The start of the PSG season is proving to be much more demanding than expected. After abandoning the Champions Trophy in Lens and conceding two narrow draws in Rennes (2-2) then in Lille (2-2), the Parisians are still chasing their first success of the year. This sluggish start is largely explained by the lack of freshness in the squad. Demanded by the World Cup this summer, most of the executives did not benefit from a real vacation and had to attack the championship without optimal preparation.
Added to this physical deficit is a particular schedule, since the capital club has only played away since the resumption. Without the support of its public to launch its dynamic, Paris has not yet tasted victory on French soil. It is therefore with an urgent need to launch his season that the reigning champion approaches the reception of the Monegasque runner-up for his big first of the year at the Parc des Princes. A crucial meeting for Parisians, eager to breathe new life into this Friday.
Luis Enrique brings out the heavy artillery
For this poster, Luis Enrique is preparing to make a strong choice by aligning his typical team. If the Spanish technician had gotten into the habit of rotating his squad in Ligue 1 just before the European deadlines to preserve his executives, the reception of Monaco imposes a strategic break. The priority at the moment is no longer managing the calendar, but rather the quest for a first success in front of its supporters to reassure a start to the season that has been sluggish so far. So, with the suspension of Nuno Mendes, the only regular starter who should be on the bench is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia according to the latest information from several media.
Maghnes Akliouche, facing his former club, and Lucas Digne should be lined up alongside the usual starters. Left to rest last week, Ousmane Dembélé should therefore make his return to the forefront of the Parisian attack. Facing Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday, PSG will be able to rotate their bench against opposition within their reach. By launching all his strength this Friday evening, Luis Enrique intends to strike a big blow for the reunion with the Parc des Princes and finally launch the season of his troops. We will still have to win against the Monegasques who have been dangerous since the start of the season. Answer this evening at 9:05 p.m.
