PSG dream – Sports.fr

Which game! To the wall after a series of disappointing performances, the Paris Saint-Germain has responded magnificently Tuesday night’s Champions League by offering the scalp of Barcelona (3-2) after an anthology part. Paris takes one shot head Group F and, perhaps, really launched his season.

Laurent Blanc can blow: for at least a few days or weeks, we do speculate about his future at the head of the Paris SG. Pressurized by a series of draws most disturbing about the way in the result itself, the PSG coach lived, as the crowded park, an evening as he had perhaps dreamed, or Anyway imagined, with the arrival a 3-2 win against Barcelona was unbeaten since the start of the season and still has not beaten in C1.

This second appointment European season was considered a turning point for White and PSG, the players in the capital have beautifully negotiated resistant to dry up first Catalan, before making the difference by putting three goals to an opponent who does had yet to concede this season thanks to the quality of their set pieces (and Catalan weakness in this area) and the price of an early second-half removed. Paris had never won a match of the Champions League without Ibrahimovic, who remained in the stands due to “heel pain” persistent, it’s done, not because of his replacement at the forefront of attack, Cavani, yet unfortunate, but thanks to a big collective force symbolized by the enormous work done by Blaise Matuidi an international returned, and three goals by more defensive players.

This success remind some of the March 1995 against FC Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the same C1 (2-1), allowing PSG to take the lead in Group F and a psychological advantage at least on a Catalan team remained threatening to the end . For if Paris was rewarded for his good start to the game by opening the scoring of David Luiz, quicker than Mascherano to take a free kick from Lucas out of reach Ter Stegen (1-0, 10th), he then suffered , conceding 102 seconds later the equalizing goal from Messi, his 68th in C1 (he had not scored for three games) after a wonder collective action, before running after the ball a lot, monopolized by Barca.

But aside from a love of Fishy Messi to Neymar that does not fit its resumption (25th), the Catalans do not show dangerous and worse, show some defensive frailties when PSG begins to grow, especially on set pieces. And it’s almost inevitable in a corner kick right Thiago Motta that Verratti forgotten at the back post by Rakitic, take the missed exit Ter Stegen to offer unexpected guests ahead and register his first goal in the jersey PSG (2-1, 27th). Paris is doing well and keep his advantage until the break before starting the second act perfectly controlling the ball and thinking make the break when shifted on his lane right by Pastore, Van der Wiel to a cross cord cut victoriously at the far post by a pervasive Matuidi (3-1, 54th).

But as in the first period, the Parisian joy is very short, the time for Neymar in the box to receive a lobed cross from Daniel Alves and adjust Sirigu with the help of the right post (3-2, 56th). The end game is suddenly very tense, Paris bends but does not break, like this decisive rescue Marquinhos before Jordi Alba (82) with the outer post Munir (85th) or of such strikes too crossroads Sandro (90 + 1), and finally rejoice at the final whistle.

Phelps plunges into alcohol – Sports.fr

Michael Phelps, one of the greatest champions in the history of swimming, is not the ideal son. The American 29-year-old was controlled driving his vehicle in flagrante delicto of excess speed and under the influence of alcohol.

Michael Phelps was arrested while intoxicated Tuesday in Baltimore, at the wheel of his car, according to Tmz.com. It was about 1:40 in the morning and the American was traveling at 135 km / h instead of 70 Initially, the police arrested only for this excessive speed (and a crossing white line), but the representative of the order was then realized that the swimmer was alcoholic.

His control was obviously twice the legal limit allowed. Phelps was previously arrested in 2004 for drink-driving at the age of 19. Pleading guilty, he was then released with a probation period of 18 months. At 29, the applicant will therefore offer a new route to court.

As a reminder, during the winter of 2009 News of the World had broadcast shots of the star was smoking cannabis.

Laurent Blanc, the victory will go through the game – Sport365.fr

Laurent Blanc, PSG how can he become the great team last season
It’s not easy but I think the PSG will find its level and its performance Last year the game. This is our philosophy, it worked very well last year, the players are happy to play in that philosophy. Tomorrow we will meet our teachers. In the game, our confidence has not evaporated. It was perhaps not all the means for the game this year but I hope it will happen quickly. And if it’s tomorrow, great. It’s an amazing game and we happen to make a big performance if we continue in our philosophy of play and if you put more aggression to the recovery of the ball. Against Barcelona, ​​it will be even more to watch for when this team has the ball, it is very difficult to counter.

