While Vitinha is very uncertain for the first round against Bayern Munich, one player stands out in the role of sentinel.

Three days after its exit against Olympique Lyonnais, PSG reassured itself on Wednesday during the late match against FC Nantes. The capital club won 3-0 at the Parc des Princes and regained a four-point lead over RC Lens with five matches remaining, including a shock against the Sang et Or in Bollaert.

Several executives absent against Les Gones made their return against FC Nantes, including Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, author of a double. Injured in the heel on Sunday, Vitinha was missing and remains very doubtful for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

But if Fabian Ruiz, who is gradually returning to the field, still lacks rhythm after almost three months without playing, a player surprises in the sentry position. Once again established in the midfield, Beraldo was very comfortable against the Canaries and also received congratulations from Luis Enrique.

“Beraldo and Dro, I think they had a very good match”he confided after the meeting, welcoming the fact that his players were able to play in different positions: “It was a tricky match because it’s not easy when you change a lot of players but we clearly showed the ability of this team to play the same way no matter which player is going to play. »

Beraldo dubbed by Marquinhos

Marquinhos, himself repositioned in midfield by Thomas Tuchel, also appreciated the performance of his compatriot. “He’s perfect. Just like me, when I was with Tuchel, it was a new position, a new role, and he adapted very quickly, he pointed out. I think the coach saw something in him. And I talked a lot with him when the coach changed him to this position, so that he had an open mentality to learn things like I did at the time. »

“And I think it did me a lot of good too. I learned a lot of things. And we see him. That’s it, it can also open the doors even more for him in selection. The World Cup, it’s there and has a series of matches, he continued.
It’s very important a player like that who plays in midfield, in defense, on the wing. I think for the coach there is a lot of value in a player like that and in everything he does, he does well. Even today, he was very efficient. He also gives security to the defense because he is a sentry who knows how to attack but also knows how to cover the spaces in front of the defense very well. It does us good. He’s a player we still missed in this squad. And I think he fulfills this role very well. »
