PSG have 35 days to change, tell another story and suggest that they can eliminate Real Madrid who visited them on February 15 in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. For the moment, nothing is still happening, in 2022 as in 2021, with an amorphous team, made up of odds and ends, often appalling and causing a form of worry, weariness too. The improvement is slow, it often rains on his hopes, which are maintained by a miracle.
She leads the championship because she has beaten all the weaker ones than her, but rarely the opponents who can compete for one night. If it stalls once morest the good teams of L 1, following a defeat in Rennes, draws once morest Nice, Marseille and therefore Lyon, this Sunday January 9, what will it be once morest the leader of the Spanish championship? The answer may be in the question.
At least the same springs still operate. It is once once more his character in the last quarter of an hour, his luck, his happy coaching, his refusal to fall, it is according to, who coated this null with the appearances of the good deal, or of the not so bad, when everything was going awry.
With ten points ahead of their runner-up Nice, PSG took the luxury of playing nine once morest eleven once morest Lyonnais, by aligning Colin Dagba and Georginio Wijnaldum. They have to be fantastic in practice to earn that visibility, but Mauricio Pochettino’s problem may be that he doesn’t watch the games. Everyone knows, these two players are successful ghosts, since they give the ball scare, but their coach continues to align them when other solutions exist.
Navas had to save the house
Result, and these are no longer the two souls in pain, PSG still does not look like a team and FC Mbappé, this entity of happiness within this dying heap, might not remedy it. , despite two shots on the posts. We stigmatized two players, we might also have taken Mauro Icardi, the deadweight of the attack, or Leandro Paredes, the disoriented midfielder.
No player progresses with Pochettino and his training has most often been the loss of the ball one-on-one, with the success of Paqueta in this area and quite early (1-0, 8th). At the break, the Argentinian tactician will change his formula with a 4-4-2 diamond, Wijnaldum lower and Marco Verratti, higher.
The Italian was bored because PSG did not offer a game, he quickly found himself dispossessed of his desire to help. The metamorphosis did not result in any goal situation. On the contrary, Keylor Navas had to save the house at the end of a new one once morest one from Moussa Dembélé (59th), completed by a rescue of Dagba, who will not have missed everything. But he will be in the group of the first three replaced because his overall non-match was seen and hurt his eyes. For a Thilo Kherer scorer and who extinguished the debate of the replacement of Achraf Hakimi, left for the CAN. Debate that only Pochettino had opened.
