I really like your post ! Each fan has the right to cheer and defend his side but there is no need for being contemptuous or for the nonsense (racism, wars, etcaetera..). I'm a PSG fan and i'm nice to meet you. I'm very excited about this game, hence i registered on your forum, to discuss and see your views about the different match-ups. I think it'll be a nice opposition of stye between a team which likes to keep the ball (and plays a bit too slowly) and a team which likes quick transition into counter-attacks. In this type of games, the slightest details will have a big impact. Just look at the Arsenal vs Bayern: a slight mistake led to a red card and an easy win for Bayern (which was stronger indeed). PSG players tend to waste a lot of goal situations but are usually that much stronger than the opponent that they will end up winning. However, Chelsea is a tougher opponent, so i hope we won't miss too much. If PSG can score a fast goal, i think we will have very good chances. Our best performances so far is when we take an early lead, making the opponent strategy (stay back and defend toughly) ineffective. The best strategy to defeat PSG is to apply a lot of pressure on their midfield, Thiago Motta and Verratti especially. They are the ones who make the play, with Ibrahimovic when he goes deeper in the midfield. Our right wing is our biggest weakness as you all seem to know. Van der Wiel is not bad per se, but average, defensively but rather good offensively. Actually, he is more of a winger when we are in an offensive phase (like following): ------------------------------Sirigu-------------------------- -------Alex------------------Motta-----------------Silva---- ---------------Verratti-----------------Matuidi------------- --VDW/Jallet----------------Ibra---------------Maxwell---- ----------------Cavani------------------Lavezzi------------- Overall, this game can go either side and with a small or very inflated score, dependind on how efficiently both teams will perform and if there are some game-changing refereeing decisions. PS: About the Ligue 1 trashing, i think most french guys want to say that, of course, Ligue 1, due to financial (heavy taxes), cultural (football isn't as praised than in England, Germany or other countries) and others factors, is a tier-2 league. Many hopes that with rich PSG and Monaco, better players will come, meaning more commercial, merchandising and TV incomes; bringing again better players etc => better league. The big question is, as weak as Ligue 1 is now, will PSG be able to step up their games aaisnt tougher opponents. That is why people gets excited aboutthe game incoming. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean we are feeling inferior or weaker, because if the Ligue is weak compared to BPL, it doesn't necessarily need that PSG will be weaker than Chelsea. Take the example of Bundesliga: Bayern is trashing everyone in this league with tennis scores, but we all know they are freaking beast in Europe. Be cautious, i'm not comparing Bayern to PSG. I'm just saying that even if you have no tough opposition in your own league, you might be, as a team, as good as a BPL top team. The game will give us some answers. I don't expect your team to perform as you did against Crystal Palace because i know you put 7 persons to prepare a plan. Furthermore, Blanc is not really doing a lot of tactic changes, he has found the ideal team for him and he keeps putting the same players at the same position whenever they are all available. Moreover, you have a lot of experience as a club which we still lacks (as player's experience it is not exactly even but closer since we bought some word class players with huge competition anger). About the FFP, i think we will get a fine. No way we get expelled as i saw in one post, because, as stated Platini, they don't want to jump on the hardest sanctions at start. They want to educate clubs and if they see you are not putting any efforts to comply after some reprimands, then they might go for full sanctions. PSG is trying to buy time to do a Chelsea (even faster to get more and more incomes even if being in France bring some limitations). Hava a nice day !
