†The nonsense continuescriticized the After columnist on RMC. It was terrible for the youngsters because when they played they were good. I especially remember the matches of Edouard Michut and Xavi Simons at Christmas. But since there is no strategy, it is done haphazardly and usually at the worst of times. It’s not really finished until the stars don’t feel like playing. â€
†Since it is the Republic of players and they are the ones who decide, the players don’t want to play, that’s where we put the youngsters. Not by telling them “here are minutes to gain, things to do because we have a strategy”. No, that’s not it. Fortunately, you have players who don’t want to play anymore, then you have a small chancethe journalist interpreted. There, since the defeat to Real Madrid, there could have been another rotation to “challenge” the holders who hadn’t been good. But that hasn’t been the case at all, we haven’t seen any youngsters since the game against Real Madrid. â€
The Xavi Simons case
†Et lĂ maintenant qu’ils vont ĂŞtre champions et que c’est fini, Mauricio Pochettino this qu’il y aura peut-ĂŞtre des jeunes comme s’il faisait du management en disant : “On a beaucoup parlĂ© des jeunes, voilĂ ils vont arrive.” But it’s too late. With Mauricio Pochettino it is always too late. (…) Xavi Simons, unlike Edouard Michut who is a resident, is really the player we could have tested and put in competitive conditions to see what he was really worth. I think this example is indicative of what neither Mauricio Pochettino nor PSG want to do with young people, and that’s pretty awful. “, Florent Gautreau lamented, knowing that the Dutch midfielder is coming to the end of his contract.