How do you explain the contrast between the last production of the PSG and FC Barcelona, ​​which nevertheless rely on the same playing philosophy
philosophy game is a basic quality of this Parisian team for a year and a half but get to have the ball and want to be dangerous. Barcelona did not concede a goal since the beginning of the championship. In every game, the opposing team obtained opportunities. They have that philosophy to have the ball and hurt their highlights. We in our highlights, we are a bit less flashy than last year. We must find it.

Your Team Is not too chilly?
It’s not a question of fear. Possession is good, run the opponent, that’s good too. But in a possession, must highlights are translated into scoring opportunities. Besides Saint-Etienne and our first game in Reims, it becomes more difficult. It has the ball but it becomes less dangerous because we lack the collective and individual percussion.

Will you take the risk of doing again your team play in a system that does not mastered?
When you have a match to it decisions must be made. For me, the best way to prepare is to play the game in the system in which players are accustomed to playing. Otherwise, you’re in great danger. You have the ambition to make a great game and this is the game you’re going to do it. Tomorrow it will be tricky, we will not open the doors for players like Messi and Neymar. We must be good together but I will ask my players to play. This is the best way to make a great game.

PSG-Barcelona: Jérémy Mathieu, the man that we do not expect it – 20minutes.fr

FOOTBALL – Former Sochaux defender holds with the Catalan club …

To recruit new socios, it is not the best marketing tool. Silent, not very charismatic and less flashy than Messi or Neymar, Jérémy Mathieu is at Barca is an axle is a Ferrari. Man’s basic lineup Luis Enrique who recruited this summer, the French embodies the Barcelona defensive solidity, evidenced by the lack of goals conceded from the beginning of the season. Figure of the last great Catalan countryside, Gerard Pique is now asked to go enjoy the bench.

Let’s be honest, nobody expected to see Mathieu owning his locker one day in the locker room FC Barcelona, ​​PSG opponent Tuesday night in the Champions League. “Even he does not come back,” smiles Mickaël Isabey, his teammate during his professional debut at Sochaux. It was there twelve years and at the time, the big redhead (1.89 m) out of the training center a few seasons after Meriem, Frau and Pedretti. “It attracted less attention than others. We did not see him go to Barca but the most important thing is not where the saw but where he actually played, highlights the former Sochaux president Jean-Claude Plessis. I’ve had players that have been designated as the new Zidane did not have careers announced. It has exceeded its ambitions “

Luis Enrique.” He quickly dispelled doubts “

But how did he get there? Party in Spain after four years in Toulouse, the left side was converted stopper during his visit to Valencia (2009-2014) developed to become one of the mainstays of the Liga for this post. The ideal man for Luis Enrique, eager to deliver on arrival of competition in a team where some frames were installed too less for some tastes Catalan fans intrigued by the 20 million euro dropped to a 30-year-old defender away to be a superstar. “I was there on vacation in Barcelona this summer and I wanted to buy his jersey at the club shop shortly after signing says Plessis. The seller did not know and had to check his number. “” His recruitment has generated doubts because of the price he had to pay but he was soon dispelled, “slips his coach.

On the lawn, Jérémy Mathieu style is a lot of anticipation, a good speed -on even said that he was the fastest team in the physical-tests and a significant presence in the air. “I’m doing my best to play well and I’m glad that people recognize my efforts,” said the defender, recalled by Didier Deschamps during the last rally of the Blues. “I saw him play with Barca and I think he has what it takes to succeed in this team continues Isabey. It’s a real good football player. “So much for sales jersey.

But for us, the most important, it will bring back the three points.

Are you surprised that people are surprised at the level you are playing?
I do not know. I try to do everything possible to help the team and play well. In fact, I play like I did in Valencia. But I’m glad that people have somewhat revised their judgment on my game.

Stade Toulousain: The five issues that greatly annoy Guy … – 20minutes.fr

RUGBY – The Toulouse general manager has vigorously defended his club always penultimate Top 14, with sharp barbs against arbitration …

A special morning Stade Toulousain. First, Guy Noves appeared before the dozen journalists present at Sept-Deniers, notebook in hand.

Then the general manager of the penultimate Top 14 challenged the audience to observe three actions match lost in Bayonne Friday (35-19), marred by him refereeing mistakes: the yellow card Maestri’s red card Flynn and testing of the Basque Etrillard. After a quarter of an hour demonstration, he swept various issues. Scathing.



