A turning point. PSG’s victory against Roma (2-1) last Thursday during the 3rd day of the group stage of the Champions League completely reshuffled the cards in Group C. If the capital club still occupies the last place, it is no longer two lengths behind Bayern Munich and only one behind Ajax Amsterdam and the Italians.
A second success in six days this Wednesday (6:45 p.m., DAZN) against Roma would put them in one of the first two qualifying places for the quarter-finals before the last two days at the end of January. “We have to transform the try!” insisted coach Jocelyn Prêcheur at a press conference. We are on a good dynamic. We don’t enter the field to draw, we play this match to win it. We know the quality of our opponent. This will be a difficult part. It will take a very good PSG to bring back a positive result from Italy. This is crucial for the continuation of our European campaign. » “You have to have the right mentality to win this match. We have to be ready! », Supports American midfielder Korbin Albert.
Between these two meetings, the Parisiennes won at the Charléty stadium last Sunday against Paris FC (1-2) in D1 Arkema. A great operation which allows them to come back to within 3 points of their opponent in the standings, with two more matches to go.
Katoto’s beautiful return
Only four of the players who faced AS Roma started the match on Sunday. “We made a big rotation against the PFC,” explains Jocelyn Prêcheur. We preserved as many players as possible and launched others who lacked rhythm. Everything was not perfect tactically but in terms of commitment and desire they responded. This proves that the group is growing and expanding. This leaves me with more options. »
Attackers Ramona Bachmann (hamstring) and Manssita Traoré (illness) are out, as are Laurina Faser and Ana Vitoria. Victim of a tackle on the tibia fibula, Sandy Baltimore is uncertain but the tests carried out this Tuesday are rather positive regarding her participation in the match. Marie-Antoinette Katoto, author of 4 goals in the last 6 matches, will be the number one asset up front. “She is rewarded for the work she did to come back as quickly as possible,” remarks Prêcheur. Its evolution is faster than we could have hoped. She scores and is influential with her assists. I am happy. »
