While the situations of Xavi Simons and Edouard Michut cause a lot of ink to flow, Mauricio Pochettino shows more than ever his desire to keep the two young nuggets at PSG and to offer them more playing time.
Since the beginning of the QSI era and the takeover of PSG in 2011, the capital club has had to face a recurring problem: the exodus of its young talents from the training center, often forced to seek playing time in other clubs since they find themselves barred by stars in the first team. At the moment, the Xavi Simons (18 years old, end of contract next June) and Edouard Michut (18 years old, 2025) are relatively worrying, since the two titis of PSG would consider a departure. But Mauricio Pochettino seems willing to redistribute the cards with his two talents…
“We will try to believe in them and to involve them”
Asked at microphone of France 3 Monday evening after the qualification of PSG against Vannes (4-0), match for which he had decided to start Michut and Xavi Simons , Pochettino spoke about their future: “I think we have an incredible academy. It is important that they can find themselves on the pitch with the first team and that they can participate in this adventure. There are really very good players. The academy is doing very well. It's important for the club to have these talents available. We will try to believe in them, and involve them as much as possible, “says the PSG coach.
