The day before the quarter-final against Barcelona PSG at the Parc des Princes, Laurent Blanc spoke at a press conference the different missions of its players to achieve the perfect match and get in a good position before returning to Catalonia.
The reference of the match at the Parc
In September, PSG had managed one of his greatest matches in dominating Barca (3-2) in the group stage. “ It’s a game that is part of the analysis , confirmed Laurent Blanc. There are others, like the game of Seville that I still looked this morning (2-2 in La Liga last weekend, note). the There are good lessons from this game because he had a win at the end. It must be one of the only teams Europe who scored three goals in Barca. It was also a reference in preparing for us the staff. We realize that we had a great game, both teams elsewhere. It will be able to repeat this performance, because it is one of the best teams in Europe. And do not make goals at home, we know how important it is. “
Do not make goals
This is probably the first mission of the Parisians, who still keep in mind the elimination in the quarterfinals last year by Chelsea thanks in part to the away goal scored at the move by the Blues (3-1, 0-2). “ A lot of teams are hoping that too against Barca but you still take in. Outside, at any time, they can score. We saw it on the way out. It was like a game Playstation! It marks a great goal but they scored just behind , said White. We’ll have to defend well. This is the paradox in the Champions League, we must defend at home before a back away game. “
Very strong physically
To defend and hold the execution speed of the Catalans, Parisians will be physically very strong. “ Their game philosophy is always the same, namely to put the opponent in his camp, tire the opponent passes “, analyzed the coach of PSG, who thought of a parade: “ They were so tired you as you back and so you find yourself in a position against. With the composition that will give tomorrow, you get the idea that we should play together, limit and leave spaces with the balloons. And it will take players able to do it physically. “
The problem Messi
Obviously, Lionel Messi will be monitored like milk on the fire. “ How to stop it? , wondered Blanc. Putting a player on him? It’s easy, dribble a player that does not scare him, and that would be the best way . to expel one of our players “For PSG coach,” it is necessary to solve the problem together “,” We proved we could hurt Barcelona, with fast or placed attacks, especially on set pieces. Being also very narrow, limited spaces. If Messi dribbling one or two players, it is necessary for the third he can not. “
The role Cavani
Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, suspended after his red card in Chelsea, Edinson Cavani will hold at the forefront of the attack of the PSG. White obviously expects a solution to conclude the attacks of his team, but not only. “ will be needed also in the defensive replacement, it does not calculate his efforts, he is very generous , he insisted. Against Barca, by force of circumstances one is forced to retreat. With “Cava” it can benefit us because it is a breakthrough player, we can hurt them in the races, I think we can get there. “
