Patrick Videira Recalls Early PSG Training Journey

Former Paris Saint-Germain youth player Patrick Videira recalled his childhood years at the club, describing how he and Grégory Paisley traveled alone by RER A to the training center in Saint-Germain-en-Laye while playing football with a tennis ball.

According to L'Équipe, Videira and Paisley were eight years old when they joined PSG's training center and created improvised matches during their journeys on crowded trains.

"We would nutmeg people in the RER, we were crazy. When gentlemen raised their voices, we stopped, but nobody ever bothered us," said Grégory Paisley.

Paisley recalled that the train doors became their goals during the trips. Videira described similar memories from their regular journeys between Paris and the club's facilities.

"The doors were the goals, and between stops we tried to score," said Patrick Videira.

Videira's memories are part of a broader account of PSG's youth years, when the two children traveled independently to reach the club's training environment in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
