Paris Saint-Germain traveled to face Auxerre this Friday to open the 14th day of Ligue 1 (0-0 video summary here). On the sidelines of the meeting, the famous sports statistics site, OptaJean, mentioned an incredible statistic. PSG had 11 shots on target without scoring, this is the first time that a team has had this sad record sincechoose collects statistics (2006/2007).
A sad fact in a difficult period for Paris Saint-Germain which continues to lose confidence. In front of goal, it's terrible what's been happening in recent matches. Nothing fits, but we can also blame the players who rarely looked for exceptional areas of the goal.
The goalkeeper shone, but the Parisians served him this perfect match on a platter. The confidence is gone, no one remembers how to score and how to “be clinical”.
The advantage with this is that very quickly, everything can be unlocked. Where many observers make fairly simplistic analyses, PSG can also very quickly reverse the trend. Of course, the more time passes, the more doubt sets in.
It is therefore urgent to put in a great performance against Salzburg on Tuesday, a team well within the reach of the Parisian club. There will be opportunities, we will have to score, to have hope, but also to reverse the negative spiral.
