Drama at PSG: KVaratskhelia Fracasse desired Goué after the debacle against Botafogo – the locker room by the explosion
Paris Saint-Germain is going through an unprecedented internal crisis after its humiliating defeat against Botafogo in the intercontinental cut. But it’s not just the score that is controversial. Indeed, an incendiary declaration of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a Georgian star recently arrived at PSG, threw oil on fire and divided the locker room into two opposite clans.
A defeat that hurts … and that reveals tensions
The meeting against the Brazilian club ended in a heavy setback for Parisians, unable to react to a well -organized and determined team. But it was after the match that things really degenerated. Questioned by journalists in the mixed area, Kvaratskhelia did not mince his words when he was questioned about the collective performance of the team.
« We cannot win when some people think of their personal glory instead of the collective. Désiré Doué is a talented player, but today he has been selfish. And in a club like PSG, it doesn’t happen. »
A direct accusation against a young talent
At just 19 years old, Désiré Doué was considered one of the jewels of Parisian training. Author of several technical lightnings during the match, he often preferred individual actions to the decisive pass, to the chagrin of his teammates. Kvaratskhelia’s words only confirmed what some people already whispered in the corridors of the club.
A vestiary fractured in two clans
According to several sources close to the club, these statements immediately created deep discomfort in the locker room. Part of the experienced players would support the speech of the former Neapolitan, believing that Doué still has a lot to learn in terms of team game. On the other hand, another group, younger and younger to French, would see in this attack an unjust scapegoating attempt.
The staff tries to calm the game
Faced with this explosive situation, coach Luis Enrique and his staff would have summoned an emergency meeting to restore the group’s cohesion. Officially, the club does not wish to comment on the internal tensions, but behind the scenes, discussions would be underway to defuse the conflict and prevent it from taking an irreversible turn.
KVARATSKHELIA ASSUME
Asked again this morning by a Georgian media, Kvaratskhelia did not decide:
« I’m not here to please everyone. I want PSG to win, and for that, you have to play together, not everyone for yourself. »
A statement which, if it divides, also shows the level of requirement that the player wishes to establish within the club.
And now ?
PSG really didn’t need such a scandal at that time of season. While European objectives are still topical, this fracture in the locker room may well cost the club dearly. Everything will now depend on the way management and staff will manage this crisis. One thing is certain: PSG will have to reject quickly if he does not want to see his ambitions fly away.
