Messi should wait for Reims / PSG for first match, says Olé – Parisfans.fr

Last week, Lionel Messi signed a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2023 (with an additional year optional) and then started training on Thursday. Now everyone is waiting for their first game with PSG. There was briefly the idea of ​​seeing the 34-year-old striker against Brest this Friday (3rd day of Ligue 1), but it is to be forgotten according to Olé. The Argentine’s debut is set to be in Reims on August 29 during the 4th day of Ligue 1.

“Mauricio Pochettino does not want to rush the start of Lionel Messi at Paris Saint Germain. The Argentine coach’s priority is for Leo to prepare physically after a month of vacation, on the one hand, and on the other hand, to get to know his new teammates well before launching him onto the pitch. Therefore, after a few days with a lot of intensity, this Wednesday, he lowered the loads.

As for the match in Brest, Messi seems almost excluded. It is very likely that the first appearance will only take place on Sunday 29, against Reims, also away. “

Completely sensible statements, even if a surprise is not yet to be ruled out. Messi will have resumed training for only 8 days. It is probably not the wisest to play it. PSG absolutely do not need to rush. There is necessarily the desire to see the Argentinian play, except that the priority is that he can continue from September. At least, many returns to the group are more likely (Gueye, Neymar, Marquinhos, Paredes, Di Maria, Verratti and Donnarumma), although that is not certain either.
