PSG wins the French Super Cup with the help of their Spanish signings
Yesterday, PSG conquered the French Super Cup by coming from behind against Rennes, with the participation of their two Spanish summer signings from the start. Ander Herrera, who arrived for free, and Pablo Sarabia, for whom around €20 million was paid to Sevilla.
These two signings were necessary for the midfield of Thomas Tuchel's team, and they also showed good quality details in the match. The first one will be key to controlling the midfield, while the second one proved to be a winger with a lot of scoring ability and great association skills.
Interestingly, these have been two cheap signings in today's market parameters, and the most important clubs in the League have not been able to access them or have not wanted to. They have different trajectories but with common points, such as the fact that they have not achieved more prominence in the Spanish national team (Herrera has only played 2 times), despite having played and achieved great success in the lower categories of the national team.
"Their mentality is good. Herrera must adapt because we play differently from Manchester United. And Sarabia is truly an impressive player. With and without the ball. His off-the-ball game is exemplary, he gives us a lot of intensity," said Thomas Tuchel in a press conference yesterday.
They have time ahead of them, although it is curious that, with trajectories like theirs, they had to go abroad to finish succeeding at the highest level. Perhaps in other times with fewer players of their quality, it would have been different...
