He serves as the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain and won the league championship last season. This season's championship is basically within his grasp. However, when coaching in Paris, just winning the league championship is not enough. To put it bluntly, it is not enough.
With the strength of the players in Paris, even if there is a dog on the coaching bench, they should win the Ligue 1 championship...
Only performance in the Champions League can prove whether the head coach is qualified.
Southampton is now coming with great momentum. Their previous victory over Chelsea was actually a demonstration. After all, Paris eliminated Chelsea in two rounds with a bit of luck. If not for two equalizers, it would be difficult for them to defeat Chelsea head-on.
Yes, Southampton defeated Chelsea 3-1 in an away game. A simple comparison shows how strong Southampton is.
He also lost Ibrahimovic.
After the Swede moved to Paris, he immediately became the top player in Ligue 1. In the 12-13 season, he scored 30 goals, surpassing the second-leading scorer Aubameyang by 11 goals. In the 13-14 season, he
He scored 26 goals and was the defending top scorer. Behind him were five silver boots who scored 16 goals. He has bid farewell to this season due to injury, but he still played 24 times and scored 19 goals.
The ball and efficiency put many people to shame.
It is indeed a huge loss for Paris that such a top player cannot play.
But Blanc could only bite the bullet at this time.
A standard four-three-three lineup, goalkeeper Sirigu, two full-backs Van der Wiel and Maxwell, the center back is the Brazilian partner Thiago Silva and Marquinhos, both of whom are excellent center backs.
This lineup is very strong in terms of reputation and strength, but in Kiye's opinion, there are flaws everywhere.
The midfielder lacks a truly strong defensive player, which makes them suffer greatly when facing Southampton's passing. The two full-backs are good at offense but not good at defense. The center back is very good, but in the lack of protection and supplementary position
How long can they last?
Although there are many good players in the frontcourt, but again, without Ibrahimovic, they would have no backbone.
You must know that Cavani played as a winger when Ibrahimovic was there...
Although he is also a top center, he is now somewhat uncomfortable with the center position.
"This guy has very strong movement, and it's hard to keep track of his movement, so to deal with him you have to watch the ball. As long as he can't get the ball, he's of no use. And he's very good at wasting opportunities. Let him get it occasionally.
A few isn’t a big deal.”
Suarez revealed the secret of his national team partner to the two central defenders in the locker room, while Font and Otamendi nodded repeatedly.
When anyone sees this scene, they will be full of hope for Southampton's victory.
Of course, Kiya sent most of his main players in this game, goalkeeper Gulacchi, defender Cancelo, Alonso, Otamendi, Font, midfielder Casemiro, Coutinho
, De Bruyne, forward Mane, Suarez, Lukaku.
Amid the loud cheers of tens of thousands of Paris fans, the players from both sides pushed the game into a fever pitch from the very beginning.
Southampton tried to control the ball after the start, while Paris tried to play fast.
Blanc knows very well that although they are technically excellent, it is still difficult to compete with Southampton in possession of the ball.
On the contrary, their frontcourt attackers have excellent speed and skills. If they play fast, they might still have a chance.
After all, whether it is Lucas, Lavezzi, Cavani, or even Pastore behind, every player in this purely South American offensive line has good skills and personal abilities. In the absence of a core,
In the absence of a large number of people, it is really a feasible solution to let them work alone.
Therefore, after the game started, Paris' offense seemed more threatening.
Maxwell's cross from the wing was blocked by Wundt. Then he tried to break into the penalty area, but Wundt blocked the ball. Maxwell fell to the ground, but the referee did not make a penalty. He could clearly see Wundt's actions.
Very clean.
Soon, Paris' attack came back again. Rabiot switched to the wing and passed the ball. Pastore volleyed and shot high.
Lavezzi got the ball from the wing and started to force a breakthrough. Cancelo blocked him. Seeing that he had no chance to break through, Lavezzi passed the ball back, and little Lucas came over.
A direct shot, Gulacchi flew to save and suppressed the ball under his body.
Seeing their side constantly attacking, the Paris fans also cheered loudly. In their opinion, this is a normal thing. Although Paris Saint-Germain seems to have been beaten every year in the Champions League in recent years, in fact
They have always made it to the knockout stages, and they have been undefeated at home in a total of thirty-three European games!
In the past thirty-three home games in Europe, Paris Saint-Germain has won 22 and drawn 11. The last defeat dates back to 2006, when they lost two games at home in the Europa League group stage.
Four losses to Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv.
But at that time, Paris Saint-Germain didn’t have a wealthy father!
Therefore, the Paris fans are still very confident.
However, they forgot one thing. When they strengthen their offense, it means that their defense line is weakened.
Moreover, their offense relies more on personal ability, but it will be easier to deal with personal ability.
The time has reached the eighteenth minute.
There was a mistake during an attack in Paris. Pastore got the ball and was about to break through, but Casemiro, who had been prepared for it, stretched his foot and intercepted the ball.
After stealing the ball, Casemiro quickly passed the ball to De Bruyne. De Bruyne quickly passed the ball forward without stopping. Lukaku ran to the center to get the ball, and then started dribbling the ball straight in.
!
His speed is very fast, and when he has enough space, he becomes even faster - so when he starts to sprint, the entire Paris defense begins to fight back.
However, this kind of return to defense is obviously still a bit slow.
After dribbling the ball close to the 30-meter area, Lukaku sent a through pass. Suarez's running on the other side attracted more attention, but Lukaku pushed the ball straight to the left!
Ma Nei made a timely forward move and formed a single sword.
The next moment, things were simple. After breaking into the penalty area, Mane faced the attacking Siligu and calmly pushed the ball into the near corner. The ball quickly flew into the gate of Paris Saint-Germain!
The voices of the Paris Saint-Germain fans who were cheering just now suddenly stopped.
Mane turned and pointed at Lukaku, Lukaku also ran over, and the two hugged each other.
