It is unlikely that Zidane will agree to lead a team (even if we do not take into account the fact that he has Marseille roots and is "historically" an enemy of PSG) where he will not have full power. As long as the team has such anchors as Neymar and Messi, a normal coach will not go there (only for space money or for other unsportsmanlike reasons). In general, PSG is largely a political project, and given that politics is dirt, not everyone agrees to get dirty.
Last season PSG after being eliminated from the Champions League in Ligue 1 really improved their performance - I remember they had a lot of big wins, it seems that this season they don't have the moral strength to force themselves to finish the season normally.
Well said. I don't think someone like Messi is a problem for Zidane. He also coached Ronaldo who is very similar. Space money might be one point, but I think you got it right when you said "not everyone agrees to get dirty". That hits the nail on the head in my opinion. Some people said he might go to Juventus Turin, but no way. Not as long as there is trouble going on and they don't have a team that can win the Champions League. There aren't many places for him to go when you won the Champions League with Real Madrid three years in a row. Deschamps extended his contract until 2026, Chelsea is in trouble and won't play Champions League next season, PSG is too political and the league is not worth his time in my opinion. There isn't much he can go to. Do you think he would go to Real Madrid for a third time?
I don't think that Ronaldo in his prime could be a problem for any club even with his ambitions and ego. Messi is now a completely different case - how can you make him run around the field and put pressure if even in his best years he practically did not do this? But no one will let the head coach put Messi on the bench or kick him out of the team (if the contract is extended with him, which is already very doubtful). This is politics and PR.
Don't know about Real Madrid - looks like Ancelotti can stay another year and like Deschamps won't make room for Zizou
It would be funny if the team whose players occupy all the top 10 places in the ranking of the highest paid players in the league did not become a champion. But unfortunately it's hard to believe, first of all, because there is no clear leader among the competitors and in the end they all interfere with each other in favor of PSG.
Messi should always be blamed, he had two seasons to show at least 20% of what PR says about him, and if the first season could be explained "he left Barcelona for the first time," now no excuses work.
Not as funny as Al-Nassr owning the number one highest-paid player in the world? Haha but no, you're right, but it does make me think of some American sports, where I believe it's actually pretty common to have best-paid players not be in title-winning teams (don't shoot me if I'm wrong).
And yes, PSG should be lucky their rivals are taking points off each other...
I think it's not so funny, since at PSG most of the players received their salaries mainly in exchange for a future result, but there is no result
Ronaldo's salary seems to me to be mainly a payment for his brand. Still, the top 1 in terms of the number of followers on Instagram and the most recognizable athlete in the world can receive hundreds of millions even if he just stands on the field. Everyone is happy with everything - this is an honest business.
