Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
If PSG lost on home soil against FC Barcelona in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, it was due to the failure of the leaders according to Jérôme Rothen. The former Parisian believes that certain executives like Kylian Mbappé or even Gianluigi Donnarumma were not at the level this Wednesday evening (2-3 defeat).
The PSG started this Champions League quarter-final in the worst possible way by losing, on home soil, against FC Barcelona. The Parisian club no longer has a choice, it must win next Tuesday in Catalonia to reach the semi-finals. But for this, the executives of Luis Enrique will have to raise their level.
“Luis Enrique was betrayed by his leaders”
Because for Jerome Rothen, the performances of some like Kylian Mbappé or Gianluigi Donnarumma were disappointing. “Luis Enrique was betrayed by his leaders Mbappé and Donnarumma” he confided on RMC. But the former player PSG estime that Luis Enrique also has a share of responsibility, in particular because of its management with Mbappé. “You change the positions by telling everyone: his role is to be number 9 on the team. He played there for months and now his role is on the left and limit when he is not on the left he is on the right. It’s impossible to understand anything anymore,” he said.
Donnarumma missed
On the other hand, he seriously questions the level of Donnarumma. “What’s terrible is that we have the impression that this year he had found the solution. He managed the pressure, the turnover, and he was efficient and had regained consistency and there was the first match where you expected him… (…) He no longer has any excuses with the CV he has now. He’s no longer a young goalkeeper, he no longer has (Keylor) Navas in his hands, he was put number one and you have to take responsibility. If you don’t take responsibility for it and your club only asks that you pass the course… In a home match, your goalkeeper like your best player must be much better” confided Rothen.
