He plays big, and he knows it. Very criticized by the Parisian fanbase, who knows that the success or not of the season will largely be decided on this double confrontation, Mauricio Pochettino was present in front of the journalists on Monday. But for this duel against the people of Madrid, the Argentinian tactician is not the only one who has things to prove and who must show his best face, far from it. If Kylian Mbappé arrives in good shape and has been on an excellent dynamic since the start of the season, the same cannot be said for Lionel Messi and Neymar…
And on the side of Paris, we know very well that the two will have to be at the level to snatch a ticket for the quarter-finals … “We expect Messi to play a good game. As a teammate, I hope to see a great player who will be decisive, efficient. We are going to help him to be confident. We see him more and more at ease. He is calm, he is getting used to France, to PSG ”, for example launched Marquinhos, the captain, who accompanied his coach. The latter informed that “Messi is in good physical condition and he really wants to play”.
Neymar will be there
“Leo is doing well, he can transmit a lot individually, but also collectively. Its role can be fundamental. But the team is doing well in general, everyone is focused., added Pochettino. It must be said that the Pulga was recruited for this kind of match, in order to pass the last milestone that separates PSG from the European grail. Any other result than a qualification with a great Messi at stake will therefore be considered a great disappointment…
And the native of Rosario will be well accompanied. Marquinhos thus mentioned the case of his compatriot at the microphone of RMC Sportshortly before the press conference: “Neymar is ready. He did the training. We will see the choices of the coach to make him play or to leave him on the bench. I don’t know what the choice will be. But he is ready, he wants. It’s a great game against a great team. This is the time when you have to make the effort and he is ready to do it.. The two former executioners of Real Madrid are therefore in good shape. No excuses for the Brazilian-Argentinian duo: it will be necessary to bring back the demons of the past of the band of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric to the surface…
