“PSG, but it's the heart that speaks”. If Alain Giresse is the great legend of the Girondins de Bordeaux (record holder of matches and top scorer in the history of the club) and that he also played two years at OM, he believes in the qualification of Parisians before Liverpool in Eighth finals of the Champions League. The former star midfielder of the great French team of Michel Platini (semi-finalist of the 1984 World Cup and winner of Euro 84 at the Parc des Princes) was coach of the capital club in 1998. was fired on October 23 after 12 games.
After having run Stade Brestois (10-0 cumulative), Luis Enrique players first receive the Reds, next Wednesday, before playing Anfield the following Tuesday. And “Gigi” would have much preferred to see the red and blue fall on the other possible opponent, FC Barcelona. “Here, we really get into the very high level. Paris Saint-Germain will face a team of a level that he has not yet known. My preference went to Barcelona, compared to the type of game of Barcelona which could have agreed in Paris with their way of defending ”launched Giresse to Jacques Vendroux in the program The legends studio from Europe 1.
Giresse loves Salah a lot
Alain Giresse greatly fears Liverpool and explains: “It is a team that dominates the English championship, which is very aggressive, with a commitment, an intensity of play … If we are looking for something that can reassure us: they may be a little less good than 2024. They were really impressive in the ability to make all these efforts with both this commitment, players who know how to play ball and an attacker, Mohamed Salah, who is at the height of his career. It is a team with a very strong collective sense. You will have to be strong for Paris, try to make a difference at home because the return, in Liverpool, we know what it is to go and play there “.
This PSG of Luis Enrique is in a resplendent form before challenging the Liverpool of Arne Slot, carried by Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Joao Neves, a Stratospheric Dembélé Dembélé for two months or his winter recruit Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. In front of their audience of the delirium park, the leaders of Ligue 1 will most certainly try to dominate the formation led by Virgil Van Dijk while avoiding, therefore, to leave Mohamed Salah or Luis Diaz making the difference. The Egyptian sparkling is the best player in the world this season with Kylian Mbappé.
