Laurent Blanc urges Javier Pastore to continue improving

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc urges playmaker Javier Pastore to continue making improvements to his game following an impressive season.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has talked up the improvements of midfielder Javier Pastore, but has also insisted that he needs to get better in front of goal.

Pastore has been an important player for the Parisians this season as they aim to retain their Ligue 1 crown, despite heavy resistance from both Lyon and Marseille.

"He has the talent and mentally, he has improved. Technically, he is way above average, and perhaps there's a little more maturity in his play now," said Blanc, according to the club's official website.

"He needs to be confident, he has a very good pre-season which saw him in top shape. We are very happy to have him and to see him playing like he is.

"He offers us a number of solutions, but he can still do better, especially in front of goal. Javier has done everything right to have a great season."

PSG currently hold second place in the Ligue 1 standings.
