MORE TIME NEEDED
The PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said that the new signings at the club need more time in order to perform well. The Swedish striker was amongst the high-profile signings to arrive at the French club. Even though the 30-year-old might not have cost a lot of money in terms of transfer fees, he is one of the highest earning players in the world due to his reported £ 250,000 per week after tax contract. However, PSG have not performed well in the first few matches of the French league after they have drawn both games. Speaking after the latest match, the Swedish striker said that due to the huge number of signings at the club in the summer, they need to gel in order to perform well.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been the receiver of the biggest criticism, but he has been able to rescue PSG on numerous occasions in the last two matches. He has said that the only way forward for the club is now to win matches. Due to the high profile players, the opposition have been adopting a very defensive style of play. It has been the main reason for PSG not performing well in the opening two matches, but Ibrahimovic expects them to break down opponents easily once they settle.
“I still need some time to be ready. I had a great debut, but I understand that the fans weren’t happy with us trailing 2-0 at half-time. They expected better. I am certain that we have done well in the transfer market. When I came here, the aim of the club was to recruit good players and I see that today we have them. That means we have the platform to build something very special in Paris,” said the former AC Milan striker after the second match of the season.
