Grace Geyoro, Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old midfielder, is with the Equipe de France for the current international break and spoke to the media about her complicated situation at club level. After criticizing her loss of captaincy, which was not explained by coach Fabrice Abriel, who arrived this summer, she was not called up for the last league match (a 6-1 win over Dijon). She didn’t mince her words.
Geyoro “I can do nothing about wickedness or injustice.”
“I can’t control what people say or what happens. I can’t do anything about meanness or injustice. I just want to be me.
Geyoro “This confidence, it’s a pleasure.”
The break feels good?
I’ve been looking forward to it. It’s a real breath of fresh air. Here, I can train properly, express myself, play matches and enjoy myself. Laurent Bonadei relies on me a lot, so I give him my all! It’s great to have this confidence.”
If there was any hope of reconciliation, it may have just vanished. Dialogue can go a long way, but we’ll have to start from a very long way back. There’s a rift between Geyoro and Abriel.
The player isn’t even trying to be vague or suspenseful, she’s openly tackling her coach. A Parisian executive is giving up on the coach’s project, in a season that was already not easy. Watch out for the repercussions.
We’ll have to wait and see how Abriel and PSG react to such comments, which cannot go unchallenged. The next few weeks could be explosive.
