PSG / Liverpool Press Review

Seen and read about PSG this Wednesday, November 28, 2018 in the hexagonal press.

"In case of defeat against Liverpool and victory of Naples against the Red Star, Paris would say goodbye to his dreams of C1, writesAFP. Double or quits. PSG must prove that it can finally compete with a big European tonight against Liverpool in the Champions League, on pain of a catastrophic elimination for the French club, already shaken by the revelations of Football Leaks. Such a scenario would be synonymous with industrial disaster for Qatari owners, who have spent more than 400M € to recruit the Brazilian superstar Neymar and Kylian Mbappé in the summer of 2017. On the other hand, a success against the outgoing European vice-champion would open the way to the round of 16. "

For PSG, "it's now or never"title Le Figaro. "Catastrophe, disaster, cataclysm … This is what awaits Paris Saint-Germain in case of elimination in the group stage of the Champions League. […] It remains to be seen whether Paris will count on all its strengths. Hit with their respective national team on Tuesday of last week, Neymar and Mbappé will be good for the service and even holders. For the rest, no major worry. In goal, Buffon will be aligned. And Marquinhos in the middle of the field?"

"In short, if Paris wants to survive the European autumn, it must prevail for his last C1 home game in 2018, in a Parc des Princes where he only won once during the calendar year in this competition, advanced The Team. Parisians may be on a wire, in an uncomfortable situation, in private, at the dawn of the test, they display optimism and confidence that contrast with what they have seen since the beginning of the season, every time the road went up. […] This PSG obviously has the resources to do this becausehe is preparing to deprive himself of Meunier and Rabiot at kickoff. Between the repositioning of Marquinhos in front of the defense and the tenure of Thilo Kehrer, Tuchel should take risks tonight. The coach would also prepare future management problems. Meunier still has not extended a year and a half from the end of his contract. The thread with Rabiot, it is broken since Tuchel sanctioned him in Marseilles. The two men hardly speak to each other anymore. This decision, even if one must always be careful, will she definitely start at the end of the season? […] Between the reasoning that invites them to cross the Channel to take a point and their natural qualities that push them to attack, the English are seated between two chairs. It's up to Neymar, Mbappé and Cavani to make them stick, to transcend a park that only requires that, to send the Reds down and to shift the balance of power before the last day. "

"The outcome of this meeting will decide which side of the mountain will switch the PSG: the sunny side or the dark side. And from there, it will affect the everyday the main actors of the club, Explain The Parisian. Tuchel seems to have a little idea behind the head returning to a defense to four and positioning Marquinhos as sentinel. One way, this option was not successful. Two months later, have the Parisians really changed? […] If the stakes of the match are huge, Tuchel tried to play down the approach of the meeting with his players. He gave them a Sunday off. The preparation of the match was thus summarized to two training sessions, under the eye of Al-Khelaïfi. It will be prolonged by a short muscular awakening this morning. Tuchel did not even program a green setting. Tuchel's anticipated gambling system was probably inspired by the sharp video study of the English game. […] The level of the competition is not the same, but Tuchel did not wish, unlike Emery, that players be "conditioned". The club went so far as to distribute leaflets "Together we will do it". The CUP has launched a call on social networks for maximum mobilization. Far, all the same, from the riotous energy of the spring, when he had come to set a green light on Rueil-Malmaison. "
