Although it is still far too early to speak of an internal PSG crisis, several incidents, whether sporting or not, have resulted in Leonardo having to take on the role of police officer. The disappointing first leg match in the Champions League (2-1 defeat at Dortmund), and the disclosure two days later by relatives of certain players of the birthday party video, this is enough to irritate the sporting director.
Indeed, the 50-year-old Brazilian entered the Paris locker room before a session on February 21, and wanted to talk to his players about this disastrous communication. If the club knew that the evening was taking place, Leonardo especially regrets that images (where we see several cheerful frames, naked torsos) came out. Especially two days after the poor performance in Germany. According to information from the Team , several of the locker room executives have spoken. Like Edison Cavani, who would have admitted that disclosing videos was a mistake, but that it was a simple party bringing together the entourage of certain players, that it should not be given too much importance. Keylor Navas would have spoken to him, to defend the group, explaining that the club should not be run by "the outside, or react according to social networks", according to the sports daily. The tone would have even risen to the point that "bird names" would have flared. After these events, the players have only one real way to be forgiven with the leaders of the club of the capital: to make a result during the return match at the Parc des Princes on March 11, and to qualify for the quarters of Champions League final.
