Nuno Mendes: “J
In an interview with the show “Rothen s’enflame” on RMC, the Parisian defender Nuno Mendes confided in his desire to be regular with the PSG. Arrived in July 2022 from Sporting Portugal, the 22-year-old left side experienced physical worries that prevented it from playing regularly. However, this season seems different for Mendes, who wants to be present at all important games.
“I’m trying to make every game, I’m trying to play well, to be there at every game. The coach knows I can’t make all the games, because I was hurt not long ago. We have to deal with it. He’s a little coach, technical and medical staff, me too. We’re always trying to get the right answers so I can play every game I can. So important games, championship games, I like to be there, there,” admitted Nuno Mendes.
PSG: a collective force according to Nuno Mendes
Parisian defender Nuno Mendes also spoke about the factors that allowed Paris Saint-Germain to consolidate collectively this season. Arrived last summer for 38 million euros, the 22-year-old left side quickly found its place in Luis Enrique’s team. According to Mendes, the strength of the PSG lies in its solidarity momentum and its ability to play as a team.
“Yes, I think this year we are much stronger than last year. It was the first year of the coach. He tried to do the best he could to make sure we were in the field, all the players. This year, we made the right choices, even the coach and the sports director, they did a good job. We have players who do everything for the team, help in defense, that we attack well. We play as a team. That’s how we’re gonna get away. We’re on the right path to winning big things, that’s our goal,” said the Portuguese international in RMC’s “Rothen S’enflame”.
Gianluigi Donnarumma: a deserved extension
The wind turned for Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian doorman of Paris Saint-Germain is now under discussion for an extension of contract, after having proven his value on the ground. Initially under contract until June 2026, Donnarumma had been criticized for his irregularity and mistakes in high intensity matches.
However, in the last few months, he has managed to raise the bar by multiplying the remarkable performances, especially during the important matches against Liverpool and Aston Villa in the Champions League. Its agent, Enzo Raiola, confirmed that the player wants to stay at the PSG, while the club seeks to secure its presence in the long term while respecting its new wage policy based on measurable performance.
A contract extension for Donnarumma now seems close, according to journalist Abdellah Boulma. This extension would be fully deserved after his remarkable performances this season.
