Thuram: Let me start by saying Marquinhos is showing real leadership and class. It’s understandable he wants to play alongside a legend like Ramos. But this situation is complex. Ramos’s injury history is a real concern, especially at his age. Yes, his experience and knowledge are invaluable, but PSG needs consistency on the pitch, especially in this crucial stage of the season.

Thuram: Absolutely.PSG has enough firepower upfront. If Ramos is deployed strategically, even in short bursts, his leadership, positional awareness, and those vital last-ditch tackles can be gamechangers. Think of him like a chess piece – a powerful piece that needs to be used at the right moment for maximum impact.
Host: That’s a fantastic analogy,Lilian.
Now, let’s talk about Marquinhos. He’s shown immense maturity in taking on the captain’s armband at such a young age. Do you think Ramos’s extended absence has put added pressure on him?
Thuram: Predictably, yes. Marquinhos is doing admirably, but Ramos’s absence has considerably increased his workload both defensively and in leading the backline. it’s a lot to handle, especially in a season with high expectations like this one.
Host: This dance between experience and youth is crucial for winning any major competition.
Lilian, what advice would you give Marquinhos in navigating this situation?
Thuram: I’d tell him to keep his head up, focus on his strengths, and continue to learn from whoever is beside him on the pitch.He has immense talent, and this is a phenomenal opportunity for him to grow as a leader. He needs to embrace the challenge.
Host: Fantastic advice,Lilian.
