Mercato – Manchester United asked, can Mauricio Pochettino (PSG) really leave the ship at sea?

After a silence that fueled suspicion, Pochettino politely dismissed rumors that he would be sent to Spurs this summer: “I do not deny all rumors, He defended himself weeks later on the antennas of France Blue Paris. I have an agreement with PSG and if other clubs are interested they should contact PSG.“The relationship between the former captain and Park des Princess’ favorite Pochettino and PSG is not as close as expected.

Blur, blur and more blur

The press conference was not very extensive, he never assured about his short, medium or long term future and the leak of information across the channel was so big that it was hard not to see it as a company in his camp. Like all current coaches, Pochettino does not articulate his intentions. On the other hand, a lengthy interview given to our colleagues from L’Equipe last Friday further strengthened doubts about his future. In the interview, Pochettino did not stop looking for excuses specifically referring to PSG’s specific environment to justify his team’s average collective performance.

Selected pieces: “The project did not come looking for us to build“,”We have to deal with emotions, not just our own emotions but also the emotions of the players, staff, club people, fans. Without covering up financial benefits. “One way to clear customs is by focusing on the Parisian structure. So the link is weakened? Does Pochettino, the coach with a consistent reputation at Tottenham already have enough? Frustrated? Probably. But the problem may not arise in these terms. If PSG had tasted a little of his coach’s media output, It’s hard to imagine him surrendering to his desire to join Manchester today.

There is no way to lose face

If there’s one thing Qataris can’t tolerate, it’s losing face. And the whole world’s money is not enough to steal their coach during the Manchester United season. Paris has already demonstrated its stubbornness on many burning issues and the desires of Neymar and Mbabane quickly collided in Doha. If the shares are low in relation to Pochettino, he will remain the guarantor of the project, no matter what he says.

In fact, the arrival of Zinedine Zidane enriches the camouflage in Paris in the event of an early exit from Pochettino. But there are so many hypotheses in this set of musical chairs that, for now, care must be taken to give them more interest than they deserve. This sequence still tells us, that Pochettino, like Thomas Tuchel before him, may not have had as much freedom as he wished in the capital. There is no doubt that it will have to settle down at least until summer.