Referees

“What I’ve done here is not to load the referees, which is to be clear, I do not put pressure on person, “assured Noves. “Can I ask a question about pictures that show my good faith. Today, many decisions away I think those should be taken normally. “

” When players give as much and as external elements work to reduce their potential, it makes me ill, “said he tried.

Neighbors Castres

” Are you as likely to Castres (last Top 14)? asked Noves, falsely naive. Over the past two years, the club who is vice-champion and champion of France. “

” Yes, the situation is complicated, however, recognized the strong man of the most successful club of Europe. But we will fight to the end, as we fought the same year securities. There were difficult moments. Nothing we fell into the basket alone. “



Media

” You’d like that earlier this week, I’ll say ‘that’s it, doubt s’ is installed, “blurted the Toulouse general manager, ironic. The further you go beat up less doubt takes hold. You will come across guys who are competitors. “



The” big lie “on the formation

Very back on topic, Guy Noves has occurred. “When some say that there is more training Stade Toulousain is a vomit of nothing! He is 20 years old, there were no strangers, no professional rugby. When we went looking for a young talented player, it did not cost anything. Today you will find a cadet Pinsaguel (Haute-Garonne), you must let go 30,000, 40,000 or 50,000 euros. Rugby has evolved. “

According to the general manager,” The training has never been greater. It has the old players, drives youth were multiplied by three or four. So when we say we dropped the training, it is a big lie. “



Recruits

” Some of our recruits are present not to bring a plus but to compensate for an absence. Not five or six. “Noves certainly think, among others, the pillar Tialata, more than mediocre since his arrival in Bayonne.

” Is it anticipated that Kakovin, returning from injury, be touched again after two matches while Johnston and Ferreira are injured? If our scrum did not have these problems then, the games we lost few could be earned. “Meanwhile, the first line of the Red and Black is still weakened by the already critical reception of the French stage Saturday.

Laurent Blanc: “To be sure we can win” – The Equipe.fr

Laurent Blanc, how to revive your team currently doubt you consider?
It’s not easy, but I think the PSG find the level and performance of last year by the game. Because it’s our philosophy. It worked very well last year. The players are happy to play in that system. Our strengths have not evaporated. The means that were available last year to make the game, we do not have all this year. But tomorrow, we will meet our teachers, they play like that for 40 years, we are happy to address them. It is an amazing game to play for everyone, for all those who love football. And we happen to make a great performance 1) playing our philosphy, 2) being consistent, determined and aggressive when the other team has the ball. Even with Barca in front, because we know that when he has the ball, it is very difficult to counter.

“It will compensate for the absence of Ibrahimovic by a very powerful group. “ How do you plan to compensate for Ibrahimovic? package
certainly will not be easy, we know. Already experienced last year, we played tough matches without Ibra. With him, it is more efficient, the opponent is closer but it will do without him. We have high quality strikers. If you do not have a large group tomorrow will be difficult to achieve a great performance. It will compensate for its absence by a very powerful group.

Do you think that the ball will be one of the key elements of the game This will be important
yes. This is the basic quality of our team last year and a half. You have to have the ball, because when it does, your team is less worried. But you also have ideas of play. I saw all the matches of Barca this season. They still created chances. This is the example to follow. They want to hurt their highlights. That’s what we need this year. It is a little less flashy collectively and individually. It’s not a question of fear, just be aware that the ball is good, to run the opponent, but not enough. Must have strong time and our opportunities are realized.

Does it represent a particular emotion for you to return to Barca, one of your old clubs?
Barcelona has always been one of my favorite teams, especially for his style of play. I know some people like and others do not. I love it! There has to see the trophies won over the past decade with the game and goals … Replay against them, it’s always fun, even if it’s been. I was pretty proud to wear these colors. I enjoyed Barcelona. But we must be realistic, I coach a team to beat them. It will be convinced that we can win.

“This is the game that can make a great game.” Advocate the game to beat Barca, master of the subject, is not it a bit dangerous?
We need a method. We must make decisions and learn how to play. The best way to prepare for a match is to tell the players to play like they know how to do, as they are accustomed. If I ask them things they do not know how it is in great danger. The objectives of the club we know and that’s just the game that can make a great game. We could put eleven players in front of goal and score from a corner, it’s possible, but I do not think people want to see that. Please note, we will not open the doors wide, we must remain balanced. Anyway, if you do not play and you lose, you’ll be the first to wonder why we did not play. I do not know if this is the best tactic. I do not know. But it has the merit of being a solution.

