisely, concerning Marquinhos, Leonardo also seems delighted with his return to center-back as Thomas Tuchel had used it several times in midfield. Released on the fact that the captain of PSG is more comfortable in the axis of the defense, Leonardo does not fail to ironize about the situation: “ It was you who said it. But I think so too. (Mischievous smiles.) » Thomas Tuchel and Thomas miller will probably appreciate the statements of their former athletic director.
