His entry allowed the Paris block to advance 10 to 15 meters and this freed up spaces for Neymar and Messi, invisible until then. But despite all his good will and his incredible talent, Paris did not manage to catch up. The Ile-de-France residents therefore meet at Bayern on March 8. And it’s another Mbappé that we should see on the lawn. With rhythm, it is on his broad shoulders that the fate of the capital club will rest.
”A miracle”, “Too many shortcomings”, Neymar and Donnarumma targeted: PSG are on the ropes following the defeat once morest Bayern
After the meeting, the journalists rushed on him to have his feelings. Always very comfortable in the exercise, he assured not to give up. “We only lost 1-0, there are no more away goals, if we play our attacking football and we put them in difficulty and we score once, it’s a draw” , he began. “Afterwards, you have to play with what you have in your pants to go and win the qualification there. All together we will be able to do something good if we work hard. We are not at all beaten down, we still have every chance to qualify.
He then hoped that the sores would no longer affect the Parisian workforce. “Above all, I think that all our players must be in good health”, he continued. “Everyone should eat well, sleep well and prepare as much as possible. We have seen that when we play attacking football and go forward, they are not comfortable. We are going to go up there to win and qualify.”
If this release seems trivial, it is not at all for the French press. Essentially for the second part of the remarks. For some, it was nothing more or less than a volley towards Neymar. Often attacked for his deplorable lifestyle, the Brazilian is, in addition, ghostly since his failure at the World Cup.
”This implication is very heavy with meaning”
Never once morest a supported charge, Daniel Riolo also commented on the words of Bondy’s rocket. For him, no doubt, the target is all found. “We have seen him dragging himself on the ground for weeks. He’s out of shape. The sentence at the end of the match of the real boss of the club, Kylian Mbappé, went far too unnoticed”he began in the show Apolline morning.
For the editorialist, Mbappé is fed up with the state of mind of the Parisian locker room. “This implication is very heavy with meaning. Implied that there are star players in this team”, continues Riolo. “Those who follow the club on a daily basis know that they like to go out and party. You haven’t missed the information from the mayor of Bougival who complains regarding the repeated parties at Neymar’s. The ‘eat well, sleep well’ is addressed to certain star players of the team. On the Monday before the OM-PSG match (2-1), which was on Wednesday, players from the squad were at a movie preview. We are there in this club. We go out, it’s the sequins.
This little Paris is still alive despite its defeat once morest Bayern
An opinion which is not at all shared by Jérôme Rothen. “Is he sending a message?” Asks the former Parisian in the Dream Team RMC. “It may be reminiscent of a professional conscience for some in a match rhythm which intensifies, according to him. It’s possible. PSG is playing its future over the next three weeks. In these matches, there is a different state of mind and fighting spirit. I expect much more from Neymar, from Messi.”
Difficult to disentangle the true from the false, but one thing is certain, the PSG will need another Neymar to qualify.
