Chapter 54: Defeat
The first 20 minutes were all about the Reds, but on 23 minutes there was a turnaround when Verratti delivered a good penalty.
Mbappe chased at full speed, cut straight inside into the penalty area and began to stir up the opposition backline.
Unfortunately, Mbappe's ball was broken by Valencia and Smalling combined.
This offensive will not be over.
Neymar regretted: "Mbappe can cheat. ”
Yi Le shook his head and said: "Verratti's passing route is problematic, he should give Di Maria." ”
Di Maria?
Hearing this, Neymar paused for a moment.
At this point, the playback just happened.
Neymar sees Di Maria's position with Manchester United.
Di Maria, albeit a little further back, has a lot of space in front of him, and United's overall defence is on the right.
This........
Neymar turned his head to look at Yi Le, this guy is really different from himself, and there are completely different decisions in an offensive line.
Moreover, the problem is very accurate, Di Maria's position does not seem to be threatening, but once he soars to speed, he will go straight to Huanglong.
"Do you think we can win this game?" Neymar asked.
Yi Le pursed his lips and said, "I don't know, from the current situation, it's not optimistic." ”
Neymar agrees with this.
Both of them were worried, and at this point, they somewhat regretted their recklessness in the previous game.
If it is because of them that Paris Saint-Germain will not qualify for the group stage, they are really sinners.
......
Paris Saint-Germain played very passively, and Manchester United relied on Mata, Lukaku, and Rashford to constantly attack the Paris Saint-Germain backline.
And a solid Parisian midfielder couldn't control the situation.
Verratti was frequently out of position, Rabiot was sleepwalking, and the midfield was barely supported by Kante's pressing and interception.
But it's not a long-term solution.
After 41 minutes of the first half, United finally won the goal.
Marcus Rashford attacked, Mkhitaryan was clever in the wing, and Juan Mata headed in a cross.
Romelu Lukaku met the ball and volleyed past PSG.
'Kimpembe hesitated, he couldn't contain Mata in the first place, which led to his successful kick, and although he didn't want to admit it, Lukaku scored beautifully. Old Monet worried: "Now we need to face a lot of problems, not only offensively, but defensively, we can't organize an effective defensive belt. ”
At this time, both the old Monet and the Parisian fans missed Yile immensely.
The one who can give them a solid midfield.
They were thinking that if Yile was on the field, they would never play so passively, because Yile would always tell everyone how to play.
Verratti is clearly not up to the task.
After his teammates were lost, Verratti also looked dazed.
Manchester United scored, and Mourinho applauded softly.
He was smiling and clearly pleased with the performance of the players.
......
In the second half, Mourinho changed formation again and counter-attacked 4-3-3.
Jose Mourinho is determined to take the three points.
After taking a one-goal lead, he doesn't have anything to pursue, he just needs to win.
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, was a little anxious, and at the urging of Villas-Boas, they continued to attack Manchester United's backline.
But in the middle of the chaos, the midfield simply could not organize a threatening attack.
They couldn't even get into United's big box.
Mbappe began to become invisible, United defended him closely, Verratti could not support Mbappe, and the young Mbappe could not take on the attacking burden alone.
Little by little, time passed.
The Parc des Princes began to fall silent.
The Parisian fans looked helplessly at the stadium.
Although it is not the first time, every time they are led by the nose at home, they feel like a knife.
If there were no accidents, they would have lost the game.
On 87 minutes, Paris again had a great chance to attack, but Cavani couldn't capitalise on it and scored the equaliser.
De Gea made a brilliant save to save the ball.
93 minutes passed.
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Paris Saint-Germain lost to Manchester United at home and lost 0:1.
And in the ranking of Group H.
First: Real Madrid, 2 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses, 7 points.
Second: Manchester United, 2 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss, 6 points.
Third: Paris Saint-Germain, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss, 4 points.
Fourth: Atletico Greeks, 0 wins, 0 draws, 3 losses, 0 points.
......
After the game, there was a deathly silence in the dressing room of Paris Saint-Germain.
Everyone was silent.
They felt guilty about the loss.
And Yi Le and Neymar also stood aside, their expressions full of self-blame, and the two of them also need to bear a lot of responsibility for the loss of this game.
Boas did not comfort or say anything.
Inform tomorrow's training time, and then disband on the spot.
......
On October 23, the 10th round of Ligue 1, Bordeaux VS Paris Saint-Germain.
The defeat in the third round of the Champions League group had a big impact on Paris Saint-Germain.
The game was full of mistakes, and the players played in a desperate way.
Verratti couldn't find a place, Mbappe disappeared all over the pitch, Cavani was walking, and the back line was full of holes.
Di Maria withstood the pressure and scored a goal, but was soon equalised by the opponent and scored two more goals in a row.
Paris Saint-Germain suffered their first league defeat.
The commentator Monet Sr. was even more distressed: "We have a bad atmosphere now, the players can't find their form, they look like they're asleep on the pitch, we need someone to wake them up." ”
In the last three games, the record of one draw and two losses has made the fans in Paris very unhappy.
At the same time, they are also worried about the state of the team.
The French media have also reported on Paris' recent performance.
"The big Paris are terrible at the moment, they can't find the feeling of scoring goals at all, everyone seems to be numb, I don't see the slightest bit of aggressiveness. ”
Paris Sport: "The ban of Neymar and Yi has had too much impact on Paris, and Manchester United has made up for it at this time. ”
Le Royal de Monaco: "Paris has been hit again, and this is a problem of lack of substance. ”
Lyon Sport: "Ligue 1 Galaxy Battleship? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard! ”
In the face of numerous media criticisms, Paris Saint-Germain FC is under tremendous pressure.
The news is that the ban of Neymar and Yile has ended, which also gives a glimmer of hope to the originally lost Parisian fans.
But at the same time, the Parisian fans are also extremely worried.
The Champions League is underdog again and they fear that this time they will not even be able to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League.
The entire Parc des Princes stadium seemed to be overshadowed after these three games.
Parisian fans are glass hearts.
This is caused by repeated defeats, they continue to impact the Champions League, but what they are left with is disappointment again and again.
They had a couple of big starts, only to be kicked back home.
Countless examples!
This is not a pain that the average person can bear!
And the situation is very similar to what it used to be.
Are they going to fail again?
