It was the first shock of Ligue 1. PSG flew in Monaco (3-0) with two goals from Edinson Cavani and confirmed its faultless start to the season, sickening a potential rival on Sunday for the 4th day.
With this result, Monaco is already relegated to seven points … In addition to his fourth win in four matches, without taking a single goal, PSG saw the return of his star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, decisive passer on the second goal, the beginnings of his big recruit, Angel Di Maria, ferryman on that of Ezequiel Lavezzi (83), and first goals in L1 this season Cavani (57th, 73rd).
Flot good news for Laurent Blanc
The good news is piling up for Laurent Blanc, even though his team does not yet running at full speed. But Monaco tired lost his two matches against Valencia (1-3 / 2-1) did not do much shaken. A leaning head and a cross shot from Cavani have mate the Red and White, before the coup de grace of the “Pocho”. The Uruguayan scored on a center of Blaise Matuidi, the strongman of the early Parisian season, offset Ibrahimovic, who has touched the copyright of a goal on his debut.
The Swede had not played since the Champions Trophy against Lyon (2-0), where he had been hit in the knee. It is still directly involved in the second goal of the “Matador”, a sharp passes in depth.
Entered in place of Lucas for the last 25 minutes, Di Maria has worked immediately to show why it had cost 63 million euros paid to Manchester United: he served caviar to Cavani with his first touch (67th) and especially delicious pass to the goal of Lavezzi. Ibra-Cavani-Di Maria, PSG found offensive potential he had used it sparingly until then.
New failure after the disappointment against Valencia
In Monaco, the early season becomes difficult. The ASM has good financial business this summer, adding sales in recent days of Aymen Abdennour (Valencia) and layvin kurzawa (PSG) in his last two opponents, a funny way to make the competition … Touched Kurzawa did not play against his former club.
After the disappointment against Valencia, which blocked his road to the Champions League, Leonardo Jardim tried a bit of alchemy, making several important changes. He tenured Italian Stephan El Shaarawy in left wing and Thomas Lemar and Adama Traoré in midfield. The “Pharaoh” was replacing Ivan Cavaleiro, appeared tired in the double confrontation against Valencia, and the former Lille Traoré succeeded Mario Pasalic, missed its dam return C1.
El Shaarawy has created the only dangerous opportunity of Monaco, coming face to Kevin Trapp with a good hook and a call that Anthony Martial embarked defense but came back to Blaise Matuidi time to hinder the shot (17th).
The reign of Thiago Silva on defense
Thomas Lemar, good to Toulouse and author a bleeding entry against Valencia won its stripes holder, pushing Bernardo Silva in attack and Nabil Dirar on the bench. But the offensives of Monaco were easily stifled by a defense where Thiago Silva has quietly reigned.
PSG dominated the debate fairly quickly. Lucas had the first chance of the match, though initiated by a bullet bell Marco Verratti but his shot is too soft Danijel Subasic went straight on (16th). Cavani was first missed its strikes, one on Subasic (25th), the other “topee” (45th), before adjusting the sights.
The PSG was dangerous with the many mounted Serge Aurier in the back of a Pharaoh not very applied to defensive duties. In the middle, the Italians and Thiago Motta Verratti have carefully filtered balloons. And since in front of goal, Kevin Trapp is easily blocked a shot from El Shaarawy who sped towards the top corner (49th), all is well at PSG.
