Christophe Galtier flies to the aid of Renato Sanches. Present this Saturday in front of the journalists, before the meeting of the 14th day of Ligue 1 in Lorient on Sunday, the Paris Saint-Germain coach spoke about the first months spent by the Portuguese midfielder in the French capital. Established last Wednesday on the field of Juventus Turin (2-1, 6th day of the group stage of the Champions League), the 25-year-old player does not manage to impose himself permanently in the Parisian workforce, joins the was passed from LOSC for the sum of 15 million euros. In eleven appearances in all competitions, for one goal, the former resident of Bayern Munich has only started three games.
“I have no doubt”
The French coach, who, it should be remembered, had the 2016 European champion under his orders at the Mastiffs, justified the concerns of the native of Lisbon, largely linked to competition, in remarks relayed by The Parisian. “There are three parameters regarding Renato. There is the lack of preparation because he has been waiting for his transfer for a long time, which has generated some muscle problems. Then there is the integration into the group as well as the football integration into the team. This explains why we have not yet seen the great Renato that I knew in Lille. For Fabian Ruiz, it also took time to integrate. Charles too. I take the case of Hugo Ekitike who could not do the preparation, who is a young player and discovers the high level with high standards and incredible expectations. Renato is in this process and I have no doubt that he brings us what is expected of him. He works well.”
