Jean-Michel Larqué Former PSG Midfielder Laments Lack of Defensive Contribution From Attacking Trio
Jean-Michel Larqué Former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has lamented the lack of defensive contribution from the French heavyweights’ star-attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, and Kylian Mbappe.
They have secured their passage to the round-of-16 of the Champions League after finishing second in Group H, behind Portuguese side Benfica.
Speaking on Rothen Ignites, former Paris Saint-Germain player Jean-Michel Larqué, who is now a sports journalist, expressed concerns about the club’s defense.
“We often speak, tactically, of an unbalanced team with three attackers who do not defend. There is a defense that is still in great difficulty in my eyes because the effort of the Parisian leaders is constantly focused on the names in front. And behind, from time to time, we take a player who gives satisfaction.”
Jean-Michel Larqué added that teams win big competitions only when they have a solid defense and suggested PSG currently lacks one.
PSG enjoys a three-point lead at the top over second-placed Lens, who have 44 points from 19 matches in the Ligue 1 so far this season.
