PSG striker Edinson Cavani Does Not Worry about Criticism

Edinson Cavani says that he is not troubled by the criticism affecting Paris St Germain at the moment because he knows that criticism is part and parcel of football.


The Uruguayan striker has been in excellent form for the French outfit and it could not have come at a much better time. After the appointment of Unai Emery in the summer, the club has been struggling to get the same level of consistency in the league.

PSG striker Edinson Cavani Does Not Worry about Criticism

The Uruguayan striker has been in excellent form for the French outfit and it could not have come at a much better time. After the appointment of Unai Emery in the summer, the club has been struggling to get the same level of consistency in the league. Under the regime of Laurent Blanc, Paris St Germain were almost undefeatable in the domestic competitions.

The only reason for the club deciding for a change in management is the lack of performances when it came to European competitions.Emery has been a multiple Europa League winner over the last five years, and his presence has certainly led to an improvement in the club’s European form.

Despite in a tough group containing the likes of Arsenal and FC Basel, Paris St Germain have managed to take 10 points from the four games. The only blemish in Europe this season came through a tough draw with Arsenal. Even then, PSG remain second in the table and finishing top would be the main priority.

Apart from doing well in the French league, Cavani is also the second-best scorer in the Champions League this season.”The only people I have to answer to are my teammates and the coach [Unai Emery], who has faith in me.I sleep well, because I know I give everything, sometimes even more.Criticism is part of football, of cinema, of everything. Work always ends up paying off, and if there are critics, there are also those who love PSG, who love Cavani, and that gives me the strength to continue,” said Cavani, who has become the club’s first choice striker after the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Edinson Cavani may return to his former club Napoli

PSG striker Edinson Cavani has stated that he could one day return to his former club Napoli, with whom he shares a special relationship, but only if current president Aurelio De Laurentiis does not remain at the club.

Cavani fell out withDe Laurentiis before his massive £ 60 million move to Paris St Germain. The Uruguayan was linked with several other clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United, but he was able to make a move only to PSG since Napoli reportedly demanded a lot of money. At that time, PSG were the only club capable of paying such a huge figure for a 27-year-old striker.

At that time, PSG were the only club capable of paying such a huge figure for a 27-year-old striker.

After the move to the French club, everything has not been good for the striker. He has largely been playing second fiddle to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the team. He has been used as a central striker only when the big Swede has not been available for selection. This appears to have hurt him a lot and rumours continue to persist about a move away from the French club. Atletico Madrid have been the latest club to be linked with a move in the summer, but Cavani has also hinted that he may be open to a return to Napoli ifDe Laurentiis leaves the club.

“I’ve spoken about it with my family and I’d really love to go back one day, but only when their current president’s no longer there. That’s the one condition for my return and I’ve always said it. I have such strong feelings for that city and if I could, I wouldn’t think twice about returning. I’ll always thank all of the teams I played for from the bottom of my heart because they all helped me grow as a person and a footballer, but the three years I spent in Naples were fantastic,” said Cavani.
