It was all victories and dominating performances during the pre-season – however, it was all against inferior opponents. And although the new coach Christophe Galtier openly says that Paris Saint-Germain are not even close to their maximum, because they still lack competitive rhythm, there are some changes implemented already. Primarily those concerning behavior.President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said at the end of last season that the era of “glitters and spotlights” in Paris was over, and then he did the same in the dressing room when he told the players that new advisor Luis Campos has the full support of the club’s management. He basically told them: don’t try looking for shortcuts to Sheikh Mansour to solve your ‘problems’ that way.🚨 Luis Campos has taken drastic measures to ensure the culture inside PSG’s dressing room improves.He has sent scouts into Paris nightclubs to monitor whether the players are there or not.(Source: @Lequipe) pic.twitter.com/HIrbNXGjxL— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) August 4, 2022 Campos immediately went to work, so the players were ordered to have breakfast every morning in the club’s training center. Whoever is late will be sent home, which means that he will be eliminated from the roster for the next matches. The same goes for lunch. Night outings will also be prohibited, and it is even written that Campos is determined to introduce patrols in prominent Parisian bars.Whoever does not want to obey the new rules – they will not play. The same was said to players who are not counted on: feel free to stay, but you will be in the stands.”No player is above the team,” said Galtier.Of course, all this does not mean that the management wants a war with the locker room. On the contrary, allegedly the players also reacted well, because they too are aware that the atmosphere was a bit loose. And none of them want a repeat of Barcelona in 2017, Manchester United in 2019 or Real Madrid in 2022. Those were painful disappointments, and PSG want – the European title.##NAJAVA_MECA_6541704##As for the team itself, Campos is still looking for a striker – the first pick Robert Lewandowski left for Barcelona – and a stopper, he is still hoping they will get Inter’s Milan Skriniar.In order for that to happen, he must first find buyers for the surplus. Giorginio Wijnaldum is on the verge of going to Roma on loan with a mandatory buyout for 8 million euros (PSG will pay 40 percent of his salary), there are talks with Everton about the sale of Idrissa Gana Gueye, with Juventus regarding Leandro Paredes, but without concrete results. Mauro Icardi, Layvin Kurzawa, Julian Draxler, Rafinha, Ander Herrera, Thilo Kehrer are also close to the exit doors… Of course, all are well paid, so no one is in a hurry to leave.
