The seeds accumulate for Paris Saint-Germain. Faced with FC Barcelona, Wednesday evening in the Champions League, the capital's club will be deprived of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Marquinhos. The consequence of a last season stretched to the final of the Club World Cup, mid-July, and a shortened preparation.
What worry Emmanuel Petit, who fears seeing PSG losing his European title this season. “For the moment, Paris Saint-Germain is probably the best in many ways. But I see some teams competing with him the title. I am very, very curious to see the next match he will play against Barcelona “says the 1998 world champion to Olbg.com.
“I think there are also teams in England whose potential we will discover in the coming weeks. I am almost sure that with all the matches that PSG had to play last season, and taking into account the very short pre-season they had, they have already injured. We do not know what will happen in November ”,
he adds.
Emmanuel Petit fears the worst for PSG
“I know from experience that if you want to play ten months in a row, if you want to reach your ambitions and goals, you have to prepare for the start of the season. This was not the case in Paris Saint-Germainhe continues.
The players had three weeks of vacation and most of them started training a week before returning to the club. »»
“After ten days, they were already on the ground to compete in Ligue 1, then the Champions League. Mentally and physically, it is not sufficient preparation. Sooner or later, it will become very difficult to manage ”fears the former midfielder of the Blues and Arsenal, also passed through Barça. The worst is therefore to be feared for red and blue.
