Women’s PSG continues to string together victories, with a new 1-0 success against promoted Nantes. Four games, four victories, but despite the positive results, it becomes difficult to hide the weaknesses of a game which sorely lacks substance. Grace Geyoro has once again saved her team, but behind this goal, there is emptiness.
The match against Nantes highlighted a non-existent game plan. Sakina Karchaoui did not have the explosive impact that we expected of her, Romée Leuchter did not find real opportunities to shine, and above all, Maimouna Samoura completely missed her match. Lacking precision and initiative, she never seemed on pace, and her performance reflected the team’s overall lack of inspiration. We expected more from her, but like many of her teammates, the performance was insufficient.
What is worrying is this excitement in the face of a team that is just discovering the elite. A promotion should have been swept away by Parisian talent, but on the contrary, Nantes showed more heart, which almost cost PSG dearly. What’s scary is that despite the accumulation of talent on the field, we don’t recognize this team which once made its opponents tremble.
The light came from Grace Geyoro, once again indispensable. But it is urgent that the collective wakes up. The players are not aligned in their natural positions, and this is felt at every moment of the match. The result is there, but for the manner, we will have to watch the match once again.
The supporters are starting to get impatient. With this kind of performance, the season promises to be long, very long, and faced with more formidable opponents, this PSG risks suffering. Individual quality is undeniable, but it is team cohesion that is lacking. The Parisiennes will have to quickly recover if they want to be competitive.
