Who defeats his opponent of fear «DiePresse.com

Paris. There are opponents of fear in all sports. Types or clubs that are hard to beat or can not win. Thomas Tuchel, 45, is fellow countryman Jürgen Klopp, 51 years old.

Of the last thirteen duels of the two former coaches of Mainz and Dortmund, Tuchel won one, in 2010. Unforgettable, it is the wrong 3: 4 of the BVB in Liverpool in April 2016. This Klopp was now his opponent A match that could not lose Paris has given the success of the Champions League in the Parc des Princes.

After 2: 3 at Anfield and two draws against Naples (3-1 against Belgrade), Paris was under pressure. Even the exit threatened. Tuchel therefore offered what PSG had to offer: Buffon, Silva, Marquinhos, Neymar, Cavani, Mbappé. The attacks taking place at full speed, Liverpool was irritated and overwhelmed. Silva (7th) failed, but the second shot went well: Bernat (13th) scored 1: 0.

Neymar then increased to 2: 0 (36), Liverpool was nowhere. Salah, Firmino, Mane, Millner have been unsubscribed. But the "Reds" came back in the match: the mane of Salzburg, who now earns 200,000 pounds a week, was committed by Di Maria in the penalty area. Millner converted to 1: 2 (45th).

The fact that Klopp and Tuchel maintain similar game modes, let them press down on the ball, is remarkable in that they should neutralize themselves. But it was an exciting football match. A side goal by Marquinhos (46) woke everyone up after the restart. Liverpool have found places on the left side (Mané), but there are no more goals – and that keeps the tension in Group C.

Liverpool must now win 2-0 (first leg 0: 1) against Napoli on the last day of the match against Napoli to be even better. Otherwise, last year 's finalist after three defeats away remains only the descent into the Europa League. PSG is on the right track, the promotion opportunity is real in Belgrade. The club, in which Qatar Sports Investments has already injected 1.15 billion euros, is expected to win the first clbad. Tuchel can do it. He defeated his opponent. (END)
