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. »
