Parisien have grazed the extension. Faced with Saint-Etienne team largely rebuilt and rejuvenated (because nine players injured and two suspended effective), PSG has obtained his qualification for the quarterfinals in any end game (86th) through Cavani, scorer of the workforce in this competition (8) on an assist from Angel Di Maria. Two players entered the last half hour.
But it was winded. To believe that the men of Laurent Blanc did not really want to defend their title. The day before, their coach was certainly said that the cuts would not be the priority of the season. It will probably not thought of that competition, rather the Coupe de France, although misplaced in the calendar compared to games of the Champions League in February and March 2016.
The message has perhaps not been properly transmitted to his players as this classic League Cup – it was the fourth consecutive time that the two clubs competed in this event – proved well boring. Even Ibrahimovic, who nevertheless so loves scoring against Saint-Etienne (12 goals in all competitions), has remained silent. It took until the hour mark and the entry of Cavani and Di Maria (62) to finally see Paris find a face (slightly) more attractive.
While confrontations between Paris and Greens League Cup has always led to tight scores (by a goal difference or a penalty shoot-out). But youth and inexperience of eleven Saint-Etienne (six young players were lined up at kickoff) had left to believe in a one-sided game. It was not the case. Like what, nothing is written in advance.
Obviously, we can only praise the Stéphanois of mood that followed to the letter the instructions of their coach, Christophe Galtier, remaining well combined. It can also and especially criticize the lack of commitment and seriousness of the Parisians, many drafts. The Paris coach was also redesigned its eleven titularisant Lucas, Lavezzi, Stambouli or Kurzawa. And for this last trip to the Park of 2015, those do not really scored points.
The PSG managed, has little endangered. If at all. Sirigu, holder, made the judgment that it was necessary to Corgnet (7th) or the young Roussey (83). Ibrahimovic was illustrated by the spectacular scissors that failed on the Mill bar (25th). Even Rabiot was highlighted with a long shot in two captured by Etienne goalkeeper, playing his fourth game last night in as many years. We may also retain this shot from the left Lavezzi (75th) rejected a corner. But that’s about all.
The PSG has provided most. His qualification as White now has one hundred victories on the PSG bench, in all competitions, as far as Georges Peyroche. It is better to remember that.
