Lyon prove the lack of plan of a nondescript PSG

PSG could not get past the draw in Lyon (1-1). Nor did he deserve more against a rival who cannot be explained as living in someone else’s zone in the table with such good footballers. As always, the box Pochettino reacted to adversity. It cannot be said that it is nonsense because he always has something to contribute to haggle the defeat, but he leaves rather indifferent. Much has to change things to feel superior to the rest in the Champions League.

PSG lives trapped in time. It is a team without a narrative, which has not corresponded with the poster with which it was presented at the beginning of the season. Pochettino still does not give shape to the idea. Until Mbappé has ended up being infected with the negative inertia in which the Parisian cadre finds itself, an orphan in attack without Neymar ni Messi. It is not a question of analyzing the games from the result but of the sensations, nothing good to little for the cross against Real Madrid.

It remains to be seen if PSG can remedy so much improvisation. Against Lyon he signed a disastrous first half. Minimized by footballers on the right foot, he soon broke down after a wonderful pass from Guimaraes on the back of a clueless Kimpembe what flocked paquetá with the body to cross an impossible shot to Keylor Navas. The sad reality of so many other nights for a PSG that had to go once again in tow.

It happens that it is a team with no other plan than to wait for some great idea from Mbappé. The stick spat out a good attempt from the Frenchman, the only one with a certain spark. Lyon played with the rush of PSG, superior in the field kitchen. In that area it was known to prevail over Walls, Verratti Y Ander Herrera. When he had to entrench himself, he was also supportive. After the break, PSG put on their overalls. Out of obligation and out of respect for the shirt.

It was Lyon, however, who was able to sentence the clash in a beautifully crafted transition. The retreat is the great Achilles heel of a PSG that suffers too much turnover. This time Keylor Navas avoided the 2-0 of Dembele. Aouar He was not right either in the second attempt of another play that explains the weak tactics of PSG. Before emergencies, Pochettino he threw the bench: he brought in suddenly Sweeper, a Michut already Xavi Simons.

The changes took effect. The story of so many other nights was repeated. Out of nowhere, in an isolated play, Sweeper he chased a ball from the right peak of the area to beat the goalkeeper, who could do more. With inertia, this time positive, he was about to come back after a direct free from Mbappé. He found the wood again. Despite the final push, he was left without savoring an unfair triumph. Life continues the same at PSG.
