To fill the void, the idea would be to play at least the two periods, the one before and after half-time. What would change the PSG, winner on alternating current. When he wins. After the defeats against Rennes and Lyon, the club from the capital went back to winning against Nice, Lens and Angers after performances to the taste of the union minimum, which cannot constitute satisfaction, even on the eve of a May 1st.
“I came back to this second period of Angers because after having made the difference, we expected something different and that we show another face, notes Christophe Galtier. We pushed the ball without breaking the lines, or making a lot of effort. You must have a notion of fun on the field. I have players who are on a personal level on stats, goals, I’m thinking of Leo (Messi) and Kylian (Mbappe). These players must be fed by our defenders and our midfielders and, on this point, in Angers, we played very little forward. It wasn’t getting nice. »
A boring PSG since the World Cup
This void will first be in the stands with the closure of Auteuil, which de facto will give a meeting that looks like behind closed doors, the Ultras usually being there. We remember sold-out meetings without the CUP and no one would like to relive that. To use the coach’s words, it was ball-pushing in the silence of a cathedral, or an opera, with polite applause from people who don’t want to disturb.
This will be the first, perhaps even the only, difficulty for Marquinhos’ partners against Lorient, anonymous 11th in L1. PSG has been boring us since the return of the World Cup, but the loyalty and chants of its supporters have been constant and festive, like an opposite layer of the spectacle on the pitch. This time, they won’t be there, not the loudest anyway, and this isn’t the time to send them the message that they haven’t missed anything.
Even if Paris is assured of an eleventh title of champion of France, barring a highly improbable scenario which would see it lose three more matches and that Lens or Marseille win almost everything, offering two nice months of competition would not be too much. The formation of Marco Verratti and others is constantly pushing back the deadline, contenting themselves with piling up the points at the moment.
A few more individual issues
There remain two individual issues, the ranking of scorers and passers, dominated respectively by Kylian Mbappé and Leo Messi. And a collective question that will lead to the transfer window. Luis Campos, before Nice, had warned the group that he would judge on this end of the season the extent of sales according to performance. For the moment, few have saved their heads under the eyes of the sporting director in the light of these three successes even if Sergio Ramos has given himself the means to extend without a debate tearing the Parisian universe apart.
Moreover, nothing more causes controversy, sportingly, in a club overwhelmed by upheavals this season, from the indictment for rape of Achraf Hakimi to the accusations of racism against Christophe Galtier. It seems that the noise has disappeared and this PSG-Lorient will testify to it.
