PSG-Nice: Down with the blocks!
Like many Ligue 1 teams before them, the Niçois came to drop off the bus at the Parc des Princes on Saturday. A strategy on the verge of winning them a point, but above all which has rekindled the debate on its effectiveness.
“In the Champions League, the teams look us in the eye. In Ligue 1, they only defend. It’s difficult.
» The little sentence from Gonçalo Ramos, in the mixed zone on Saturday evening in the bowels of the Parc des Princes, was certainly not intended to trigger such a debate, and yet. A few moments earlier, the Portuguese center forward delivered the Porte d’Auteuil on the gong, after 95 minutes of anguish coming up against the wall formed by Juma Bah, Kojo Peprah Oppong and company. A one-way meeting, but one which will have had all the difficulty in the world to resolve. Boring some would say, closed, tactical, without a doubt.
96 – Nice (96) is the second team to have fewer than 100 passes attempted in the first half this season in Ligue 1 after Angers (86), already against Paris on August 22. Bus.#PSGOGCN pic.twitter.com/zcoYSxFnH4…
