The party organized for the birthdays of Icardi, Di Maria and Cavani does not pass. Internally and externally. This Friday afternoon, it is the turn of Jérôme Rothen, former midfielder of PSG (2004-2010), to be indignant at the behavior of Parisian players, to whom he criticizes a “lack of professional conscience”, 48 hours after their defeat in the knockout stages of the Champions League in Dortmund (2-1).
" It's dramatic. I'm going to speak from my heart because this club is special to me, explains Rothen to RMC, where he works as a consultant. I feel touched when I see PSG give Dortmund such a picture, when I see the coach communicate backwards before and after the match. The players, I don't talk about it between Neymar, Meunier… But this one ( Editor's note: the anniversary ), I can't believe it. I tell myself they don't care about the face of the world. It has nothing to do with the date of the Bordeaux match on Sunday […] When they are good, there is no problem. The truth remains the green rectangle and the knockout stages of the Champions League, where PSG is the laughing stock of Europe every year. "

The former international, who wore the colors of PSG for six years (2004-2010), continues: "When you have a professional conscience, 48 hours from a high-level match, this is where you are most tired, where you need to recover. They prefer to party until noon. […] How can you have the head to party? Even to celebrate the birthday of Icardi, Di Maria and Cavani. With social networks, you know that everything is going to be publicized. […] Put yourself in the place of the people who love this club. […] The image of the club is still put forward. It is a lack of respect for the supporters, the people who work in this club. "
