I of course have watched him, like 90% of the people here who follow CL or international football have. What's clear on the other hand is that you don't rate him based on what PSG fans you know say, and are quite vocal about it for over a year now. So lets do this again. Ancelotti, Blanc, Emery. Why didn't any of these coaches request an upgrade for all these years? They all started him for what, 5 years now? In a team that can easily afford any or most of the players you consider better no less, and has been spending like crazy on new players every summer. And I'm not even that much of a fan of him, but the way you present him as some Rincon level scrub is ridiculous
And he's right.
The psg has two problems:
- despite all the Qatar money has a lack of attractiveness, even offering crazy sums the big players do not want to come.
Look at their recruitment apart from ibra and silva (because the milan needed money), cavani because they paid a clause and pastore and marquinhos that were overpaid, the other players recruited are average at best; berchiche krycho, ben arfa jese meunier kurzawa trapp ....
-and their second problem is that their management is incompetent. They are aggressive in offering huge salaries because they know that if marquinhios or verratti leave the club for example they will be unable to take another player of that caliber.
For years they have been looking to replace Motta which is at the end of life with krychoviak stombouli cabaye but none got to take his place, Matuidi it's the same.
Deschamps is far from being a reference so much this type as coach is mediocre, you saw the euro, it is a miracle that France went to the final so it was weak. Since 2012 it is still unable to give a nice style of play to this team, when you compare germany or spain it is another world.
He prefers to play physical and defensive players (matuidi sissoko rami bakayoko) rather than technical players (umtiti, kante lacazette dembele ...), no wonder he loves, technically he must recognize himself in him.
