Disappointment for Paris Saint-Germain fans, defender Sergio Ramos did not make the cut in the French squad. In an interview with the newspaper The Teamthe club’s director of football, Leonardo, spoke about what he expected from the player and revealed he still hadn’t seen what he wanted.
“He was physically fine when we hired him. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen as we thought. It’s difficult for him, for everyone. The day we say he can’t play anymore, it will be clear to everyone. But it’s not the case. Let’s wait before jumping to conclusions, the season is not over,” he said.
“I’m not afraid of making mistakes. Nasser (president of Paris Saint-Germain) gives me complete confidence and autonomy. Working in that spirit makes me want to work. This is important. That’s also why I say PSG is a great club.”
A week before the return game against Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Leonardo also commented on Pochettino’s continuity in command of the French team.
“He has one more year on his contract (until June 2023). Honestly, we never thought about changing coaches. We never got in touch with Zidane. Although a lot has happened, I always see him more involved. I think he may have had moments of doubt, but he never asked out. We are very clear, we talk about everything,” he revealed.
Before Paris face the Merengues on March 9, at 17:00 (Brasília time), the team has a commitment to the French Championship. This Saturday, they face Nice, away from home, at the same time.
