This is the best of the ills of which Paris Saint-Germain could be accused, in this autumn where one criticizes the club of the capital to buy its titles, to circumvent the European regulations or to practice the ethnic fichage: that is Paris become vicious. It is Jürgen Klopp who has complained about it, so well integrated in England that he takes it to give lessons of fair play. The Parisians, grumbled the Liverpool coach, have spent their time on the ground. Especially Neymar, he added. "It was not cool"said the German under his cap, before acknowledging: "But it was clever. "
Clever, and especially unexpected, from a club whose lack of experience was one of the major shortcomings at European level, of not knowing how to score when it was necessary, including rolling over more than reason. It missed him in Chelsea, in the quarterfinals of the Champions League 2014. And of course in Barcelona, in 2017, during the unforgettable "remontada".
Given the end of the game unbreathable Reds, as harmless as they were, were only one header on corner to equalize, we can venture to write that with Daniel Alves and Neymar in his ranks Paris would not have taken three goals in ten minutes in Barcelona. The small time gains of the experienced Daniel Alves, the provocations ball with the foot and the jeremiads of Neymar had their part in the victory Paris.
Buffon: "I did not imagine that Paris could be like that"
This is not the most glorious new ingredient that PSG has put in this game. Paris especially played and defended in the second half, with an intensity and solidarity never seen this season. It had missed him in Liverpool and against Naples, where Thomas Tuchel's team had behaved as if they were facing their Ligue 1 vbadals.
"When I played Juve, I did not imagine that Paris could be a team like thatsmiled the neo-Parisian Gianluigi Buffon. With this state of mind, we can go very far. "
The furious celebration of Marquinhos and Thiago Silva for a defensive rescue will remain as the symbol of the Parisian determination, but the signs were everywhere, Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, this rage that has often missed the PSG in the European Cup. Thus innumerable harangues of Neymar addressed to the public of the Park, which one ended to wonder if they were not, also, conditions inscribed in his premium of ethics; Thilo Kehrer's angry fists after his interventions; or Daniel Alves, Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting and even Adrien Rabiot, once again full of envy, yet once again replacing and whistling by the Parc des Princes when it came into play.
Mbappé: "We gave our body to science"
"We played with an incredible mentality, and it was necessary to show that we can play and fight against Liverpoolsaid Thomas Tuchel, insisting on the involvement of his players, even limiting the scope of his tactical pay choices. The attitude was amazing but it was the last opportunity to show that we are able to play as a team. (…) Everyone was ready to suffer for others, it was really the mentality necessary to face Liverpool. "
"In the locker room, the players were dead but that's important, because after that they're proud. It was important to do this experience together to create a special atmosphere in the coming weeks. "
There was certainly something a little odd to see this collective be amazed at how well they did their job with the necessary involvement. But it's never too late to discover the limits of his body, like Kylian Mbappé, hit on the shoulder, poorly inspired Wednesday but happy to have proven "It's part of (their) temperament".
"It has been shown that, in the absence of sometimes doing a very good game, we were men and we could go to battle, and we gave our body science for PSG. "
They have two weeks left to recover: the Parisians will be greeted by forks in Belgrade, where we do not digest the accusations of match rigging during the confrontation at the Parc des Princes.
