The end of the Paris Saint-Germain season is turning into a nightmare. While the Parisian club has had a series of defeats (six losses in the last seven meetings), the atmosphere is starting to become very tense in the environment of the Rouge et Bleu, like the action put in place by the members of the CUP (Collectif Ultra Paris) at Camp des Loges on Monday to demand the resignation of the management of PSG, the symbol of this very delicate sporting situation according to the supporters of the capital club. In addition to the demonstration of their own supporters in front of the PSG training camp, the Parisian leaders must manage another business in parallel.
Lionel Messi’s trip to Saudi Arabia particularly crystallizes passions. Especially since the Parisian club’s last defeat against Lorient this Sunday at the Parc des Princes was still on everyone’s mind. After two cancellations already because of the poor results of the Rouge et Bleu, the Pulga was obviously obliged to go to the Middle East as part of its contract with the tourist office of the Gulf country. But more than the reason, it is the way of doing that questions. Indeed, the 2022 World Champion would not have requested authorization to go to Saudi Arabia from his direction, according to several sources at PSG relayed by The Team.
A movement that questions
While all the PSG players were expected this morning at the Saint-Germain-en-Laye training center, only one absentee was therefore to be counted and not the least. Lionel Messi was actually going to Riyadh at the same time for his contractual trip while Christophe Galtier was giving a speech to his teammates. However, the two days of rest initially planned before the meeting, in the event of victory against Les Merlus by the coach of the capital club and his staff, had been canceled following the poor performance of the Parisians. All the players therefore had to go to training, especially since management had obviously not been made aware of the Argentinian’s move. The Parisian management would not have appreciated having been presented with a fait accompli after a particularly complicated weekend.
It must be said that the future of Lionel Messi is still far from settled even if the Argentinian could finally extend to Paris. If we add to this the movement of the Pulga at a time that was supposed to be unifying to revitalize a losing team, we can better imagine the dismay of the leaders of PSG when the news was announced, which was quite disconcerting for an employer. whatever. Especially since this simple promotional trip could weaken the Parisian institution a little more, which really did not need that to manage. Already in difficulty at the moment, the Red and Blue staff will therefore have to settle this matter as quickly as possible to concentrate on the field knowing that the title is still far from being won in Ligue 1.