Do you have any regrets about your turns before the actual scenario of the game Sunday when you came back in the game in the second half?

I have no regrets having turned when Erding while striker coolest recent weeks hurts. It’s normal that Marseille is fresh (OM received two days off more than Saint-Etienne before this match), so I hope that the representatives of the LFP will quickly realize that it takes the sporting fairness. If Marseille played a little later in the week, there will be perhaps had different things and eleven different for OM. But this is not the league that has beaten us is Marseille.

What are the strengths of this team that has dominated Marseillaise you

The OM has been since the start of the season very powerful athletically. This team is in constant harassment with the desire to win the ball back as quickly as possible. I found these players very disciplined and very sharp. And when the players at this level are sharp and disciplined, it hurts. Marseille will be a candidate for the title.

The game against the Ukrainians FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the Europa League on Thursday, is it your big goal of the week

Saint-Etienne will not be favorites against the Ukrainians. This is a club that has the financial resources that few clubs can have in France. But we will play this game without restraint, all the way into a cauldron waiting games like that for several seasons. We will have to do a funny customer, for sure.

Christophe Galtier, Saint-Etienne coach after 2-1 defeat to Marseille “ I am sorry to have played only one period, the second. It was absent from the debates at the start. Yet we know, or at least I knew that OM brand 75% of its goals in the first 20 minutes periods. The first goal is beautiful, the second takes away the opportunity to take a point. It is due to a direct fault. OM press a lot and had the technical expertise, insight and intelligence not to take the second goal, which punishes us lourdement.En second period, ASSE had a different face with more of everything, except occasions. You had the cool but it is normal that the OM has more freshness. OM is a candidate for the title. The velodrome is beautiful, there is a good sounding board. I wish that OM plays in European competitions. This stadium is a wonderful tool, “.

St. Stephen returns null part! Exceeded in almost all areas of the game, the Greens took the water during the first period and conceded two goals from Imbula (1-0, 7th) and Payet (2-0, 28th). Rather busy running after the ball, they apparently corrected it a little shot at the break: Lemoine returned to Erding up to densify the midfield, and players accompany a few more attacks. Result, Brison was alone at the back post to shoot Mandanda a beautiful half-volley and restart the match (2-1, 53 ‘). There are undoubtedly the best among the Greens but be careful not wanting to go too fast because the OM still remains focused, and its current effectiveness calls for extreme caution!

Teams from:

Marseille : Mandanda – Dja Djedje, Nkoulou, Morel, Mendy – Imbula, Romao – Ayew Payet Thauvin – Gignac.
Saint-Etienne : Ruffier – Clerc, Pogba, Sall, Brison – Diomandé, Cohade – Mollo, Monnet-Paquet – Saint-Maximin, Erding.

Ryder Cup: Victor Dubuisson, revelation – 20minutes.fr

GOLF. – The French actively participated in the triumph of Europe over the United States at Gleneagles (Scotland) …

Sunday is Rory McIlroy who served Champagne Victor Dubuisson. Like the rest of his teammates Ryder Cup, the world’s number one expected the French to finish his part to flood the 18th green and golden hair “Dubush.” The image will remain as the first highly successful global player in the 23rd test, won again by Europeans (16.5 to 11.5).

“This guy and the future star of the team, “

The best compliment came from Graeme McDowell. The Irishman shared two parts-each foursome player plays the ball from the otherwise victorious with the phenomenon Friday and Saturday. “I think this guy is the future superstar of the European team. It’s very easy to play alongside a player so talented. He is very modest. But all I had to do was to make it relax, and take pleasure and lets go. ” The bet was not a foregone conclusion for this solo first, who hates comic transit and drives parts with the upper crust.

Paul McGinley, the Irish captain of “Team Europe “promised not to force its nature after spending three days in Dubuisson, in Cannes, to get to know him. He kept his word, asking McDowell, a Taulier Ryder Cup, to get comfortable for the weekend. It worked, did the scare on Friday when “Dubush” forgot his putter … the toilet! “I was stressed before you start, but faded soon we typed out the first pitch, the French responded. The main reason for my good behavior during the two days was the fact evolve alongside him. “

Things to do in two years

undefeated at the end of the weekend -he finished sharing his game against Johnson Dubuisson had a real “crush” with the Ryder Cup, unlike Van de Velde and Levet, anonymous passengers in 1999 and 2004 if his match Sunday accounted for champagne, he was placed in the last part, a sign that does not deceive: the French is set to become a regular customer of the largest rendezvous of golf on the planet. He succeeded in any case his first final exam.

