Women's D 1: Dijon-PSG, beware of the trap match for the Parisiennes

2020-10-03T17:26:47.965Z


Relaunched by their last success (4-0) against Reims, the Parisiennes move to one of the surprise teams at the start of the season.


There was no exploit on Friday evening at Fleury-Mérogis.

After holding Lyon in check for 70 minutes, the Essonne team ended up losing 3-0.

A result that does not do the business of PSG, relegated to five lengths of OL before their match in Dijon Sunday (3 p.m., live on Canal + Sport) at the end of the 5th day.

Relaunched by their success (4-0) against Reims, after their draw (0-0) in Bordeaux, the Parisiennes no longer have the right to make mistakes on the synthetic pitch of one of the teams surprised at the start of this season. season, which remains on two successes against Issy (3-1) and Guingamp (2-1).

Here are three things to know about this duel.

Grace Geyoro back

Victim of a crack in a tibia a month before the resumption of the championship against Guingamp (4-1) and therefore absent during the Blue games in Serbia (2-0) and North Macedonia (7-0) for the qualifications for Euro 2022, Grace Geyoro returns to the group.

It remains to be seen whether his coach will take the risk of aligning him from the start in the midfield.

"We were extremely careful with the girls who came back from selection before Reims," ​​Olivier Echouafni said on Friday.

We have been resuming a lot of weeks already, and some are starting to get tough.

Swiss striker Ramona Bachmann, who felt discomfort in a thigh, is uncertain about this trip.

No reunion for Léa Khelifi

Loaned by PSG in Dijon for a season, without a purchase option, Léa Khelifi will not cross paths with her former partners.

As Olivier Echouafni revealed after the success of the Reims tale, the Parisian club had “verbal agreement” from its Burgundian counterpart so that the 21-year-old offensive midfielder does not play the match.

Two years ago, PSG was hooked (1-1) by Lille because of a goal from Lina Boussaha, loaned to Losc.

"Logically, she should not play because we made a deal with Dijon, which will be respected I think", confirmed the Parisian coach before justifying the loan of the player and the departure of Karina Sævik for Wolfsburg.

“They didn't have a lot of playing time in Paris and they needed to get back to competition.

There is strong competition in Paris.

They will have plenty of time to show their qualities in their respective clubs.

"

Kadidiatou Diani can do even better

With 5 goals, a hat-trick against Guingamp and a double against Reims, Kadidiatou Diani has been walking on the water with PSG since the start of the championship.

The 25-year-old striker, close to signing for Lyon in May before extending 3 years in Paris, "becomes complete", as her coach welcomes.

"She is able to score in all positions and all parts of the body, with the right foot, the left and now the head," explains Olivier Echouafni.

Which, however, is still a little unsatisfied.

“Scoring is a good thing for confidence.

She must manage to keep this regularity.

Paradoxically, his performances are not what I would like, he admits.

She is capable of doing even better, of doing more, in every way.

I would like her to be even more complete in the game, in her deep ball calls.

She must also play on her athleticism and make sure that she is found even better.
