Tops
Mbappé, as usual
Kylian Mbappé holds a resplendent form.
After a period of doubt at the start of 2021, the Frenchman is once again
this “killer” of surfaces
.
In Brest, he scored his 6th and 7th goals in his last 3 matches on a clear left strike, then a recovery from the chest.
Always as dangerous by his calls on the left, he was useful for the quality of his technical relays and could even have scored another goal without a found post (35th) and a knocked down strike (54th).
Verratti, precious return
Returning from injury, Marco Verratti has done some good in the Parisian environment.
Constantly exercising constant pressing, the Italian recovered some good balls, one of which allowed him to launch Mbappé on the first Parisian goal.
Always as impactful, he benefits from his higher positioning to successfully support his attackers.
With, as proof, his second decisive pass for Mbappé on a high-level sequence in the area.
Sarabia, again
Pablo Sarabia is also on the way back to form.
Barely to exist in this PSG since the start of the season, the Spaniard has just scored two goals in two matches.
After his achievement in Bordeaux on Wednesday (0-1), he was again decisive by scoring the 2nd Parisian goal in Brest on a precise left shot.
One more solution for Pochettino in an offensive sector sometimes weakened by the absences of Neymar or Di Maria.
Flops
Brest, a playful but naïve team
The team of Dall'Oglio has the merit of playing football.
But it also opens spaces
that have benefited PSG this Saturday night
.
A Brest team which therefore lacked rigor and discipline and was surprised on several high opposing recoveries, including two which led to the first two Parisian goals.
If they woke up after the break, the premises lacked sharpness in the last opposing meters.
Cardona, a little isolated
Scorer last Wednesday against Dijon, Irvin Cardona experienced more difficulties at the forefront of the Brest attack.
Sometimes poorly supported, he however did not know how to keep the balls and found himself a little tender against the athletic hinge in front composed of Diallo and Danilo.
Fadiga, in great difficulty
Loaned by PSG, the Brest midfielder Bandiougou Fadiga did not breathe serenity.
His loss of the ball early in the game was thus at the origin of the opening of the Parisian score.
And he did not really raise his head afterwards by losing a few duels and dangerous balls in the midfield, in addition to missing a great opportunity against Rico (58th).
