The arrival of Lionel messi to the PSG It has revolutionized the world of football. Everyone in Paris was on the street celebrating one of the best signings in the history of world football. And, at the same time, closing what was one of the best markets in the history of an elite team in European football: Georginio Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi and Sergio Ramos.
But, beyond the fact that they are elite footballers, PSG needs to build a team that works and is capable of empowering its main figures. A context that can bring out the best in everyone. Right now they are just one of the best squads in recent football history.
Mauricio Pochettino
At Fichajes.net we have made a list of Pochettino’s three main tactical challenges for next season, where he will have the most talented squad of his entire career.
The three challenges of Mauricio Pochettino with the arrival of Messi
-Solid structure: The most important point. Despite having a lot of talent on offense, PSG need to create a structure that can contain its stars. They cannot depend on their attackers every game, so Pochettino needs to make a plan without the ball that can facilitate having more time on the ball and that does not demand much from the most talented, which would take them away from the rival goal.
-To join Messi and Neymar without colliding: They are both different footballers. Neymar has been the owner of the team since he arrived in France, but now Messi arrives who demands practically the same. Pochettino’s goal is to find a way in which both share the limelight and that they can combine to build a first-rate offense.
Messi and Neymar together can be the best couple in history, but for this they need to be close and not step on the field.
-The context: And, beyond what was mentioned before, Messi and Neymar need a context that makes it easier for them to get together on the pitch and do damage. Footballers who bring the ball closer to the rival field, others who are unmarked to generate space for them to maneuver on the field. External that fix on the outside and that are like knives before the rival defense. They need the context so that their combination is enough to lift the Orejona.
