Paris Saint-Germain recalled a Slovenian who played in Paris: “We all wanted to train with Ibrahimovic, Beckham, Pastore…”
Paris Saint-Germain is today a club full of stars. Lionel Messi is the biggest of them all. But the Parisians also have Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. And, of course, who else. Interestingly, Paris Saint-Germain once had a Slovenian. Born in Paris, but still Slovenian. Nicolas Rajshel is a PSG kid. He spent his youth there and was there when the club got new owners who changed everything. He was also given the opportunity to actually train a few times with the national team, which at the time included Zlatan Ibrahimović and David Beckham.
Ancelotti always encouraged him
“I was at the club when the new owners came in, and I witnessed the first changes that happened to Paris Saint-Germain. It started with a massive influx of top football players. Javier Pastore, Thiago Silva, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham… My teammates and I dreamt of being able to train with them. All the discussions in the dressing room revolved around this. We were all delighted. Then it was my moment. I’ve been waiting for this since I was a little girl! I wanted to show my qualities. And every time I could be there, it worked out well. Coach Carlo Ancelotti and the rest of the coaching staff always congratulated me and encouraged me to never give up. For me, it was a great source of motivation that I wanted to relive as often as possible. I have only fond memories of all this,” she said in a conversation published during the World Cup in Qatar.

, Nicolas Raychel recalled highlights from Paris Saint-Germain.
Rajšel – his uncle Srečko used to play for Olimpija – never made his debut in the national team’s jersey, despite training with the national team. “When I left PSG in 2013, I was very sad. All my thoughts were on Paris Saint-Germain. Eight years of effort have come to nothing. But I still grew as an actor there, and I also turned from a boy into a man. I went to PSG with the dream of signing my first professional contract there, but unfortunately it was not to be. When I left, it was difficult. But we had to get out of there quickly, otherwise we would have sunk. But for six months I searched in vain for a new club for myself. But I never gave up, even though I was thinking of doing something else,” the 29-year-old winger admitted today.
He has nothing to worry about anymore
Nicolas Rajshel then revived his football career and got back on track in the country of his roots – Slovenia. “Celje was the start of my career. There I made my way to the professional level and, among other things, donned the jersey of the Slovenian national under-21 team,” explained Rajšel, who played only one game for the young Slovenian national team, but also scored against Croatia in a 2-1 win. Before he left for Celje, he was also associated by some with
Olimpija
, but after his farewell to the city, he disappeared from the Slovenian football radar quite quickly.
Rajshel now plays in Belgium for second division club FCV Dender, for whom he has scored 3 goals and contributed 2 assists in 12 matches this season. He has also played for Union Saint-Gilloise, Oostende and Roeselare in Belgium, and in Azerbaijan for Gabala. And how to move on? “I go from day to day. I will not be picky because I know where I am coming from. I have had many challenging moments in recent years. I was injured, I didn’t play… I am no longer worried. I’m injured at the moment, but I’m working hard to get back on the pitch in January. I remain a football player with a clear goal: to always progress and go even higher,” concluded Nicolas Rajše. A Slovenian who was a member of Paris Saint-Germain.
