This Saturday at 9 p.m. (broadcast on DAZN) Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Angers (15th) at the Stade Raymond Kopa as part of the 11th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025. At a press conference, Alexandre Dujeux, Angevin coach, spoke about this meeting and the Parisian opponent. Which has been widely criticized since Wednesday and the 1-2 defeat against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League. Except that he goes against this position, before indicating how his team should approach this meeting.
Dujeux « It remains a difficult team to read. »
“PSG's defeat against Atlético?
Football is cruel because based on the content of the match, Paris deserved to win. They had a lot of shots, possession. They certainly lack a lot of efficiency.
I find them very good, they develop a lot of things, and they remain a difficult team to read, there are a lot of movements. This is a promising team. What is put in place is still remarkable. I also think it's still a step above (Monaco), they dominate the Championship head and shoulders. Paris, I think, will be champion in the end.
Dujeux « you shouldn't forbid yourself anything. »
How to achieve a big success?
You have to believe in yourself, play the match fully. We will have to suffer together, and be prepared for that. It's normally unbalanced. But you shouldn't forbid yourself anything. Afterwards, when faced with a team of this level, you have to have a form of intelligence regarding the situation.“, remarks relayed by The Team.
Once again, an opposing coach or player highlights the qualities of PSG while the media and certain supporters dramatize everything. It lacked efficiency, almost everything had to be thrown away and done differently, the tactics were wrong, etc.
We therefore thank Dujeux for bringing a little analysis and perspective, even if we know that his comments will be less listened to than the “specialists” in the newspapers and radios. Paris is nevertheless very impressive in the game. There are now points to correct to really progress in the Champions League. But the basis is very interesting.
It will be a big challenge for Angers to face it and take a point. Even if rotation is to be expected on the PSG side. But Dujeux is not going to let this happen either. You have to put on a beautiful face and fight to at least be able to believe it. And maybe achieve a feat. There is confidence after the victory in Monaco, the coach still knows that it will be a very different match.
