French "L'Equipe" revealed that behind the seemingly close connection between the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy and the first team, there are actually many thorny problems such as poor communication and even power friction.
According to reports, club president Nasser expressed dissatisfaction with the loss of some youth training talents last summer a few weeks ago, and believed that there was currently a lack of players capable of playing for the first team. He personally intervened and asked youth director Cabaye and football director Campos to resolve the issue.
However, the communication gap between the two parties still exists. A very convincing example occurred after the loss to Marseille in September. At that time, Luis Enrique's coaching staff needed to supplement the number of training personnel due to an incomplete lineup. The first team manager actually called the U23 manager directly and requested that four players be sent up the next day. An insider revealed: "This was not even a direct conversation between the directors of the two departments, nor a communication between the two technical teams..."
This hasty promotion also caused controversy. For two of the players, Hafi and Slama, the youth training center has reservations or even opposition. A source from the youth training center said: "They didn't even ask for our opinion. We were all surprised with Yanis (Hafi), he still has a lot to improve. But Lescornet and Cabaye did not want Wasim (Slama) to go up because his physical condition is not ready and he has just returned from injury." However, the first-team management ultimately ignored these professional suggestions. Although the club officially denied this statement, saying that it was the result of communication between the two parties, some employees at the youth training center generally felt a "lack of contact" and "insufficient dialogue" and believed that many discussions were "superficial."
The deeper problem lies in the relationship between high-level officials. The report pointed out that in recent weeks some club employees have even mentioned the tense relationship between youth training director Cabaye and football director Campos, so much so that the so-called "Cabaye contract" and "Campos contract" have emerged, implying that the two are working independently on player signings.
Club executives also denied this rumor. An insider explained: "The youth training center has a willingness to change, which does not please everyone. This has triggered some rumors, but Cabaye has the support of the chairman."
