Last Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain beat OGC Nice (1-0) in a laborious manner during the eleventh day of Ligue 1. It was Gonçalo Ramos who finally delivered the capital club, in the final seconds of added time.
The last matches of Luis Enrique’s men are sluggish in the French championship. In particular because of the opponents, who operate in a low block. “In Ligue 1, they have eleven goalkeepers while in the Champions League, they look us in the eye”the Portuguese striker complained after the victory against the Aiglons.
According to Adil Rami, the explanation is logical. “PSG is one of the best teams in the world. Even Liverpool (0-1 for the Reds on March 5 in C1) regrouped for 90 minutes. PSG forces you to stay behind, you can’t do otherwise. The people of Nice would have liked to go out, to have more space, but Paris prevents you from doing so. The Niçois tried to restart, they were not content to defend and swing. But it’s almost impossible against this PSG because there is pressing and counter-pressing. analyzed the sports consultant on Ligue 1+.
Rami asks PSG to “leave more space” to L1 clubs
And the former central defender continued: “When Parisians complain about playing against teams who are on the bus every weekend, no I don’t agree. If you want teams that don’t push the bus, give them more space. You force teams to play like that because they can’t do otherwise.”
This Tuesday evening, the configuration will undoubtedly be different at the Parc des Princes. At 9 p.m.,
the Rouge et Bleu will host Bayern Munich on the occasion of the fourth day of the league phase of the Champions League.
