Paris Saint-Germain did not convince against Rennes and three days before challenging Real Madrid, the choices of Mauricio Pochettino still question, in particular Pierre Ménès.
PSG host Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, and the good news for Paris Saint-Germain is that no players were injured in Ligue 1 against Rennes, the capital club’s last official outing before that. long-awaited meeting. For the rest, it was once again Kylian Mbappé who allowed Mauricio Pochettino’s team to win in the very last seconds of the match against Bruno Genesio’s team. The French striker has saved his team more than once and this is the case once again. For Pierre Ménès, who watched the PSG-Rennes match, it is still totally surreal to note that the Argentinian coach does not retain any lessons from previous meetings, and in particular from the rather convincing victory of Paris last Sunday in Lille. The former consultant notably evokes the case of Lionel Messi, who had shown great things against LOSC and who fell into almost anonymity against Rennes. And Pierre Ménès to try to understand.
Pierre Ménès ready to replace Pochettino at PSG
At this stage of the season, Pierre Ménès admits however that he has a totally different vision of Mauricio Pochettino and offers some ideas to the latter. ” I thought Pochettino understood after Lille that Messi was better in a more advanced position… But no, not at all. He made him play again in a leading position, sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, sometimes in the axis… In short, in a position where he clearly no longer has the physique to dominate the game. At his age and with his talent in front of goal, he would be much more useful to PSG to play the carrot in front. But hey, I’m not the PSG coach… The entry of Di Maria has boosted the whole thing a bit, without us being sure that it’s not a coincidence, moreover, given his performance, notes the journalist, who points out that once again it is Kylian Mbappé who avoided asking angry questions about his coach. EThere you go, as always this season, Mbappé saved Paris again in the last moments. He had already found the post in the first period and scored a goal disallowed for a hairy calf ant… In short, nothing new: PSG won thanks to Mbappé but we are still at a standstill in terms of the game. »
