Dutch legend Ruud Gullit spoke about Paris Saint-Germain at the Laureus World Sports Awards. He was full of admiration for the way Luis Enrique’s men are playing.
Gullit “My God. They have very good players and they’re fantastic to watch“
”If you look at Paris Saint-Germain… My God. They have very good players and they’re fantastic to watch. They’re exceptional. It’s very difficult for midfield players these days, there are so many people in midfield. The space is on the flanks and that’s where the best players play.
Gullit “He wasn’t even good enough to play for Wolves and now he’s the best player at Paris Saint-Germain!”
Doué, I like him a lot. Barcola too of course, Vitinha… He used to play for Wolves! He wasn’t even good enough to play for Wolves, and now he’s the best player at Paris Saint-Germain!
Sometimes you look at things and think: ‘This is so fantastic to watch!’ I love seeing these players. Dembélé! He’s found a new position, he was always on the right side, now he plays in the middle so he scores a lot of goals.
Gullit “It’s also a team everyone’s looking forward to seeing”
It’s also a team everyone’s looking forward to seeing. It’s great! It’s always good to see good players asserting themselves. We’ve had the Messi-Ronaldo era, which is almost over, and now it’s time for new players!”
These are strong words, and they show that PSG have indeed turned a corner. Praised by all and sundry, there are clearly some outstanding points in the Parisian project. There are qualities everywhere on the pitch, but what really stands out is the serenity of the players, match after match, with their desire to do well and never give up.
A legend like Gullit carries a lot of weight in soccer, and these words are sure to please both the players and Luis Enrique. Now there’s a French Cup final and a Champions League semi-final to wrap up a season that’s gone so well. It won’t be easy, but PSG have always been there.
