Seen and read about PSG in the French press this Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The Champions League match against Bayern Munich, Bradley Barcola must raise his level in C1, the last step for Presnel Kimpembe before his return to competition…
In today's edition, The Team
devotes part of its front page to the shock of Champions League between the Bayern Munich and the PSG this Tuesday evening (9 p.m. Canal Plus Foot). To hope to relaunch in this general ranking of C1Parisians must avoid further disillusionment. 25th in the standings, the Rouge & Bleu are currently out of the qualifying places for the play-offs. Faced with a formidable opponent but who is not yet running at full speed this season, this meeting can be a revelation for the players of
Luis Enrique. “This new
PSG is based on two bets. At club level, focus on the development of young profiles (Neves, On it,
Gifted…) whose limits still remain unknown, like the trajectory of Bradley Barcola
for fifteen months. At the level of your coach, believe that a collective and a straightjacket can be more efficient than individuals, however gifted they may be. Before, during the time of its old regime and its crowned heads, we knew that
Paris had crazy talent and the question was whether he would be able to fully exploit it on the pitch, together. Today, we can clearly see that he has become a team player, but we wonder if he has the sufficient skills to continue to dream bigger. » It is now time for this group to grow and above all to adjust the focus in finishing. That's six matches Champions League that a Parisian striker no longer found the net. The perfect opportunity for this team to finally release its benchmark match on the European scene.
“A double-edged ordeal by fire, which could relaunch the PSG in his continental quest or confirm that he no longer operates in the same spheres as the favorites. »
The sports daily also discusses the situation of
Bradley Barcola. Top scorer of
Ligue 1number 29 of PSG
struggles to show his qualities in Champions Leaguewith only one goal in 14 matches played. In this competition, the French international must still take a step forward in a team with the greatest gap between the situations created (7.19 xG) and its effectiveness (3 goals in
C1). But the 22-year-old striker cannot put himself in a goal-scoring situation. LdCcompared to the
Ligue 1 (0.8xG par match one C1
against 0.16xG in L1). More difficult to find on the pitch due to tighter marking, the season's top scorer must also bring variety to his game. But above all he must find efficiency in this type of competition where clear chances are becoming rare. If Vitinha
et Luis Enrique calmed things down at a press conference on the Frenchman's lack of statistics in C1,
“it is difficult not to think that the
PSG needs a Stagger scorer, too, so that his European season does not end in January. »
In The Teamthere is also talk of the return of Presnel Kimpembe in the group of PSG. A first for the Parisian defender in 18 months. This Monday, late in the morning, Titi took the plane with the Parisian delegation to go to Munich. “The last step before a return that the player hopes will be permanent. » It is almost certain that the 2018 World champion will not have any playing time this Tuesday evening at
l’Allianz Arenamore Luis Enrique still wanted to bring his vice-captain for this important meeting of Champions League. The 29-year-old defender is particularly capable of bringing his experience to bear. For several weeks, Presnel Kimpembe
found the time long, he who has resumed collective sessions regularly since last month. “He never gave up. Even when he mentioned a relapse at the start of the season, he was affected but he always kept the same state of mind. He said: 'That's life, there are worse people than me, I'm going to fight and I'm going to come back.' It’s not for nothing that we’ve called it La Force since we were little”explained Dida Diafateleven world champion titles in Thai Boxing to his credit, who experienced Kimpembe at eight years old. From now on, the main challenge for the French international will be to find competition and sensations again by the end of the year.
“For the Parisian staff, the return of
Kimpembeassociated with the one to come from Lucas
Hernandezwill offer solutions to strengthen defensive animation, where the hinge composed by Marquinhos
et Willian Pacho has established itself since the start of the season as the No. 1 pair in the minds of Luis Enrique »concludes
THE.
For his part, The Parisian also evokes this match of Champions League between the Bayern Munich and the PSG. With only four points in four matches, the Rouge & Bleu are finally hoping to get back into the competition. “To win Munich
against the Bayernwhich would be a big blow, a huge one even against the undefeated leader of the
Bundesligaeveryone twists in conjectures, finally imagining Bradley Barcola score his second goal in C1, Ousmane Dembélé no longer aim for pigeons, a false 9 which would become a real trigger, or even believe in the miracle return of Gonçalo Ramos
absent from the field since August 16. » The
PSG will also have to contain the Bavarian waves with a Harry Kane already author of 14 goals this season in 11 matches in Germany. Faced with a comparable opponent, the PSG had displayed great difficulties against Arsenalparticularly in the defensive sector. The Parisians will therefore have to first think about defending well and then improve their finishing. “If the affair fails again, Paris will not be eliminated from this first phase but will have to achieve a sort of flawless performance Salzbourgagainst Manchester
City au Princes Park and to
Stuttgart to win these disguised round of 16 matches. To avoid this unbreathable finish, to show that he is growing and learning, the Paris of Luis Enrique must show evidence. »
The Ile-de-France daily also focuses on Bradley
Barcola. If the attacker PSG hovers over the Ligue 1 with 10 achievements, in Champions League the story is different. The French international understands that he has become the danger to watch out for, as he recently explained in an interview: “I’m starting to see it clearly. The teams come with two, even three defenders on my side, it's much more complicated. » Nine months after his first goal in C1, against Royal Society in the round of 16 (2-0), number 29 of the Rouge & Bleu hopes to find the net again. THE
PSG will need its offensive players to resolve its concern for efficiency in the competition. In four LdC matches this season, the players of Luis Enrique shot 84 times on goal for only three small goals. “Barely believable figures which clearly reflect the lack of efficiency and the lack of success of the Parisian attackers when the level rises. »
The former Lyonnais works in the shadows to bring his good dynamic to Champions League. He knows that his performances are watched and that he can face criticism.
” After Newcastlelast year, he felt the need to sit down with his family to review certain things. He has since organized his life to prevent failures from puncturing his bubble of tranquility. By remaining a homebody young man, at first, then by trying to restrict his closest circle. » After the summer vacation,
Bradley Barcola had decided to be more deadly in front of goal. The French international is no longer putting pressure on himself and has prepared for this match against Bayern Munich with the same rigor, convinced that his efforts will ultimately pay off.
