I understand PSG's mentality. The aim is big names, huge wins. However, relying on a few superstars is risky. Huge risk. Spends a fortune, and no trophies? Disaster. Absolute disaster. Mbappe, a terrific player, shows that Champions League pressure can break anyone.
Believe me, this play is smarter: Create your own talent. Slow, but builds a stronger foundation. You avoid outrageous transfer fees and inflated salaries and get players who compete for the shirt, not just the salary. Mixing one or two major stars with local talent? The mixture is potent. PSG needs competitiveness and sustainability to win. Much smarter than their current plan.
That should be the case and they should be able to learn from Manchester City to build a team not in an instant way by recruiting lots of star players, PSG failed last season when they implemented this.
And I also see that they have not developed or have not been able to achieve achievements on the European stage because PSG does not have fierce domestic competition so this team cannot compare in strength to be able to rise even better.
As we have seen in the last few seasons in League 1, no competitor has put pressure on PSG in the title race.
Man, great points all around. You're right - leading France may be holding PSG back. Like elite warriors, you know? They need intense sparring to stay ahead. Without playing against world-class clubs week in and week out, PSG struggles to prepare for the Champions League
That star-based approach is spot-on. Although they have world-class players, they sometimes seem to be doing their own thing. The best teams in Europe play together like a well-oiled machine. Every player knows their role and system fit. Sometimes PSG lacks cohesiveness and purpose. Similar to "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". They could reach a new level if they can play as a team, not simply superstars
