PSG: Rabesandratana’s confusing comments on fatigue

Eric Rabesandratana shared his analysis in Le Parisien after Paris Saint-Germain's lackluster performance against Paris FC. Between the lack of summer preparation and the refusal to mention fatigue, his discourse illustrates a sometimes paradoxical reading of Parisian difficulties this season.

Rabesandratana "They have less leeway because the competition is tougher"

"They have less leeway because the competition is tougher. It's positive, it forces them to be more serious in the league. We cannot ignore what happened this summer with the little preparation. But against Paris FC, it was not that at all. Paris must be better in efficiency, in absolute concentration to finish. They have lost that today. There is a problem of simplicity. At no point do I think they are tired."

Rabesandratana "When you have reached all your goals, you must get back to the level to maintain that demand"

It’s a question of mentality. When you have reached all your goals, you must get back to the level to maintain that demand that allowed you to win. I think it is only temporary, but you have to react, change something, otherwise you will expose yourself to other misadventures."

Eric Rabésandratana's remarks summarize a recurring issue around PSG: a double discourse that ends up blurring the diagnosis. On one hand, the former Parisian recalls a truncated summer, reduced preparation, benchmarks to rebuild. On the other, he dismisses any idea of fatigue, asserting that the problem is primarily mental. The two are not incompatible, yet the analysis becomes fragmented.

PSG would lack simplicity, efficiency, concentration... without really knowing what triggers this drop in demand. This ambiguity feeds a classic bias: Paris is judged not on the match, but on its status. When PSG wins, it's normal. When it doubts, it's necessarily a problem of mentality.

However, the demand post-titles, as Rabésandratana himself says, cannot be decreed. It must be rebuilt. And it is precisely here that the analysis should be more coherent, less instinctive, more structural.
