Emmanuel Petit Voices Concerns Over PSG’s Diminished Strength

Following Paris Saint-Germain’s disappointing 1-2 defeat against AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, Emmanuel Petit, a consultant for RMC radio, has expressed doubts about the reigning French champion’s performances at the start of this season.

« It’s the impression it leaves me since the beginning of the season. They have changed their sporting plan, many players have left, others have arrived and are young; it needs to gain strength with a new coach and a new philosophy. I understand that, » said Petit.

« Nevertheless, when I finish watching a PSG match, I feel that last year there were players much more calibrated, capable of making differences. There was already a dependence on Mbappé, but it was shared with Neymar and Messi. Today, if Mbappé doesn’t score, I don’t know who will. »

« Even worse, I have never seen PSG concede so much defensively and have a block so divided. There are deficiencies in every line, with a lower level; I consider that the team is weaker than last year, » analyzed the former Chelsea midfielder on Friday.
