While he had made the decision not to extend Thiago Silva, Leonardo somewhat admitted his failure by recruiting Sergio Ramos this summer. The same Sergio Ramos who is currently in the tough physically when the Brazilian is still in good shape.

In a logic of launching a new cycle by betting on the duo composed of Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe , the Paris Saint-Germain had made the choice not to extend the contract of Thiago Silva a little over a year ago. As a result, the Brazilian defender left freely after the Final 8 of the Champions League and joined the ranks of Chelsea . But a year later, although its two starting center-backs weren't bad at all in 2020/2021, the capital club visibly admitted their mistake by constantly bearing the brunt of the absence of a third man to their sides. This is why PSG chose to jump on the market opportunity represented by Sergio Ramos at the beginning of the summer, he who left freely from Real Madrid to term of his contract. Problem, at the time of the first assessment, the failure of the residents of the Parc des Princes in their initial choice is all the more resounding.

While Thiago Silva is having fun at Chelsea, Sergio Ramos is chomping at PSG

Indeed, Thiago Silva shows, in almost every game he plays with Chelsea , that he is always able to play at the highest level. The Brazilian performs wonderfully in the Premier League from the top of his 37 years in a championship yet renowned as being very demanding athletically. In addition, joined by a Thomas Tuchel sacked on Christmas Eve by PSG , the one nicknamed O Monstro won the first Champions League of his career last May with the Blues against Manchester City , the second in the London team. Meanwhile, the Parisian club now coached by Mauricio Pochettino lost the championship, was taken out in the semifinals of Champions League by the Citizens, before finally recruiting Sergio Ramos to fill the void created by the departure of Thiago Silva .

Only here, while Thiago Silva frolic on the English lawns like a rabbit, Sergio Ramos has been subscribed to the infirmary since arriving in the French capital. It’s quite simple: as it is almost November, the Spain international, hampered by calf issues, has still not played a single minute of play with PSG . Worse, he still works individually, and no specific comeback date has been given by the Paris club, if only for his return to collective training. The latest reports in the press are also very worrying, the TEAM affirming for example this Sunday that the optimism displayed in July by the PSG as for the chances of the native of Camas to find his best level would have gradually evaporated. As for his physical form, it would not be at all optimal contrary to what had been proclaimed on his arrival, the journalist Abdellah Boulma revealing on his Twitter account that the PSG doctors had doubts on Sergio Ramos' ability to return to the highest level from his first exams with the Parisian club.

Used to playing under infiltration several times in his career and having precipitated his return to competition last spring – which led him to relapse from his knee injury, the body of the 35-year-old looks worn. And finally, a year later, the choice of PSG and Leonardo to be separated from Thiago Silva appears more than ever as a terrible error in judgment, both in her idea and in the work that was carried out in the context of her succession.
