During the victory of Paris Saint-Germain against Bruges (4-1) this Tuesday in the Champions League, Parisian midfielder Marco Verratti (29 years old, 3 games in LdC this season) evolved as a sentinel to accompany Idrissa Gueye and Georginio Wijnaldum. At a press conference, PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino judged the impact of the Italian in this role.
“He is a player who can find himself in this position. I think this is maybe his best position. You have to remember that he started the season later, suffered several injuries preventing him from have a certain continuity in the game in this position. But Marco is a player who masters this position very well. He knows how to break the opposing pressure, get the ball out and put the team down, give them a necessary break.

He masters this register very well and let’s hope that he will finally be able to find this continuity that we all hope for, “said the Argentinian technician. .
