Paris Saint-Germain’s last outing against Nice on Friday (2-3) raised some questions in the club’s ranks.
After a refreshing start to the season, the Luis Enrique version of PSG conceded its first defeat on Friday against Nice (2-3). Once again, the Parisians relied on an impressive Kylian Mbappé in the finish. But concerns remain across all lines, starting with defense.
Asked to comment on the state of form of the Parisians, Bixente Lizarazu believes that Milan Skriniar lacks liveliness against the teams called upon to counter. “ Defensively, it’s quite worrying. The central defense is very heavy, especially Skriniar. He is slow. For a team that likes to have the ball and play high, as soon as there is a fast striker like Moffi, he suffers.”underlined the TF1 consultant in the Téléfoot show.
Up front, another reinforcement is struggling to find his feet: Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese striker has not yet unlocked his counter. “Obviously there is a dependence on Kylian Mbappé,” insists Lizarazu. Gonçalo Ramos is lacking guidance. Dembélé does Dembélé, with his dribbling and his lack of finishing. Barcola and Kolo Muani have just arrived, we can’t judge them too much. »
The former defender does not overshadow the midfielder, who still needs to gain creativity. “It’s especially the midfield that raises questions. Without Ugarte, it’s not at all the same impact, there’s not at all the same intensity. And after that, Zaire-Emery and Vitinha, it’s a little light in terms of technical mastery. It’s not enough, and I’m not even talking about Soler and Fabian Ruiz. My question is why is Verratti leaving? »he concluded, clearly expressing his disagreement after the departure of Marco Verratti to Qatar.
