Luis Campos and Christophe Galtier put a lot of pressure on Carlos Soler

He dreamed bigger. This summer, Carlos Soler refused a contract extension offer to FC Valence to join Paris Saint-Germain. A new major challenge for the Spaniard, ready to take a step forward in his career. On September 1, he signed a long-term contract until 2027, proof that the residents of the Parc des Princes trusted him and were determined to move forward hand in hand with him. Despite everything, the 25-year-old knew that when he arrived in the capital he would have to deal with strong competition. But he was ready for the challenge.

Quickly, he admitted to having integrated well into the five-star locker room of PSG. “In the end (Mbappé, Messi and Neymar), they are normal people. You realize when you are with them, that you can talk to them, that there is no problem. They are normal people. The thing is, on the pitch they decide the game for you […] I came here because I think I can be important and I signed for five years. Since I’ve been here (with Galtier), it’s been very good, very serious. He knows what he wants and works very well tactically in the days leading up to matches”.

Selected to participate in the World Cup in Qatar with La Roja, Soler could not really earn playing time, he who was a substitute in the spirit of Luis Enrique. Although he played 90 minutes against Jordan in a friendly, he then played 34 minutes against Costa Rica and then 58 minutes against Morocco.

The Team reveals that Luis Campos (Football Advisor) and Christophe Galtier (coach) recently spoke with him to remind him that they expect much more from him. Both men want him to fight on the pitch so that he is no longer just a substitute and that he brings more things into the game. His technique is appreciated but he must do more vertical runs according to the Campos-duo. Galtier, who therefore did not hesitate to put a good pressure on Carlos Soler. He may have the opportunity to answer them this evening at the Parc des Princes opposite Strasbourg.
