There are already those who begin to doubt Pochettino barely a year after his arrival at PSG. His ways, always diplomatic and correct with his players, can be counterproductive for a dressing room used to having too much power. L’Équipe explains this morning that the Argentine coach has lost credit within the group for being more flexible on the account when perhaps he would have to have a stronger hand.
It happens, however, that Pochettino he has never had that profile. Neither at Espanyol, nor at Southampton, nor at Tottenham, much less now at PSG, where he knows that the protagonism is of the footballers. That docile character has good things but at the club, for example, he did not like that the coach allowed the group to party to celebrate the seventh Ballon d’Or of Messi 48 hours from facing Nice in the league.
The waters go down turmoil in Paris after two draws that have hinted at the little evolution that has taken place since the season began. The newspaper Le Parisien assures that Messi he is not quite comfortable in the field because Pochettino has not managed to fit in next to Neymar already Mbappé. Always according to this information, the player’s environment doubts the tactical abilities of a coach who is on the tightrope more than ever.
