Nice-PSG: Paris is round the back

2020-09-19T15:58:52.566Z


Still deprived of many players, Paris Saint-Germain finds Mbappé to face Sunday Nice, where the French champion wants to confi


The world, it seems, belongs to those who get up early.

This is well suited to the conquering ambitions of a Paris Saint-Germain which will present itself in a deserted Allianz Riviera, at a time when the flageolets and leg of the Sunday lunch will still simmer.

A kickoff, this Sunday, September 20 at 1 p.m., chosen to align with Asian time zones, in a part of the world where French football has been trying for several years to expand its audience and its markets.

The stormy end of the match against Marseille (0-1) last Sunday somewhat spoiled a private poster for Neymar, who will serve his second suspension match.

To console themselves, viewers will be entitled to the return of Kylian Mbappé, released, in extremis, from his period of isolation with the good graces of the Covid commission.

A welcome reinforcement for vice-champions of Europe who drag their offensive difficulty since the final of the Champions League.

The victorious header of Julian Draxler in stoppage time against Metz (1-0) on Wednesday ended more than 400 minutes without scoring a goal.

An anomaly for Parisians who, last season, had scored in 58 of their 60 games.

What once again limit the choices of Thomas Tuchel.

"The important thing now is to recover well, because we cannot lose new players and we do not have many replacement possibilities," admits the German coach.

Overuse is always the risk, we may have done it with Thilo Kehrer.

We still do a little tactics, video.

But we cannot put in place new tactical solutions, this is not the time ”.
