2021-01-22T23:28:28.817Z


The Argentinian, who started in midfield again this Friday, appreciated the quality of his passes during the clear victory.


The Fantastic Four had a blast scoring the goals but he definitely scored points.

Established at the expense of Idrissa Gueye, Leandro Paredes regaled against Montpellier.

Vertical passes, outside of the foot, everything went there ... It was on one of its openings that Jonas Omlin, the Swiss goalkeeper of Montpellier, hit Kylian Mbappé and was sent off (18th).

The 26-year-old Argentinian, associated with the midfielder Marco Verratti, behind the offensive quartet Di Maria-Neymar-Mbappé-Icardi, orchestrated the game always seeking to play forward and distributed the caviars.

PSG-Montpellier (4-0): the ratings of Parisian players


A big performance for Leandro Paredes who showed his compatriot Mauricio Pochettino that he could be an increasingly credible option in his 4-2-3-1 where he competes with Gueye, Herrera and Danilo.

He brings a technical touch and his agreement with Verratti, who finished the match with the armband, works well.

In the second period, PSG gave the appearance of a festival to its success, and Paredes, who often lit the game, was able to come out, replaced by Danilo (75th).

With this kind of XXL performance, he pushed back the competition, at least for a time, as the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League looms in Barcelona.

But the concern with the Argentine is that, since his arrival at PSG in January 2019, he has never managed to continue over time.

He has often paid for his difficulties in channeling his energy.

A virile and sometimes excessive temperament which has often been the subject of debate.

Paredes divides: some consider it unbearable, others essential to the Parisian collective, with its volume of play and the quality of its passes.

But bought 47 million euros at the Zenith Saint Petersburg, he never managed to dispel the doubts that have always escorted him.

At each transfer window, it is also regularly announced among the possible transferable.

But his contract ends in June 2023 and he seems determined to honor it.

The arrival of Mauricio Pochettino at the head of the team was not, either, to displease him.

“Having a coach of the same nationality helps, recognizes the midfielder.

We share the same ideas.

We get along well, we must take advantage of it.

"

Paredes also highlighted the changes in the state of mind compared to the Thomas Tuchel era.

“Each coach has his ideas, brings his energy.

The mentality is different for us now, we have new options in the game. There is more intensity in training.

“Well in his head, confident in his game and appreciated by his coach, the new Paredes seems to have arrived at the start of the year.
