This Tuesday, August 19, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding the successful debut of Ilya Zabarnyi (22-year-old defender) with PSG following his arrival from Bournemouth, the changes considered by coach Luis Enrique, and the good first weekend for the broadcaster Ligue1+.
Zabarnyi was indeed very convincing in his first match for PSG, even if it’s not really a surprise. We saw the expected qualities; Paris didn’t target him by chance. We expect to see him confirm this over time.
This is within a PSG team that can evolve, even if the sports newspaper exaggerates a bit regarding Luis Enrique’s plans. He has never had a fixed team; that’s actually one of the main characteristics of his style, with a lot of movement and position changes. But some aspects can change.
As for Ligue 1+, it’s indeed a great start with a formula that appeals, driven by a passion for football and our Ligue 1. Rather than disparaging it, as some media do. And we get interesting behind-the-scenes content. It’s very positive for the future.
