It is a Paris Saint-Germain haloed by its qualification for the final of the Champions League which moves this Saturday evening on the lawn of the Mosson stadium to face a Montpellier HSC already relegated. If this Ligue 1 match is like an meeting without much accounting stake, it is part of Luis Enrique and his men in a crucial phase of preparation for the two finals waiting for them: that of the French Cup against Reims and, above all, the European shock against Inter Milan.
Munich objective: manage organizations and maintain the pace
After the euphoria of qualification against Arsenal, the absolute priority for PSG is to arrive in the best physical and mental conditions for its last two major meetings of the season. Luis Enrique must juggle between the need to blow out his frames, who have given a lot, and that of maintaining a certain competitive rhythm. The last two championship defeats (against Nice and Strasbourg with a reworked team) have shown that relaxation could cost dearly, even if the Spanish coach insists: “We do not change the state of mind of a wins coach. »»
This trip to Montpellier, three days after the effort against Arsenal, should therefore see a new rotation of workforce. Players like Axel Tape, Senny Mayulu or Ibrahim Mbaye could have playing time. However, some executives could also be lined up for “Have the level to play here,”
As Luis Enrique pointed out, who awaits total involvement even in these end -of -season matches. The presence of Ousmane Dembélé, who has “Wanted to train” Despite an initial regeneration plan, illustrates the state of mind of the group.
Montpellier, an end of the season in freewheeling
For Montpellier, this reception of the European champion and finalist resembles a long way of the cross. Already relegated, the Hérault club lives a nightmarish season (24 defeats in 32 games) and has only its honor to defend. The objective for Zoumana Camara, who is already preparing next season in Ligue 2, will be to avoid a new humiliation in front of an opponent who historically succeeds with him very little (11 consecutive defeats, 41 goals collected in the last 10 games).
In this context, the meeting is similar to a management exercise for PSG. The main challenge will be to avoid injuries, to give rhythm to some and rest to others, while trying to reconnect with the championship victory to approach the finals with full confidence. The way Luis Enrique will “balance play times” will be one of the keys to this exciting end of the season.
