To win its extension at PSG, White knows his mission: reach the last four of the C1 – Eurosport.fr

         The Champions League as a justice of the peace. Laurent Blanc knows what to do if it wants to extend its lease with PSG: it must reach the last four of the cup with big ears. According to information revealed by Le Parisien, the former coach of the Blues will be automatically extended by its officers in the event of qualifying for the semi-finals of the C1. A condition sine qua non that would be to stay PSG coach next season. The technician of 49 years, which comes out of contract next June, is aware that his future will be played on the European stage.
       

         Since its passage under Qatari flag (in 2011), PSG is the final victory in the Champions League. Parisian leaders repeat the loudly at the beginning of each season and each time it is always worth remembering. After failing three times at the stage of quarterfinals of the Champions League, the club from the capital will definitely take a course. This season is the last four or nothing. At least for Laurent Blanc. The Cevennes coach, who reached the final of the most prestigious quarters of European competitions during the past two seasons, will have to excel. His team with him.

         The challenge is for Laurent Blanc. But the demands set by the PSG are logical. Despite the heroic victory against Chelsea last season in the fourth round, Parisians stagnate and fail to cross the quarter-finals where they abut systematically for three years. Carlo Ancelotti has not fulfilled the contract, Laurent Blanc not yet. The fantastic night at Stamford Bridge gave credit to the former defender. But it will not be eternal. No matter which opponent will face Paris in eighths or quarters, large or less large teams, something other than accession to the semis will be experienced as a dismal failure.
       

         The future of Laurent Blanc should decide in the spring whether PSG passes unhindered group stage. Pressurization that the Parisian coach appreciates moderately even if it adapts to the demands of its European team: “I understand that the Champions League is considered the Holy Grail” is Ales native said in a press conference before the game against Shakhtar Donetsk. The coach of Paris still felt regret being evaluated solely on its European course. “When we set goals, we can not take into account that the Champions League This is a big goal club but can not be judged only through this competition. I think it’s unfair. Because it gives the impression that other competitions are unattractive or too easy. ” Nasser Al-Khelaifi probably should not share the same opinion on the issue.
