The former coach of the Blues has granted an interview to France Football, to be released tomorrow. Laurent Blanc is not soft with his former club nor with two of his former players. He believes that the PSG must grow at the European level and Adrien Rabiot and Marco Verratti do not reach the level that could be expected of them. In addition, the world champion 98 wants to find a club.

Very discreet since his departure from the club of the capital in 2016, Laurent Blanc has given a long interview to France Football. The least that can be said is that he is not soft with his former employer. "The PSG has not realized the dimension of the top European level. It's nice to say we are in the top 8 in 2016 but the competition is moving too, "he says in the newspaper.

"There are major European clubs across the way, who have been at the highest level for thirty, forty, fifty years and who are ahead of Paris in many areas: club culture, experience, influence ... These are things that are built in the long term and can not be bought The victory is not programmed. This is also the charm of football. "

Subsequently, he is critical of two of his former players, Adrien Rabiot and Marco Verratti. He says their progress is disappointing and even non-existent. "Adrien, everything is unfortunately not clear at home, says the former world champion 98 . This boy has everything to succeed. For now, he no longer has the route he should have when he has everything. But I may be misplaced to judge him. "

He goes on to talk about the Italian milieu, Laurent Blanc says: "Verratti has not changed in the game for two or three years . "

Finally, about his coaching job. Without a club since 2016, Blanc would like to return to a bench but not under any conditions. "I did not plan to stay that long without a club," he admits. I thought that one or two years of rest would give me the energy needed to meet a big challenge. I may have been unclear about my situation at the time. I'm waiting for a good project, with a club that has ambition. "
