To Pprinces arch,
Staggering exchange with Christophe Galtier, who struggles as best he can in the ambient doldrums of the moment, always voluntary but as clueless as his predecessors in the Parisian electric chair. A colleague points out to him that, as usual, his team has run more or less ten limits less than his opponent, and the Parisian coach agrees without discussion: “The problem of running volume is not new. , this is an identified issue. But you cannot change the characteristics of the players you have for the current season. »
No pretense, a quality that you have to know how to appreciate in the Marseillais. While the PSG looks at financial fair play as the latest discovery of the Lepine contest (“Oh, this thing is nice, but what is it for?”), his coach basically explains to us that he does not have the means to build the squad he would like. All after spending a good five minutes talking about “a weakened team”. And that Marquinhos squeezed his legs together to hold on despite the pain. And that Hakimi’s muscular embarrassment woke up. And that we had to take risks to get Kimpembe back at half-time. And that the staff “dare” to hope that the group will be able to find freshness in three weeks. It’s all true, certainly, but aren’t we missing the point? It’s simple, the questions assail us:
» How can Galtier, at least in his mind, find himself so deprived that he chooses to make his team play like a red lantern from L1 who shows up at the Park on high tide evenings: ten behind, waiting for the 60th, that Kylian is operational?
» How did this genius from Campos find nothing better last summer than to seek out Carlos Soler or Fabian Ruiz to extend the workforce, when even Jesé wouldn’t want it for his reggaeton group?
» How can Vitinha, great satisfaction of the club since the start of the season, find himself depressed after six months, sucked into a kind of black hole like so many other recruits before him?
» How can a club with so much money think that a 16-year-old kid, no matter how promising, has to start a Champions League game because there is no better than him in store for a mission as basic as closing his lane in midfield?
» How this same club was able to extend Neymar, and is preparing to do the same with this brave Messi, who has dropped the ramp since he finished the football game in Qatar?
» How do we continue to build the project with the front three when we know it doesn’t work, the others are completely inhibited, no one tries anything with the ball anymore?
» How the emir continues to trust Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who fractures the club a little more with each reorganization: the coup of putting Antero Henrique in the hands of Luis Campos when the two cannot get along, frankly we is where ?
You will tell me, it’s always the same story with PSG. A revolution a year or so, and a club that regresses each time, almost happy to lose only a small goal in the first leg against a team that is hardly more dashing, which plays at the forefront with a guy whose whole Park is laughed when he saw him come in for ten minutes 3 or 4 years ago. Until the return, obviously, nothing to hope for. Everyone seems to opt for the sacred union, even the supporters of the CUP, who encouraged the players throughout and still applauded them when they came to greet them after the defeat.
The supporters for the moment united
Among them, like, Messi and Neymar, who publicly made fun of them since they were whistled in the match following the defeat at the Bernabeu. The two stars did not seem to be having an exceptional time, but, finally, they wanted to participate in their own way in this facade reconciliation, while waiting to see what Munich will reserve for each other. “After Monaco, there was a lot of anger, but this evening our supporters were present for the duration of the match, welcomed Galtier. It was the least we could do for our players to thank them because we will need them, there are still great things to look for this season. “Three more weeks and we will know whether to permanently reboot PSG.
