Laurent Blanc raised his arms skyward and puffed out. PSG had won their seventh straight league game. The title was secured.
The third straight and a long season was over.
Around Blanc celebrated team but Zlatan Ibrahimovic was no sign of Montpellier.
A farewell signs ?
Absolutely.
After two league titles would PSG take the next step in the evolution of a year ago. The owners in Qatar’s patience cards and thirst for success great. It was not good enough anymore with French trophies. When summer came, however, FIFA’s regulations will prevent financial doping blocked the initiative. PSG did indeed solicit the lynnige Brazilian David Luiz but then it was stop. The season began instead with the hope set to the same dude.
They reached halfway.
When the form has been constipated and PSG experienced their best moments, they have been hard put. I remember the victory over Barcelona at the end of September. There and then I was filled with the feeling that perhaps, after all, was the right season. Marco verratti had grown into the great director’s suit, Zlatan kept the same class as always and anywhere deceived the potentially great cooperation with Edinson Cavani.
But just as quickly PSG reached their peaks , just as quickly they were shot into the abyss. The worst was when the holidays drawing to a close and firm Cavani / Lavezzi chose to simply take a few extra days of relaxation in South America. The famous crack in the dressing room was confirmed, discontent factions was a fact, and Blanc’s time as coach were numbered.
Then, just as suddenly unexpectedly woke up capital of the team back to life. Barcelona were too good and with hindsight, it is difficult to criticize PSG’s European games. In the league began, however, once again line up victories and ensured that the challenger Lyon not surged at the top. But just in time for the spring arrived in Paris came the next setback. The film that caught Zlatan tantrums against the French judiciary is already a classic. We will probably be able to look soberly at the few years, but then and there was massive criticism against the Swede. And he was shut off from all league games in a month.
In the absence of Zlatan Cavani saw his chance to shine. He was given more responsibility and more space. What advance could be seen as a very heavy setback proved to have minimal if any impact. PSG won their matches and Cavani’s head, along with weapons screwdrivers and best mates Javier Pastore and Ezequiel Lavezzi. So even during yesterday’s match against Montpellier as PSG thus secured their third consecutive league title.
With another Title salvaged maybe one might think that order is restored in Paris again. Everyone is happy and satisfied, and that PSG’s sporting leadership sits quietly in the boat before the summer transfer window. No, no, quite the contrary. A year of more or less solicitation is a year too much for a club with PSG’s resources. Now comes the revolution. Title celebrations will of course be harvested and we will see and hear positive player and leader. When summer arrives then it will happen stuff.
The big nut to crack is without a doubt Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s future. He is a guarantee of the PSG. Minimum level can not be bought. But at the same time want the club to build for the future. They want new, fresh players, shake, and then one group. In order not to fall in FIFA Fair Play finance trap again required, however, to do away with economic ballast. And Zlatan is heavy. 150 million heavy.
When PSG players took the title celebrations from the pitch to the dressing room after the game did not appear to Zlatan.
He had stayed in Paris and slowly begins all small characters create a very clear vision of the future. All put their own future puzzle but in my starting Zlatan guise of PSG sweater become significantly blurred.
