PSG, the kingdom of fear

Players from the capital club too often encounter mental difficulties in the Champions League.

Despite their defeat at San Siro on Tuesday evening in the group stage of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain are in second place in their group. However, the lack of rebellion of the Rouge et Bleu, in the second half against the Milanese, raises questions.

Indeed, after Olivier Giroud’s goal, Luis Enrique’s men did not seem to want to come back to the score at all costs. “We always have the impression that fear is communicated in this team, as soon as events do not go wellanalyzes Vikash Dhorasoo in the columns of The Team. And when PSG is trailing, who is the leader, who is calling the shots? Because it’s good to be a leader when everything is going well… But when things are going badly, there is no one to lead the team behind him. »

“We would never have imagined that when seeing the draw, especially since PSG is supposed to have strengthened this season. We absolutely need to prepare better for high-intensity matches,” warns the former midfielder. For the moment, the capital club has its destiny in its hands. On the next day of the Champions League, a victory against Newcastle would ensure qualification for the round of 16 if AC Milan does not beat Dortmund at the same time.
