On July 31, they will land in Israel: the constellation of Paris Saint-Germain will play in Israel, as part of the French Super Cup against Nantes. The world super team finished last season disappointed – it did gallop to a lightweight championship in France, but was relegated from the Champions League already in the round of 16 (against Real Madrid), and also lost the French Cup in the round of 16, after being relegated against Nice.
The high aspirations caused a significant change – on the lines. Mauricio Pochettino, who arrived in January 2021 in place of Thomas Tuchel, parted ways at the end of a season and a half that did not match the high ambitions. He has been replaced by Christophe Galette, who may be less brilliant, but someone who is definitely experienced in French football (22 years as coach of the Premier League, teams like Saint-Etienne, Lille and Venice) – and even won the Ligue 1 championship last season (2020/21) At the expense of the Parisians. By the way, he did not coach Lille, who won the French Super Cup here in Tel Aviv (he was replaced by Joslan Gubrank, and moved to coach Nice).
So what is the change that Galatia is bringing? It’s too early to test until we see it up close, but in France they have already announced the lineup that Galatia has started practicing in the team’s training. At least according to the “RMC”, and according to the lineup in the last game of the Parisians, Galatia changed lineup – instead of the 4-2-3-1 that “Poch” used to play with, he will come up with three brakes (Sergio Ramos, Personnel Kimpamba And Marcinius), and will send forward the two defenders who will play as extremists – Ashraf Hakimi on the right, Nono Mendes on the left.
The center of the field will be managed by two – Idrissa Gay and Vitinia, the new acquisition that came from Porto for 41.5 million euros. Leo Messi will play the “10”, ie the offensive midfielder, under the two strikers – Neymar and Killian Ambape. It is important to note that at least one of this “trio”, Ambape, will not play in the Super Cup as he carries a distance with him. It is still unclear what the staff will look like until the game, which will take place in 12 days, but at least for now – you can imagine and wait for the hot game we will have in Bloomfield.
