In an interview with A Bola, Luis Campos, sporting advisor to Paris Saint-Germain, delivered a clear and confident vision of the Parisian project. Between sporting stability, complete confidence in the coach, and constant attention to young talent worldwide, the Portuguese executive confirmed that PSG is moving forward without giving in to panic. A clear, coherent, and resolutely future-oriented approach.
Campos: “I have many, some I’d like to have already, but I can’t say (laughs).”
“PSG’s objective isn’t to change much; the idea is working, it’s a young team. We have an exceptional coach who develops this talent and gets the team working. An extraordinary president.
Players from the Under-17 World Cup on my list? I have many, some I’d like to have already, but I can’t say (laughs).” “I was delighted. I already knew them; our system had already identified them, but I had the opportunity to see them live.”
Luis Campos’s approach contrasts sharply with the Parisian habits of the not-so-distant past. Here, there are no announced revolutions, no constant major overhauls. The message is clear: the project is working, so it is respected. PSG is now a young, structured team, led by a coach he describes as exceptional and a fully committed president. Behind this apparent stability, however, Campos hints at another essential facet of his work: anticipation.
The U17 World Cup is not an impromptu discovery ground, but a confirmation. Talents are already identified, monitored, and analyzed by a recruitment system that works well in advance. Seeing these players “in real life” refines the process, it doesn’t trigger anything. The Campos-era PSG no longer reacts: it anticipates. And in modern football, that’s often where the difference is made.
