Paris Saint-Germain star Blaise Matuidi is hoping Edinson Cavani’s four-goal salvo against Caen will provide the striker with the confidence he needs to go on a scoring spree.
The Uruguay international has come under fire this season after initially struggling to fill the boots of Zlatan IB.rahimovic in the central striking role at PSG – a position he has publicly craved for some time.
But the tide has been swinging in Cavani’s favour of late, with his goal in midweek against Arsenal in the Champions League and four more – all in the first half – at Caen indicating an upturn in form.
And his displays in front of goal have provided Matuidi with evidence that his team-mate is starting to emerge from the Swede’s shadow.
“He already scored against Arsenal and [against Caen] he got four goals so we are really pleased for him. I hope he will keep moving forward,” the midfielder told reporters.

“We know that Edi is a guy who needs confidence. We know that. But he’s a very talented player. He scores a lot of goals every season.
“We trust him completely. I know that he will score a lot of goals this year.”
Close-season recruit Grzegorz Krychowiak believes Caen walked into a PSG backlash following their frustrating draw against the Gunners at the Parc des Princes.
The Poland midfielder said: “I think we’ve been a little disappointed because I think we could have won against Arsenal. We had several chances to. Unfortunately we lacked a bit of efficiency.
“The win against Caen is good for what lies ahead. We will keep going.”
