The PSG Revolution Has Finally Begun and It's SCARY Good!

When QSI purchased PSG in 2011, they began spending their way to domination in France. Their ultimate goal has been the champions League, and while they came close in 2020, they still haven’t won it. With Messi, Mbappé and Neymar all gone now, PSG’s are in a completely new era, with a new way of doing things. PSG are finally starting to utilize their academy, which was a rarity before. With Luis Campos as PSG’s advisor, they are signing younger players in an attempt to grow their own stars, rather than pay through the nose for older, established stars. And with Luis Enrique as the head coach, he is finally giving opportunities to these young, talented players that they have. This could get scary for Europe if they finally pull from their strengths!

​@@YusufEbr What kind of logic is that? xd

[@Caporal_Blutch]

As a French and PSG fan for more than 30 years, I agree with you. The "bling-bling" period was necessary to improve the PSG brand in the world. They have been building a reputation for 10 years, with the Qatar World Cup in 2022 as their target. They already knew in 2012 when they buy the club there would be a before and an after world cup. Nasser's interview takes place in the off-season that precedes a few months the world cup. After the World Cup, the change was radical. Exit Neymar, Messi, Verratti, Mbappe... in less than two years. The only player left today from the previous period is Marquinhos. And as a PSG fan, I can assure you that we are living again. We could no longer support the drama of stars. This guy makes a post on the social medias because he is not happy to play this position... this guy does an interview because he wants to shoot the penalties... this guy is not happy with the coach’s choices... We were talking about all the whims, but never about team and football. As Tuchel said when he left the club : "I do more politics than football". We couldn’t stand it anymore this pile of individualistic players. And now, even if the players are less known, we finally regain football, game, tactics, players who play collectively as a team, a coach who is not afraid of drama if he get a player out of the pitch in the 85th minute of a 5-0 win... I would say that qatarians now adopts for PSG a similar strategy to those made by Abu-Dabi with Man-City : less marketing, more sport. And whatever the result, that's cool ! I find again pleasure to watch this team play, whereas I had lost it during the Messi-Neymar-Mbappe era.

[@jbkoo5849]

I'm French and PSG fan too. I do agree about the most you say. However that strategy before has a downside as PSG has become the laughing stock in France and all Europe as everyone sees PSG failing in the UCL. I think the approach could be understood for the marketing aspect but was the wrong path to improve in Europe. The big mistake PSG has made so far is after the disastrous campaign of 2016 - 2017 with the famous remontada. They kind of panicked and made those recruitement of star players, jeopardizing the whole balance of the team. I think a big mistake they made is also to pay more than necessary for players and that cause trouble when they want to sell them.

[@PowShakeleke]

I am french and live in Paris and it is always heart breaking to read some bulsh****** comment like that! Too much PSG fans act like spoiled children who no longer know how to play with the toys they are given. We had the chance to have Messi, Mbappe, neymar and others great players for our city and lots of PSG fans spend more time complaining about it than enjoy it.... even with a team that has had the best results in PSG's history (almost all the domestic titles, 2 semi-finals of the C1 and a final and every year qualified for the knockout stages of the C1). Every big club has to deal with bullsh***** drama stars. In fact, that's why they're so popular. But that is not a reason for losing the pleasure or the dedication to the club! ManU spend more money than PSG in the last 10 years and look at their result. Much worse than Paris man! And MAnu is still way more popular that City in Manchester and the entire world! The main reason PSG fan lost thair faith it is not about the drama, not about the individualistic player ambition, not about the marketing, not about the politic a coach has to do (Tuchel is the worst example you can give.. this guy never coach a team more than 2 years, he actually coached way longer the PSG than his others clubs ).... it is because the spoiled children expectations were a little bit too hight (they were pretty close to win th C1 and fan like you do not even enjoy it).....

Better is subjective. The strategy before was clearly to build PSG as a bigger brand. Using big football stars like beckham and zlatan to Messi and Neymar and mbappe.

Ever since QSI bought PSG in 2011(coincidental that it happened at around the same time that Qatar launched their bid to host the 2022 World Cup) they were already on countdown mode as Qatar wanted to have a Champions League winning club under their belt, to boost their sporting reputation ahead of the World Cup. But for that, they chose an unnecessary path for that, and it failed spectacularly every single season. It is also coincidental that the time they chose to let go of their "bling-bling" approach was after the 2022 World Cup. Now that the board and Al Khaleifi are not under that baggage, they can start to focus and do their own thing, building their project on their academy, essentially following Barca's example which made them succeed during their golden period.

Since 2002, 216 players in the World cups were born in France, which is by far the biggest factory of talents in the world (Brazil comes second with... 148 players). From 2002 to 2018, 60 players in the WC were born in Paris area, London being second in Europe with 40. My point is PSG academy is already good, but could potentially be unmatched if it fully capitalized on this incredible mine of talents.

Fyi, Bling bling is a comon expression that is still used often in France to talk about shiny things that are empty in the inside. Wich was, how lots of PSG fans where feeling and talking about the club since the arrival of Neymar

[@asblakjack]

Corrections : Matuidi was no star. He was supposed to be a rotation player. PSG started to buy stars to fast the UCL but also reputation and marketing to build a stronger brand. Necessary evil to be fair.

The thing is your rarely win the CL with your most glamorous team. Marseille won with its toughest team but had fantastic teams the year prior. Madrid r9 galacticos lost in semi… Lyon had arguably the best euro team for several years and allways came short. The CL is a trompe l’œil they’re tons of factors in play.

[@RabonaTV]

Injuries, officiating errors, unlucky bounces, random mistakes, teams playing far above (or below) their average... so many factors!

Neymar was 222M€ alright but it wasn't a transfer, PSG gave him the money so he could pay himself his release clause according to Spanish lawa

Chelsea's problem is not signing young players. It's signing 50 of them, half of which they don't even need, and constantly being forced to sell or loan out a lot because of that, which hurts team stability. I agree they could use a couple more experienced players, but otherwise investing in youth is a great strategy. Chelsea's problems are different

@@maciejbala477 yeah no completely disagree. Chelsea has always had too many loan players and players to sell.

Most club are following the Real Madrid blueprint which is to sign young talented playerrs and only superstars on a free contract. Gone are the days club are willing to spend big on a single superstar.

Madrid isn't the only Club that did that lol

[@enasnIdnuosnU]

I didn't say Madrid were the only one signing free agents but I said most club are following in their blueprint which is to get players in their prime for "Free" by either trying to lowball club into selling them at a lower rate or face having to see their players leave. They did it Mpabbe and were successful in lowballing Rennes Eduardo Camavinga but failed with Lene Yoro. If you meant to say signing free players in their prime like Alaba and Rudiger. Sure there are clubs like Bayern who gotten Lewandowski, PSG with Donnarumma and Juventus with Pogba. But which club has actually utilized the lowballing tactic like Real Madrid?

[@critic_empower_joke_rlaxtslife]
