It’s not yet a question of the force awakening, just perhaps of history in progress, which is being written before our eyes. But the slap in the face of Newcastle is swept away, the thesis of the accident validated, and Paris can resume its construction by starting again. Here is even Luis Enrique’s team at the top of its group thanks to its victory against AC Milan and the defeat of the English at home against Dortmund (0-1).
The Spanish coach has a nose, in any case a perfect feeling, we can trust him. He announced that he had good feelings and perceived positive signals emanating from his group. Which did not prove him wrong, despite imperfect content. But these dross make PSG’s season exciting as the club adds an additional element of its construction with each outing. Against the Italians, he was able to resist himself and then his opponent at the end of the match, when he led by two goals. We could almost call it maturity or the beginning of a temperament, of a character. Strong !
Beware of the penalty for smoke bombs
The first act in fact offered a remastered version of the world turned upside down. If Paris had possession, its immense technical waste condemned it to a stringy game. On the contrary, AC Milan brought impact, speed, played second balls admirably with the size of Olivier Giroud to put the Parisian defense to torture. But three games later, the Italians remain silent as carp in Europe with zero goals on the clock. An enveloping strike from Rafael Leão will send a shiver of fear to the PSG supporters, overdosing on smoke bombs at kick-off, in a colorful fireworks session after half-time. This smells like a sanction, soon, when UEFA examines all this.
But his technical and athletic domination, Stefano Pioli’s men did nothing and on a touch from Lucas Hernandez and a few circulations on the width, the twirling Warren Zaire-Emery snatched two jersey pulls to break the lines and serve in depth Kylian Mbappé, who enhanced the Titi show by scoring with a closed foot (1-0, 32nd).
Zaire-Emery, a fire of talent
From the captain of the Espoirs to that of the A, a red and blue goal but also very blue. In the ranking of the best players trained at PSG, the 17-year-old kid climbs places like some athletes climb the steps four by four. Zaire-Emery is a fire of talent and happiness.
The second half is often called the “coach’s half” because it occurs after the coach’s adjustments and adjustments in the locker room when the first did not produce the expected content. And the one against Milan will show that Luis Enrique’s speech weighs, with a lot of corrections in the game while keeping the same men. More biting, fairer, the Parisians have regained verticality and width by calling more on Ousmane Dembélé, overwhelmed until then.
The evening when the world champion thought he scored his first goal in the colors of PSG, it was logically canceled for a prior charge from Manuel Ugarte. But it was a blocked strike from Dembouz a few minutes later, which led to the second goal of the match, a point-blank rebound from Randal Kolo Muani (2-0, 53rd). Strangely less intrinsically strong than the former Barcelona player, the former Nantes player already has three goals with Paris, in the two competitions he plays. Paradoxical and talented, PSG continues to move forward and that is the main thing.
