In a podcast granted to journalist Smaïl Bouabdellah, the French champion 2013 and 2014 admitted that Marco Verratti had been the strongest player with whom he had evolved.

“The strongest player I played with?” Verratti impressed me a lot. On the ground he was carelessly and he was so strong. He never lost the ball. It was incredible, “ said the now consultant for the Dazn channel.

Lead returns to his signature at PSG

Jeremy Menez was one of the first players to join the new Parisian project led by QSI in 2011. Still in the Smaïl Bouabdellah podcast, the former Parisian returned to his signature in the French capital in the summer of 2011.

“I arrived at PSG, I am 24 years old and in addition I had to sign at Juventus, Antonio Conte called me, I was on vacation. I receive a call from Leonardo and who tells me about the QSI project and recruitments. You can imagine that it is my heart club, I lived 15 minutes from the Parc des Princes. I said I was going to think, but I didn't even need to think. My decision was already made. And waouh, “ he confessed.

Before continuing: “At that time, Paris for a few years has not been Greater Paris. They almost went down a little earlier. You can ask yourself questions, but as it is my club at heart I did not ask myself a question. My dream was going to start. »»
