No offense to the Japanese public but they will not see Neymar return to competition. Tuesday during the last match of PSG in the land of the Rising Sun, the Brazilian has still not come into play. The victory, either, did not come alongside Paris, preferring the Inter camp Milan, able to snatch victory (2-1) in the last ten minutes.
What you must remember
Paris has still not won since the start of its tour in Japan. After the draw against Al-Nassr (0-0) at the start of the tour, then the defeat conceded to Cerezo Osaka (3-2), PSG lost again this Tuesday evening in Tokyo. Everything went off without a hitch, or almost, even in the money-time. Before entering the last ten minutes of play, Paris had certainly not raised the crowds. But in this 4-3-3 that Luis Enrique seems to want to install, his players had at least dominated the first period, creating the best opportunities, especially on Asensio’s header and shot returned by Stankovic’s post. Back from the locker room, the Parisians will not have been much more creative but Vitinha, eccentric on the right side of the offensive line, had the good idea to place a nice shot in the right corner of the Milan goalkeeper. A first victory finally in Asia undoubtedly thought there the new coach of PSG. But Paris sank in a minute, conceding two goals in quick succession. First with a cross shot from inside the right of Sebastiano Esposito (82nd), then via Stefano Sensi who came to line up Gianluigi Donnarumma at close range (83rd).
The player
Christophe Galtier had launched him into the bath last season, by making the youngest player in the history of PSG to appear in Ligue 1, to start a league match, then to start in a knockout match of Champions League. At 17, Warren Zaire-Emery is on track to continue his momentum. The young midfielder indeed already seems to be a player who counts in Luis Enrique’s plans since he can be satisfied with having started the four preparation matches played since the arrival of the Spanish coach. And his performance against Inter Milan proves him rather right, the Titi having been one of the satisfactions of the meeting. Placed alongside Manuel Ugarte in front of the defense, he was the first to bring the ball up, bringing impact, explosiveness in the raises and often perforating the axis of Inter to bring danger and overcrowding. in the attack zone.
The number
50139. This time again they will not have filled up. But this Tuesday evening, at the National Stadium of Japan, the PSG players doubled the stake compared to their first outing in Osaka. For their only performance in Tokyo, the troops of Luis Enrique, although opposed to the vice European champion of Inter Milan, did not do as well as the poster between Manchester City and Bayern Munich. The Anglo-German duel indeed attracted 65,049 spectators, thereby setting the stadium record for a football match. PSG and Inter had to “be satisfied” with an attendance of 50,139 spectators. Good news, however, compared to the crowds in Osaka where the Parisians had played in front of 25,432 spectators in front of Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr (0-0) and under the eyes of 32,430 people against Cerezo Osaka (defeat (3-2)).
