"Give advice to Paris, me?"
No, I wouldn't allow myself!
“It may well be the last to have managed to beat Bayern Munich, Almamy Touré does not want to pass for a giver of lessons.
Available and all smiles despite his injury to the psoas, the 24-year-old Malian defender has, on the other hand, agreed to reveal the contours of the victory (2-1) won on February 20 with Eintracht Frankfurt against the European champions.
A performance that only Hoffenheim and Mönchengladbach had so far achieved in the Bundesliga this season.
Charge to Kylian Mbappé, his former partner in Monaco, and to the Parisians to be inspired by it on Wednesday evening at the Allianz Arena.
Put them under pressure
“Whatever team we face, the idea is to put the opponent under pressure, to proceed against.
When we played Bayern, they had a lot of games in their legs.
We pressed them in and tried to impose a big rhythm.
They were surprised.
The first half went pretty well for us because I also think they weren't ready for that.
In the second half, however, they came back with other intentions.
They picked up the pace, started the machine and it was hot.
But we continued to defend well.
It was during the first period that we made the difference.
"
Do not breach
“The most important thing is to be coherent, that the whole team is together and forms a block.
Bayern, it's no secret, are very strong technically.
This first requires being well in place defensively because if everyone goes their own way and opens a breach in the device, they will have no trouble making the shifts.
It's Bayern: if they are in their match and you do not try to reach their level in front of them, you may have analyzed everything, it will not pass.
"
Knowing how to use spaces
“Bayern are one of the best teams in the world, but that does not prevent them from having weaknesses, as the few difficult games they have had to manage this year prove.
It's a team that likes to play and have the ball.
We were fine with that, we have a team of blocks that go super fast.
We gave them the ball, we made a point of defending well in order to be able to project ourselves as soon as we could.
In front of them, you have to know how to use the spaces in the back at the right time.
And go very quickly against.
Paris, who have the technical qualities to keep the ball and compete with Bayern in possession, may very well adopt a different tactic.
But with the speed of Kylian
(Mbappé)
and Kean, I am convinced that Paris can hurt Bayern a lot if they play the punches well.
"
Trying to make them doubt
“Even if they set their pace, they can have doubts if the game does not take the turn they want.
Against us, for example, they thought it would be quieter and the fact that it didn't go the way they wanted destabilized them for a moment.
However, when they restarted the machine, it was more complicated for us.
The best is not to let them gain confidence.
"
Watch out for the left flank
“That side, the left, is clearly Bayern's strong side.
Be careful, there are just as many qualities on the right.
But on the left, they are much more dangerous because it goes faster.
Davies and Coman, they're two monsters, they go at 200 miles an hour.
It means being constantly vigilant, well in place tactically and repeating the efforts.
But as they play high, from the moment you quickly move away from recovery, there is also room to take depth on that side… ”
Do not get complex
“I don't think Bayern is afraid of Paris, but they know on the other hand that they are a dangerous opponent.
Paris has shown that when he is focused, he can play very big games.
Even if it did not get a positive result this weekend, I think Paris has the arguments to be taken seriously.
It all depends on the state of mind they display at the start of the match and their ability to exploit the rifts that will open.
In addition, Lewandowski is injured.
He's a very important part of the Bavarian game, not just a goalscorer.
He multiplies the calls, weighs on the defenses ... Without him, Bayern will not be weakened, but it will be less complete.
It is not to be neglected.
