A few days before the clash between PSG and Toulouse, Friday at 9 p.m. at the Parc des Princes, the TFC coach, Carlos Martinez Novelllooks at the Parisian fault lines. During his last visit to the Park, his team achieved the feat of beating PSG, just crowned champions, with a score of 3-1. Today, although the situation is different and PSG leads the championship, Novell is convinced that Luis Enrique's group shows weak points, notably observed during the last ten minutes of the recent PSG-Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, where Paris lost 1-2.
With 15 international players returning late from selection, the Spanish coach knows that the situation will be complicated for him too, but is confident: “This situation will be new for me, because we are one of the teams with the most international players. They will almost all come back on Wednesday or Thursday and from Friday, we go to Paris. For PSG, it's “normal “. As for me, I'm going to work on this meeting by saying a little “go out and enjoy!” he declares in comments relayed by the TFC supporters site Les Violets.
Novell and his staff are therefore actively preparing for this meeting, focusing on the end of the match against Atlético, where the Parisians conceded a decisive goal after trying to force victory. “The last ten minutes of PSG-Atlético Madrid are a real axis for us. After equalizing, Paris pushed to try to win and, ultimately, they took the goal at 1-2” he added.
This match promises to be intense, with a Toulouse team ready to exploit the slightest flaw in a PSG perhaps weakened by international fatigue.
