What if PSG started to doubt? This Friday evening, a few days before the Champions League shock against Arsenal, PSG received Nice with the intention of reassuring itself and keeping its invincibility. But that was not the case. The Parisian training fell home in the face of a Nice training, notably because of a very large Marcin Bulka, author of 12 stops in this meeting. But beyond the result, it is in the content that PSG can worry especially in the second period. If Paris still dominates so much and has obtained many opportunities, he has shown a certain feverishness in the last gesture.
Usually effective in front, at least this season, Ousmane DembĂ©lĂ© has missed several opportunities. For his part, DĂ©sirĂ© DouĂ© seemed well below its shape of the moment. The second Parisian period against Nice also shown that this workforce was experiencing a less physically well. So there is obviously the match against Arsenal in the head but several Parisians seemed below. Captain Marquinhos, since the end of the game set against Aston Villa, no longer really gives off serenity and suffered a lot in front of GaĂ«tan Laborde. “We don't like to lose these matches, especially at home. These are points which, even if we are champion, pass … and that's it. It is a very important moment of the season. Now is not the time to create doubts even if we have missed this match, you have to keep confidence because there are very important deadlines that arrive ”he explained after the match on Dazn.
Doubts at the wrong time
His teammate Pacho was trying to calm things up. “There are no doubts. It's football. We are a big team, we trust us. We know that all together, we can win. In defense, we must improve, play like a team, work offensively and defensively. In football anything can happen, today it was not for us. ” However, if the Parisians seem to have already turned the page on this defeat, the doubt hovers above the heads even more after the draw against Nantes a little earlier in the week. But Luis Enrique, who asked the players not to lower their heads and go to the supporters, do not think that this match will disturb his team against the Gunners in a few days.
“There, immediately, the players are clearly affected. We deserved to win, no doubt about it. But if the opponent at 100 % efficiency and you don't have your usual efficiency, things run. It's as simple as that. (…) Compared to what I saw, I immediately sign for Tuesday, in London, and for the return match. Not for the result, of course, but I saw a team that had 30 opportunities to score. I am not at all worried. We attacked, not calculated, and we fell against a goalkeeper (Marcin Bulka) who made incredible stops. We are the best French team, by far, we have proven it. You have to be courageous now and think about winning the C1. (…) We aimed to continue breaking records and this one will not be possible (the record of invincibility). But that does not change our goal to arrive in the Champions League final. ” This first disillusionment can tip the Parisian season. So simple reminder or disturbing defeat, answer in a few days …
