The level of play displayed by Marquinhos worries several sports consultants. Among these, Olivier Rouyer.
For several seasons, it is clear that Marquinhos’ level has dropped significantly. The Brazilian central defender is no longer one of the best players in the world in his position.
“He’s been in trouble for two and a half years. Look, at Newcastle, when he makes his full axis recovery…”, recalls Olivier Rouyer on The Channel L’Equipe, referring to a completely missed recovery from Marquinhos against Spurs in the group stage of the Champions League. This resulted in a goal from Miguel Almiron in the 17th minute of play.
Worry
“And then he is absent in the game. Since he was extraordinary against Bayern Munich (in 2021), he has sunk. He worries me. I would have liked PSG to take an additional central defender this winter”continues the sports consultant, knowing that Lucas Beraldo probably does not have the level to take Marquinhos’ place.
This Friday evening, the former AS Roma player should be started by Luis Enrique for Paris Saint-Germain’s trip to Strasbourg, on the 20th day of Ligue 1. During the Rouge et Bleu’s previous match , against Stade Brestois, the Auriverde international remained on the sidelines.
