Rennes - PSG: Paris has seen red again

2021-05-12T23:43:39.873Z


After Idrissa Gueye and Angel Di Maria against Manchester City, PSG again finished at ten Sunday night in Rennes and showed that he was in


The week will therefore have been terrible for Paris.

In his sports record, of course.

But also in the image that the club returned.

If she confirmed, at the worst time of the season, that PSG no longer knew how to win these crucial meetings, she also underlined the fact that the Parisian club did not know how to lose them either, if we consider that the draw conceded at Roazhon Park had the nasty taste of defeat.

Sunday evening in Rennes, Paris has indeed fallen back into its pitfalls, has prolonged this dirty habit which now sticks to its skin of losing its nerves when the contrary winds blur the horizon.

Yesterday, it was Presnel Kimpembe who pulled the pin.

We were playing the 87th minute of play, Paris was mistreated, undoubtedly disturbed by the helplessness of his people and the vision of this title that was slipping away, the Titi lost his lucidity and placed a delayed tackle on Doku along the sideline.

An impressive and unfounded intervention that immediately earned him a red card from Mr. Buquet.

The episode could have ended there.

But the violence of the gesture blew up the Rennes sidelines with whom the Parisian defender exchanged a few words in an electric atmosphere.

Pochettino did not like

"In the action we see frustration with the result at that time," explained Mauricio Pochettino after the match. Things have been said from the opposing bench. Regarding the motivation of the players, we know our responsibilities, we know the importance of the next matches, we know what is expected of us in a club like PSG. There is always disappointment. "

If everything ended up being settled quickly enough, that Kimpembe ended up arm in arm in the locker room with a Breton player, the episode nevertheless reflects the propensity of Parisian players to lose their nerves.

If Kylian Mbappé was in the stand last night, it is (beyond his calf injury) indeed to an accumulation of boxes that he owed it.

For the second time this season.

If Ander Herrera and Verratti - since injured - will miss the Cup meeting on Wednesday, they also owe it to their lack of control.

The same goes for Neymar, who has missed 13 games already, since his arrival in Paris at the end of 2017 due to suspension. A lack of control suffered by Idrissa Gueye and Angel Di Maria in the double confrontation against Manchester. If nothing happened during the victory against Lens on May 1, Paris has nevertheless received three cards in its last four games. Too much, far too much, for a team that is supposed to remain united to meet all the challenges.
