According to a survey published Opinionway early April, 60% of people who are interested in football in France support the Paris Saint-Germain in the European Cup. Inevitably, you’ll find a few to cry conspiracy coffee machine, Wednesday, April 22, after removal of the capital club against Barcelona, in the quarterfinals of the Champions League (3-1 the first leg 2-0 at the back). Fortunately, francetv info has put together a short guide to shut them (when justified).
This is the fault of injury
Admissibility: 3/10 . Many players PSG hang recurring injuries since the beginning of the season: Thiago Silva’s thigh, shoulder Sirigu, heel Ibrahimovic … all because of a too light physical preparation? Laurent Blanc was annoyed to these rumors and insisted that his players had worked hard during the course of mid-season, in Marrakech (Morocco). Nevertheless: drag as many wounded as the peak shape of the players must get to this point in the season, it’s strange. The club doctor Eric Rolland, almost took the door, understands Le Parisien , but the club has retained after failing to find a replacement.
then the excuse does not hold: before the game against Chelsea, PSG was deprived of Lucas, Marquinhos, Cabaye and Aurier, which had not prevented from qualifying. In October, just before the victory against Barcelona …, the number of PSG was already decimated.
This is the fault of financial fair play-
Admissibility: 7/10 . Sanctioned by UEFA for breach of financial fair play, the capital club could register only 21 players in the Champions League when his rivals were able to register 25. And if its workforce is rich in heads gondolas, it shows its limits quantitatively, with only 23 pros. Against Barcelona, Laurent Blanc had three players on the bench that he could not reasonably bring Jean-Kevin Augustine (a match end-L1), Presnel Kimpembe (14 minutes among the elite) and Jean-Christophe Bahebeck (three tenure in the league this season).
However, PSG could have decided not to spend the entire amount authorized by UEFA (60 million euros) on the one David Luiz.
It is the fault of the draw
Admissibility: 4.9 / 10 . Certainly, this year, PSG is hauled Barça and Chelsea hens 8th. But forget too quickly that PSG has fallen for two consecutive years in the easiest group in the competition, and has been fortunate to inherit Bayer Leverkusen and Valencia in the last sixteen years previous. The last time PSG fell into the group of death, it was in the Champions League in 2004 with Porto (eventual winner), Chelsea (semifinalist future) and CSKA Moscow (future winner of the cutting UEFA). And anyway, to win the Champions League, we must at least eliminate a big one. The last winner on a misunderstanding (Porto, 2004), was still out Manchester United in the round.
This is the public’s fault
Admissibility: 6/10 . The position of the leaders in Paris on the Parc des Princes is schizophrenic. On the one hand, they are glad to have excluded the stadium the most protesters elements, on the other they complain that the park is not an intimidating cauldron for the opponent. Hence the timid attempt to regain control with the deployment (missed) a tifo against Chelsea in the fourth round, and hiring drummers for receipt of Barcelona in the quarter. Nevertheless David Luiz had to harangue the public apathetic to the half-hour mark against the Catalans. The public park, polite and well-mannered, sang “Thank you Paris” after the debacle.
This is the fault of referees
Admissibility: 2/10 . PSG took water against Barcelona without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, expelled against Chelsea and without Marco Verratti, which pays an accumulation of yellow cards. Sign of a hard referees on the Parisians? No: the PSG made few mistakes (it is 23rd out of 32 in the ranking of the worst performers) and the team still competing who took fewer cartons
.
This is the fault of Nasser
Admissibility: 7/10 . After the first defeat against Barcelona in December, the president of the club slipped to Laurent Blanc: “I hope this defeat will be the last” . The president of PSG, which aims to win the League in the near future champions, he put the bar too high? “It happens to be pretty clear pretty quickly when something is wrong” euphimises Jean-Claude Blanc, the general manager of the club, in Challenges . Laurent Blanc will perhaps charges, Tuesday, April 21, at the Nou Camp
But put on the table a small fortune and round up of good players is not enough to immediately win the cup with big ears.: Chelsea took twelve years between the arrival of Roman Abramovich at the club and victory C1, Manchester City and Emirati sheikhs still waiting. Record like: Silvio Berlusconi, who took only three years to win the supreme title. But it was in 1989. At the time, he was the only one to adopt this strategy.
This is the fault of the media
Admissibility: 1/10 . Too much pressure on PSG? Although the capital club monopolizes 50% of the each Team , media pressure in France is not commensurate with what happens to Barca in Spain, for example. There are two newspapers devoted 80% to the Catalan club ( Mundo Deportivo and Sport ), not to mention the pro-Real Madrid newspaper coming out the disturbing information about the club – the crisis between Lionel Messi and coach Luis Enrique in the fall – says Slate. We are still very far in France.
It is the fault of the calendar
Admissibility: 2/10 . PSG will play eight games in April, a record for the season. “This calendar is overloaded , complained Laurent Blanc. It does not allow us to recover.” True, a rate of two games a week puts organizations involved, and requires the coach to do only recovery between meetings. But that would be to forget that the opponent in the Champions League, Barcelona will play the same number of games in April.
It is the fault of the other teams in Ligue 1
Admissibility: 0/10 . French clubs have long justified their failures in the European Cup by weak domestic opposition. Suddenly, against a European Cador, the level rose two notches. PSG can not use this argument, because it can not fly over the championship, the fault of a considerable number of draws (11 out of 33 days).
And if the championship was that weak, Paris would be safe in the league a long time and could afford impasses. Juventus has sent his B team in Parma (0-1 defeat), just before receiving Monaco in the Champions League.
This is the fault of Jean-Michel Aulas
Admissibility: 0/10 . In French football, everything is always a little fault of Jean-Michel Aulas, the ubiquitous president of Olympique Lyonnais, now star of Twitter. Not this time: the president of the OL even had kind words for the Parisians, after qualification against Chelsea. With the secret hope that the fatigue in European Cup would make them lose points in the league, no doubt …
This is the fault of francetv info
Admissibility: 5 / 10 . You’ve really taken this product in literally?
