This is a first bad news for Paris Saint-Germain. After his qualification won on the lawn of Liverpool, the club of the capital already thinks of its quarter -final of the Champions League against Aston Villa.
As he had obtained twice last season, PSG asked the postponement of its Ligue 1 match scheduled between the two games against the Villans. Luis Enrique's men must welcome the English on Wednesday 9 before going to Birmingham on Tuesday 15, six days later. They therefore wanted to avoid going to Nantes, for a meeting which will take place on Saturday 12, if it is not moved.
For PSG, it's no!
The blow for PSG, therefore, is that FC Nantes does not want a postponement for this match. The club chaired by Waldemar Kita
“Will express his refusal to the board of directors of the Professional Football League”indicates Ouest-France this Friday.
Committed to a fight for maintenance, once again, Antoine Kombouaré's men do not wish this change of calendar which would force them not to play for two weeks (from weekends from 6 to weekend of 20), before chaining three games in a week if this PSG-Nantes is moved to Wednesday, April 23, as the Parisians wish. In addition, the FCN also thinks of its audience which would undoubtedly prefer that this poster be scheduled for a Saturday evening rather than in the middle of the week.
Last season, while PSG and OM had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and the Europa League, the LFP had shifted some of their meetings. “The journey of French clubs in European cuts is an absolute priority. All the points scored are fundamental for the UEFA coefficient of France ”had it was justified.
“Solidarity of French clubs still engaged in European cups”FC Lorient, in a case similar to that of FC Nantes, had agreed to shift its match against PSG in April.
