French Press Criticizes PSG Players After Monaco Defeat
PSG Players Receive Harsh Reviews Following Loss to Monaco
The French media delivered tough evaluations of PSG players after another underwhelming Ligue 1 performance. The Parisians fell 2-1 to Monaco on Friday, continuing their disappointing start to the season.
Despite a strategy designed for peak performance in May rather than September, this recent defeat has raised eyebrows, as the team failed to secure a win early on once again.
Low Ratings from L’Equipe Reflect Disappointment
L’Equipe’s player ratings paint a clear picture of dissatisfaction with the squad's effort and cohesion.
- Safonov: 3
- Pacho: 4
- Vitinha: 4
- Joao Neves: 4
- Achraf Hakimi: 5
- Marquinhos: 5
- Warren Zaire-Emery: 5
- Fabiran Ruiz: 5
- Desire Doue: 5
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: 6
- Magnes Akliouche: 6
Only Kvaratskhelia and Akliouche earned marks above 5. Most of the starting lineup, except for Akliouche, were part of last season’s squad, so greater familiarity was expected.
There is room for improvement, yet the lack of wins hasn't sparked panic. The main challenge appears to be overcoming complacency, which has shown itself early in the campaign.
Goalkeeper Concerns and Transfer Rumors
Goalkeeper Matvey Safonov has struggled, conceding 6 goals from 9 shots on target, raising questions about his form. Meanwhile, off-field matters are also stirring talk, with Chelsea reportedly considering a bold move for a key PSG player.
