Lorient-PSG (3-2): the Parisians scuttled in Brittany

2021-01-31T16:40:45.235Z


Incredible defeat for PSG this Sunday in Lorient (3-2), the first for coach Mauricio Pochettino. Deserved for the Merlus as much the Parisi


The term "feel" may be too weak.

Yes, this Sunday afternoon, Mauricio Pochettino's PSG lost in Lorient (3-2), 19th in Ligue 1 at kickoff, after a surreal meeting.

Led, Neymar's teammates had managed to reverse the situation thanks to the realism of the Brazilian on penalty.

Completely absent in the engagement and the game, they suffered the law of Lorient at the end of the match, leaving the Bretons, in turn, to reverse the score.

Paris gives up its place as leader of Ligue 1 in Lyon, while awaiting the result of Lille, which plays at the same time against Dijon.

From the start of this meeting, the attitude of the Parisians seemed to indicate a possible catastrophe.

Apathetic despite the presence of a flashy offensive quartet (Mbappé, Neymar, Di Maria, Icardi), the finalists of the last Champions League were surprised by their lack of energy and ambition against a team from Lorient united and united.

Dante climatic conditions and recent workloads, heavy in training, can partly explain the Parisian performance.

Despite everything, this fifth loss of the season in the league, the first for Pochettino, is worrying.

Already five defeats in Ligue 1 this season

It is impossible to imagine that eighteen places separated Lorient from PSG at kick-off.

In the first period, Sergio Rico was the goalkeeper most in demand (8th, 24th, 45th).

He accompanies the strike in the top corner of Abergel (36th) with his eyes, which opens the scoring and rewards the good performance in Lorient.

Paris remains Paris.

Neymar's accelerations, even occasional, endanger any defense.

The unfortunate Mendes did not keep pace and concedes two faults in his area.

Two penalties perfectly transformed by the former Barça (45th, 58th) to give the advantage to his team.

What could happen to Paris then?

A scuttling.

The entries of Moffi and Wissa, very active, posed enormous concerns to the Parisian defense (Kehrer, Kimpembe, Danilo…).

The equalizer signed Wissa (80th) is superb.

Moffi's last counterattack, which concludes alone against Rico (90th), symbolizes Parisian mismanagement at the end of the match.

Between the two goals, Icardi, Mbappé or Kurzawa had the ball 3-2.

But it is indeed Paris which tilts.

The last time PSG lost so many matches in Ligue 1, they also let the title slip away.

Lille and Lyon did not ask for so much.
