Paris SG coach Mauricio Pochettino stressed that his defender Achraf Hakimi had "
remained focused
" despite the whistles that the Israeli public addressed to him during the Champions Trophy lost to Lille (1-0), Sunday in Tel Aviv. . Hakimi, who arrived in Paris at the start of July from Inter Milan, was booed with each ball catch throughout the match by the 29,000 spectators present at Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv on Sunday. Despite the whistles, the Moroccan international, who took a stand for Palestine last spring, at the heart of a new Israeli-Palestinian crisis, was the best Parisian, making many breakthroughs and outbursts on the right flank. "
Yeah, we talked about that (the whistles), that he had to stay focused on the game and that's what he did.
He remained focused, his performance was good,
”explained the Argentine technician at a press conference, without addressing the reasons for these whistles by the Israeli public.
“
It was his first official game, he still has a lot to prove.
He and the team still need to improve.
But I think he was very good, both in his behavior and in his performance,
”he added.
