PSG-Nice: despite a double from Mbappé, Paris concedes its first setback of the season (2-3)

Thank you everyone for following us. See you next Tuesday for the continuation of the adventures of Paris Saint-Germain. Against Dortmund, the Parisians will launch their European campaign in the Champions League.

“I’ve already had better days,” Enrique started at Prime Video. It was a difficult match. We knew Nice, it’s a good team, tough, strong. They know how to keep the ball, we needed to press very high and I think they deserve the victory.

You have to win this kind of match, because after the international breaks it is always difficult to win. We didn’t have much time to train together. Some came back yesterday. But this is not an excuse, we must progress.

They hadn’t lost yet. Franceso Farioli, I really like it, his team is playing a very good game. They took the advantage with chances, they must be congratulated. I am happy with the team’s performance. When you give 100%, what do you want me to complain about? We have to improve, but I’m not worried. »

“We knew it was going to be a complicated match. Quite a few players returned late from selection. But that’s not an excuse, it was up to us to put in the right things from the start. It will help us for Tuesday’s match. It will be up to us to come in 100% from the start because it is a very important match.

Opposite, there was a great team, which knew how to take advantage of its opportunities. It’s up to us to improve little things, especially defensively. Taking three goals here is not possible. It hurts, a defeat in front of our supporters. I hope this will serve as a lesson for Tuesday.

There were eleven recruits with a new coach, new ideas. We adapt little by little, it’s up to us to adapt and be aware of what the coach wants. We try to do our best but there are some automations that we don’t yet have 100%. The serious things start on Tuesday, we don’t have any more time.

I feel very good, I came back very well after this big knee injury. I feel better and better. The injury left me off the field for almost 8 months so it’s true that it still takes a little time to feel 100%. But the feelings are very good and the more the matches progress, the better I feel physically and mentally.

“We played against a very solid team,” analyzed Kolo Muani on Prime Video. They are one of the few undefeated teams in this championship. They play good football, they stay compact, they managed to score three goals here. We must not forget that we are a new team. There have been a lot of changes and we need to give ourselves time to adapt. We will continue to work so that we can all get along together.

He lacked movement, we should have gone faster with the ball. They were well in place, they had to be worked on the width. We still played a very good game, we must not spit on it.

It’s a pleasure to play here, I was keen to help the team. We failed at one goal but it doesn’t matter, we will continue our work. »

The Italian stops a Nice attempt after a final counter-attack!

Hakimi tries to alert the ex-Lyonnais in depth, but the goalkeeper grabs the ball before him.

Paris circulates in the Nice camp, the opposing block slides well and does not open any space.

Vitinha inherits the ball from Hakimi, but he is countered by a forest of Niçois.

Boga is found along the sideline. He cuts into the axis, but his shot is blocked by the Portuguese at the entrance to the area.

Guessand manages to keep the ball in the Parisian camp and gets a foul.

The Parisians are forced to play a long ball into the area. Barcola manages to straighten the trajectory of the opening, but cannot find Kolo Muani.

Paris goes by air but that doesn’t worry the Riviera hinge.

Nice protects the area in front of its penalty area well. Beyond recovering the ball, the Aiglons managed not to give it back straight away and gave themselves precious seconds to breathe.

The Portuguese strikes from afar. More of an admission of weakness than a shot full of conviction.

Mbappé, Kolo Muani and Hakimi try to repeat the passes at the entrance to the area, but their little maneuver is stopped by the Nice hinge.

Ugarte is back.

He is visibly injured in the right ankle and leaves the field at a small trot.

Danilo sends a superb quarterback opening towards Mbappé. Served on the left of the area, the Bondynois succeeds in his control, but his second touch of the ball escapes him and he cannot follow up with a shot.

It’s in the direction of Hakimi, but it’s mostly too long.

True to his reputation, the Uruguayan made a winning comeback after a long race backwards to catch up with Guessand.

The Niçois attacked as soon as they had the chance. From now on, the Riviera doorman is starting to play for time.
