A new European disaster
It’s more and more complicated for Olympique de Marseille in the championship. As we can read on the front page of Provencewhich headlines “Worrying», four days before the trip to Amsterdam in the Europa League and a week before the Clasico, Om was unable to beat a weak Téfécé last night at the Vélodrome. The Olympians were even whistled by the supporters for their performance which was once again deemed tasteless. Same story on the first page of The team which describes the Marseille team as “messy“. But this is not the only team that has already had doubts in September. The last winner of the Coupe de France, Toulouse has only obtained one victory since the start of the season, fortunately their next opponent, Union St Gilloise, did not have full confidence this weekend in falling against Genk. But what about the Racing Club de Lens? The sensation of last season and now the bottom of the French championship, but for everyday life The voice of the North, no fatalism, players still need to get up to speed, it’s not yet a crisis, they will give everything in the LDC. We also don’t forget LOSC and Stade Rennais, the two teams fought a great battle on Saturday which ended with a score of 2-2, nothing alarming for them. Then The Parisian some concerns for PSG who will meet Borussia Dortmund this week. Paris had never landed in such a homogeneous, tough and electric group, a group of death in short. In addition, PSG is not having the start to the season that supporters dream of. The capital club even suffered its first defeat of the season against OGC Nice on Friday evening. Finally, we must make one observation: none of the French clubs involved in the European Cup won this weekend.
Tuchel put under pressure
As for the German press, everyone is very optimistic about BVB’s chances of beating the Parisians. Despite a slight crisis, the Marsupials raised their heads by beating Friborg 4-2 on Saturday. The key man against Paris will undoubtedly be veteran Mats Hummels according to German journalists. By reading the daily Bild, we also learn that Thomas Tuchel’s coaching leadership at Bayern is questioned by two locker room executives. Indeed, according to the newspaper, he is frustrating two Bavarian stars, and that could therefore create a big problem for the cohesion of the group. In fact, Joshua Kimmich and Matthijs de Ligt would be frustrated not to be indisputable starters under Tuchel. The two internationals fear losing their place in the selection if the situation does not change. Furthermore, as De Ligt revealed in a post-match interview this weekend, he doesn’t know why he is put on the bench so often. Same for Kimmich who showed annoyance each time he was replaced. The German midfielder would seriously consider leaving next summer for Barça if nothing develops positively for him.
Barça wants to strengthen its attack
In the interior pages ofA.S., we learn that Aston Villa, Liverpool and Barcelona will try everything to recruit the 21-year-old Spanish winger from Athletic Bilbao, Nico Williams, who is at the end of his contract next summer. The Spanish nugget has a preference for the Blaugrana. But be careful according to the Daily Mailwhich includes information from Files, FC Barcelona wants to recruit Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. The 23-year-old Swede is seen as the ideal replacement for Robert Lewandowski for the future, the Polish striker is already 35 years old, we must prepare for the future.
