Along with the goalkeeper position, the midfielder has always been one of the main areas of Paris Saint-Germain version QSI.
If the arrival of Keylor Navas in 2019 and that of Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer have finally settled the concerns about the doormen, Paris does not have the same success with its midfield. Since the retirement of Thiago Motta and the departure of Blaise Matuidi, Marco Verratti has struggled to find companions of high standing and reliable over time.
This year, Idrissa Gueye and Ander Herrera have made a good start to the season, relegating Leandro Paredes and Georginio Wijnaldum to the sidelines. Regarding the Dutchman, his case is starting to make people talk.
Wijnaldum was among the most sought after contract free players of the last summer transfer window to join Paris, when he was linked with FC Barcelona. At 30, the Dutch international (82 caps, 26 goals) was presented as a reinforcement with experience arriving from Liverpool.
But the former Liverpool and Netherlands captain is struggling. Used as a midfielder, on the right side as well as in support of the attackers by Mauricio Pochettino, Wijnaldum still did not make a very satisfactory results.
In the last five matches of PSG, in all competitions, the Dutchman has started four games on the sidelines. A demotion in the hierarchy that has not gone unnoticed by new orange coach Louis van Goal. This morning, the newspaper AD made its front page on the Dutch players happy with the selection, but unhappy at the club. Wijnaldum is listed there with Blaugrana Frenkie De Jong and Memphis Depay.
“Of course I'm worried. I already told Wijnaldum about it when I arrived (at the rally). But it's not, I'm not ringing the alarm bell yet. I have a lot of confidence in certain players. Wijnaldum is one of them. Wijnaldum is a player who got injured and still took part in the World Cup in Brazil. You may remember it. He played almost everything back then. I started with Jonathan de Guzman, then Wijnaldum came along quite quickly."
But that was seven years ago. Will Wijnaldum be able to bounce back? As a reminder, the Parisian is suspended for the match against Latvia. On the other hand, he will be available to face Gibraltar.
