Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Just to give you an idea, "recovering-ball line" in league matches is usually around 50-55 metres, while the opponent's is aroud 30 metres. I did not find fgures for CL matches but it is probably a little less. So they play quite high on the field and at the same time, they're quite compact, as Ibrahimovic plays often as a #10, close to Verrati and Matuidi. Quid pro quo, they are sometimes in troubles with opponent's counter attacks. Regarding weaknesses, I would just add that the whole team, not only Lavezzi, can be quite inneficient by missing numerous goal opportunities (e.g. game against Nice last Friday)As Kurupt said, the most serious issue for PSG will be the right side with Jallet being responsible for containing Hazard (according to the very latest news, VDW will probably miss the game). IMO, Marquinhos would be much better given his defending qualities ... The only good news is that Cavani defends a lot. Interesting. How effective are you at ball retrieval and who is most successful? We will no doubt press you high up the pitch and look to win the ball in the centre of the pitch... Will be interesting to see if you can cope with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKojo 25 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What are you talking about?Some PSG fans here have been everything except for respectful.. Go back a few pages and read the likes of DrKojo.Come on Dude, I wasn't that unrespectful. The stupid guy talking about WW2 was way more border line than me. I was just teasing. No offense given.What do you think of Verratti?You ask that to PSG fans here or to Chelsea fan ?As a PSG fan, I can tell you he's FANTASTIC player , FLUORICLASSE ! we LOVE him in Paris. And he's not that arrogant that some may say.If you ask to Chelsea fans, they haven't seen any PSG game, so I guess they don't even know Verratti.

Zdar 18 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 "It's really academic what happens on Wednesday at Parc des Princes.Chelsea will win at Stamford Bridge, and any deficit will be returned, with interest "PSG is perfectly able to score at the Bridge. If Chelsea doesnt score at Parc des Princes, Paris won't have to win in London to go through. If PSG win 2-0 on Wednesday, you expect Chelsea to win 3-0 on the 8th? Incas70, Verratti is a genius, it's a shame if Prandelli doesn't take him to Brazil (well okay Italia has good midfield but still). I guess he's not known across the Channel; but he will blow your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Schrute 114 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Interesting. How effective are you at ball retrieval and who is most successful? We will no doubt press you high up the pitch and look to win the ball in the centre of the pitch... Will be interesting to see if you can cope with it. PSG is hard to judge when it comes to ball retrieving as they had high ball possession in almost every of their games so far ... The more you have the ball, the less you have to retrieve it. But against Monaco, best team they played against so far, it was more difficult. In the last game (in Monaco), PSG scored very early so they let Monaco play, but still, they had some troubles to retrive the ball (in my opinion). Who is the best? To me, the three (Motta, Veratti and Matuidi) are roughly equal. But they are different when it comes to offensive game. Both Veratti and Motta have a great pass quality and driblling skills (espcially Veratti) while Matuidi is great at perforing opponent's defense and has less technical skills than his teammates. Regarding the game against Chelsea, Veratti can make it if he keeps his ability to play under pressure. But he will have not to keep the ball as long as usual; he can sometimes take risks to dribble. I think Motta will be fine but I am little bit worried about Matuidi, his lack of technical skills could be a drawback. As I said before, it is just my opinion, I let other psg fans reply if they do not agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeboii 1,844 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Verratti is a genius, it's a shame if Prandelli doesn't take him to Brazil (well okay Italia has good midfield but still). I guess he's not known across the Channel; but he will blow your mind. I know who he is and have known him since his Pescara days since I try to follow every young player with great potential. He is very good but I think the word "genius" is overrating him a little. He is very good and will be great one day, but not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Europe agree that you were the worst CL winner ever. The way you beat Barca and Bayern, was so ugly. Oh wait actually you didnt beat Bayern...

Kurupt 9 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What do you think of Verratti?A very exciting prospect and a bright talent. I think he could improve in some aspects (he's not quite decisive compared to his qualities, he doesn't dictate the game like Pirlo neither) but he's already in a high level despite his young age.Some highlights of his season: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchang 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 PSG always scores. Obviously, if Chelsea keeps a clean sheet, then I will be the first to congratulate you.3-0 in Paris, 70% ball possession.

mediator 2,026 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What do you think of Verratti?Inconsistent, fantastic potential. To harsh in 1 vs 1 and get too much cardsA bit like Hazard, everything to be a world class talent, but not there yet. I would be pleased if Chelsea could sign him to play next to Matic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unlikely, but if PSG win 2-0 on Wednesday, then yes Chelsea will win 3-0 or 4-1 at SB. Whatever it takes, Chelsea will go through.

The latest few years before new owner arrived may have been better for Chelsea, but both clubs were roughly in the same situation: 2 CWP for Chelsea, 1 for Paris, 1 National league for Chelsea, 2 for Paris, 3 national cups for Chelsea, 8 for Paris. I have no problem with you telling that Chelsea is going to win easily but at least try to be honnest when talking about the past. tenshirock, Mohammed Seif, Chelsea Legend 11 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
