Former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder Blaise Matuidi has said that the French club should find players 'who really represent the club' for a successful squad rebuild. Matuidi suggests that the presence of superstars like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe should be accompanied by players who truly represent the club.
The French international wants PSG to bring in players who connect with the fans, giving the example of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Matuidi said that the two Spanish giants had four to five strong Spanish players in their squad during their peak seasons. He believes PSG will have to work on their base to establish themselves among big European clubs.
Speaking to Le Parisien, Matuidi shared what should Paris Saint-Germain do to rebuild their squad and find a connection with the fans as well. He said:
“There could, perhaps, be more players who really represent the club. When we revisit the best years of Real or Barça, we find 5 or 6 Spanish players. This base seems important to me to allow PSG to settle among the very, very big. Leaders are smart enough to know what to do.”
“Today, we must still rejoice in what has become of PSG. Having arrived at the beginning of the Qatari era (2011), I can better measure the progress made. It would have been difficult to imagine, a few years ago, to imagine Mbappé, Messi and Neymar united in the Parisian jersey.”
The French club have failed to achieve their European dream of winning the Champions League despite having Lionel Messi in their team this season. Fan disconnect with the club has become more and more overt as they booed Messi and Neymar for unimpactful performances in recent games.

BS don’t mean poo 💩.. No Manager without the dedication and vision for the club is fraught with danger for the clubs future! Look a Real Madrid, Zidane Built the new team around not just by the technical ability but a regiment! Nothing was spared Real Madrid came to every game under Zidane like an Army. You felt the full wrath under Zidane. PSG need Zidane for any chance of lifting the Champions League trophy! Fin

Wijnaldum followed money and his career is going down wards.
did i hear you say Bale??? an cool down cuz Bale's career is way bigger than your club. Bale isn't actually a flop.... Hazard and Kaka .... yes but certainly not Bale. besides it's injuries that prevented these two from doing great in Madrid . besides Kaka's first season in Madrid was a hit then came the injuries. Wijnaldum is different. he can't just break into that team. tell who was after Hazard in 2019 so desperately besides Madrid??? for Wijnaldum, we all know what he did to Barca. if you think Robinho was a flop in Madrid then you have to check again, he was the one who decided to leave even tho Madrid wanted to add his contract and his pay. bro just be candid for once and admit it.
