Ex-PSG Defender Ricardo Gomes Analyzes Beraldo’s Challenging Start at PSG
Struggles in adapting to the Parisian squad
**Lucas Beraldo**, a winter 2024 signing for **Paris Saint-Germain**, has faced a rocky start with the Parisian team. Originally a central defender, the Brazilian has frequently been deployed on the **left side of the defense** under Luis Enrique, playing a secondary role to Nuno Mendes.
**Ricardo Gomes**, a former PSG player and coach, provided his insight on the situation. **”He arrived very early and is paying the price today, but he remains a very technically strong player. I’m convinced he’s a good choice for the club,”** Gomes expressed to L’Equipe this Thursday.

The former Brazilian stalwart highlighted the strengths of his young compatriot: **”He has a rare profile with outstanding ball-playing ability. His sense of dueling will take more time to develop. He will continue to grow with more game time, especially in the Champions League.”**
Since the season’s start, **Lucas Beraldo has participated in nine matches**, starting seven of them, accumulating a total of **664 minutes** in the Paris jersey. These numbers fall short compared to **Willian Pacho**, another club recruit, who has logged **1197 minutes** as the preferred choice alongside Marquinhos in the **central defense**.
