Al Khelaifi spoke this summer of putting order and giving another nuance to the PSG project, and entrusted this change to Luis Campos. The experienced sports advisor did not hesitate when he received the call from the club. In an interview with RMC Sport, the Portuguese reviewed the work done in recent months, from the signing of Christophe Galtier to the team’s commitment to having a good season.
The bank: “Zidane? From the moment Al Khelaifi proposed the position to me, I told him that Christophe Galtier was the best choice. I always thought about him. I don’t know what the club did then, or what the negotiations there from Qatar. But for me it is clear. We have understood each other working together, I know his ability and the connection between the coach and the sports director is important”.
Messi: “I am very happy here. Last season was difficult for him. After being an icon at Barcelona for 20 years, he had to make a big change in life, in a different place and in a different league than Espanyol. I need time. Now we have seen a Leo that will gradually reach the level we are used to. Renew? We need to win a lot, but I hope he stays”.
Neymar: “It hasn’t been bought yet. This is not true. We have him, like Messi and Mbappé. Last season was difficult for him, with injuries. But now it’s okay. He comes to training on time, he is a responsible kid. I see him involved in the project. The whistles from the fans in the stands a few months ago? I believe time heals all wounds.”
The closing of the market: “I am not satisfied. We are still a little out of balance. We have great quality in the locker room, but this model with three central defenders forced us to have another alternative. Screener? I won’t talk about names in particular, but if the puzzle is missing a piece, it is incomplete.
Mbappé’s renewal: “I have no merit that he stayed. Al Khelaifi did a lot in that regard. I really appreciate Kylian. I have known him since I was 14 years old, but I came regardless of his future. I signed for three years and I am convinced that we will do a good job”.
Versatile Midfielder: “When we started designing the squad with Christophe Galtier, we decided that we needed versatile players capable of going long distances. Box to box, as they say in England. We wanted to unite the defense and -attack, and we are looking for players with that profile. Fabián Ruiz and Carlos Soler fit the bill, but they arrived late and didn’t have much time to adapt to the idea. They need time.”
