Verratti: Midfielders don't need flashy stats, but they need to make their teammates better

Live Bar February 8, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Verratti was interviewed by the "Team Newspaper" a few days ago, in which he talked about the duties of midfielders. He said midfielders don't need to have good stats, but to make their teammates better.

Reporter: "In the Champions League group stage match against Manchester City, Pochettino put you in the back position, what kind of ability do you think players in this position need to have? ”

Verratti: "In this position, you're the first player to feel the pressure. In this position you need to control the ball under your feet so that the team can reorganize the attack. When the ball is with us, we are less threatened and more able to pull open space within the opposing penalty area. Of course, you're in different team systems, and the style of the No. 6 player you play is different. ”
