Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has spoken about what his team is planning for the clash against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
Kylian Mbappé, the X factor of Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to face Real Sociedad this Wednesday in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. Recovered from an ankle injury, the French striker represents a major threat for the Basque club. His talent and speed make him a real danger for any defense.
“It’s not just him”
However, Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil does not intend to focus his entire strategy on neutralizing Mbappé. “Mbappé is one of the best players in the world. He is capable of getting rid of four players, finding space, creating scoring opportunities, he admitted. It’s almost impossible to stop these kinds of players when they’re having a good day, the Spanish manager told journalists. But what characterizes me, and you can ask the players, is that I never prepare a match based on a single player, in this case Mbappé. »
The Spanish coach is aware that Real Sociedad will have to be at their best to counter the Parisian attack, led by KM7. “They have a great coach, a great team, Mbappé is a huge player in the middle of a huge team. But it’s not just him. If we want to win, we have to play the best game possible. »