    Mancini, a threat to White – Sports.fr

    The Early disappointing season PSG already up Laurent Blanc in an uncomfortable situation on the Parisian bench. At that point already a contender to succeed coach doubles champions France will profilerait in the person of Roberto Mancini believes Le Parisien.

    According to information relayed by Le Parisien, a prime candidate is already on the horizon profilerait successor on the bench to PSG Laurent Blanc increasingly weakened by a disappointing start to the season. A three-day clash in the Champions League against FC Barcelona on Tuesday in the Parc des Princes, the new draw (1-1) recorded Saturday at the Stadium, against Toulouse on behalf of the 8th day of Ligue 1 , would be inconsistent with the roadmap set by President Nasser al-Khelaïfi his technician, certainly publicly supported by one (1-1) conceded against Lyon, but “guest” especially to win his next two appointments -you in the league and do well against Barcelona. A chain longer relevant after the sad performance in the Rose City.

    The advantage of having already led players forefront, including a Zlatan Ibrahimovic

    And if, according to the newspaper, no track has so far been enabled by the leaders in Paris, any humiliation Tuesday against the Barcelona would be sorely missed by the Qataris for which a man would present an ideal profile in the case of a change of coach at Paris: Roberto Mancini, free since leaving Galatasaray last spring, has the stature to regain control of a workforce unable to revive the momentum today which allowed the conquest of two league titles in France the past two seasons.

    More than the former Sporting Director, Leonardo, whose name insistently, but that is no longer always selonLe Parisien, out of favor with some members of the Paris cloakroom, former coach Manchester City and Inter already approached by PSG in 2013, also has the advantage of having already led to players of the first rank, including a Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Milan between 2006 and 2008

    Paris had to worry about – Le Parisien

    <- Hard dé e: 0.030335903167725 sec -> Victory Wednesday in Caen (2-0) was only a mere parenthesis in this series of matches without relief and without panache. Yesterday, at the Stadium, with a team certainly altered, PSG conceded his sixth draw of the season in all competitions, including four in September. A three-day clash against Barcelona in the Park, the alert status is at maximum, as the reasons for concern are many.
                     
    <- hard dé e: 0.039389133453369 sec ->

    A tense atmosphere. By dint of chaining poor performance, tension escalated in the Parisian ranks. She was more than palpable on the ground yesterday when Laurent Blanc was forced to reframe David Luiz after equalization Paris (33 th ) or when Salvatore Sirigu challenged his coach during the break to cool it ask to see his system. In the stands, the black eye of President Nasser al-Khelaifi reflected his weariness of his team to stammer his football. Upon its release (72 th ), Cavani also had his head bad days. And in a press conference after the match, Laurent Blanc was hardly better mood, “What do you want me to say? We saw a difficult start to the season? You do not stop to write it, and finally you are right, he said. Yes, it’s true, you do not win games like we did last year. Here we are in the hard difficulty is known. “

    A lack of confidence in the game. Two months after the start of the season, PSG is still looking for his match reference. There are certainly the victory against Saint-Etienne (5-0) in late August, but it was quickly overshadowed by the poor performance of September. Of yesterday is no exception to the rule. Laurent Blanc had turned its workforce. But neither liners nor the executives have been able to challenge the people of Toulouse. The trio of middle has nothing magical. Cavani, yet positioned in the center this week due to the absence of Ibrahimovic is again remained silent at his preferred position. And system change (Pastore moving behind the two strikers) brought nothing except confusion. “I do not think this pattern will be repeated against Barcelona, ​​says White. In fact, everything depends Offensive solutions that I will have. Basically, we do not play the same when Ibrahimovic is there or not. “

    Grosse uncertainty Ibra. That is the big concern in recent hours. The Swedish giant, who suffers from heel pain, does not recover as quickly as expected. Initially, PSG had thought putting to rest this week would be sufficient. But the player limped down Friday and a package against Barcelona is no longer excluded. “Everything is possible”, it was claimed last night in the entourage of the club. “We follow him, we’ll make sure to treat him to recover quickly, says White. We’ll know more Sunday or Monday. “A final decision could be taken tomorrow night
