With too large a workforce of 33 players, Mauricio Pochettino is unable to give everyone playing time, especially the young people he wanted to include in the professional group. One thing that the technician regrets.
Last summer, PSG was greatly strengthened by securing the services of Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos , Georginio Wijnaldum , Gianluigi Donnarumma , Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes for next to nothing. The capital club recorded 6 new arrivals. However, the Parisian side have only parted with very few players who regularly had a place in the squad of Mauricio Pochettino . Now, the Argentine technician has 33 players on his team. It is therefore quite complicated for him to give everyone playing time, especially young people trained in Paris, something he regrets.
Pochettino regrets the lack of downsizing of his workforce
As Goal explains, Mauricio Pochettino would fairly regularly criticize PSG and Leonardo for not having downsized enough in order to make room for promising young people like El Chadaille Bitshiabu , Ismaël Gharbi , Xavi Simons or even Edouard Michut . It is not the will to include these players in the professional group that is lacking on the side of the Argentinian technician since they were very involved in the preparation he concocted during the pre-season. At the start, these four elements were to be constantly present with the A team. However, due to lack of space in the workforce, Xavi Simons and Edouard Michut are quickly came down with the U19s of PSG . As for El Chadaille Bitshiabu and Ismaël Gharbi , they do not have any playing time for the moment, the two players having not yet made their debut in Ligue 1 .
