Sergi Darder, how did you live this evening against PSG?
I’m happy for the win. It is the first team to beat PSG. It’s an amazing thing. Both for us and for Lyon and supporters, which happened yesterday (Sunday) is beautiful.
Personally, you have had difficulties integrating in to your new team …
I thought the first month would be easy but in reality, they were very difficult. Ligue 1 is more physical than La Liga. The system was new to me. There is more competition in Lyon to Malaga. OL is a top club. But since 2016 Bruno (Genesio), I am more accustomed. With more confidence, I am better than before.
What was the problem in the first six months?
I do not know. There are many things. When you’re on a good momentum, it’s easier. The atmosphere was good but when you lose, it is always more difficult. And I do not speak French very well. I am always with Rafael, Anthony Lopes, who speak some English. It is easier today because my French has improved a bit.
The OL has he done well to change coaches?
I was happy with Hubert (Fournier). This is the first coach I had here. But with Bruno, there is a little compromise. The atmosphere and dynamics are better now.
What is your best position for you?
I prefer to play with two players in front of the defense. But the present 4-3-3 pleases me too.
With this superb goal scored against PSG, you feel liberated …
Yes, in recent months, I did not play too much but I felt better with training and with my partners. When I arrived, I was not feeling well because I do not progressed. I felt much better from January. I had a better feeling with the workouts. It was starting to come back
Canadians Milos Raonic and Daniel Nestor finally waived participation in the first round of the Davis Cup against France, played next weekend, from 4 to 6 March in Baie-Mahault in Guadeloupe. The first is still suffering from a tear in the adductor. The second, a specialist veteran double withdraws because of a “Last minute family problem” , said Tennis Canada. France, led by its captain Yannick Noah, which may consider this first deadline calmly.
As feared Tennis Canada officials who formalized its plan Monday, Raonic is not able to face the Blues in Baie-Mahaut. “My body does not allow me the time to play in competition, because the injury sustained in Australia is not yet completely healed” , said the No. 1 player in the world and 13th Canadian who bad back. After a final test Sunday in Los Angeles, Raonic has preferred not to align with clay Guadeloupe, chosen by France to disrupt the maximum.
His last tournament appearance was in late January, at the Australian Open. He was released by the Scot Andy Murray in the semifinals, and had shown bothered by a groin injury … which had not prevented him from finishing his match in 5 sets. A few weeks ago, the Canadiens won the Brisbane tournament by eliminating Roger Federer.
“A huge blow” Raonic had yet been announced in this group there is one week. But this package was widely expected: he had already given up on tournaments Delray Beach and Acapulco and smarting from his 2015 season disrupted by recurring back problems, he wants to take no chances
. however, the absence of Nestor is much more unexpected, since missed only his second Davis Cup meeting in fifteen years. The wear-Canadian, 43 years old and winner of eight Grand Slam titles in doubles, can not make the trip to Guadeloupe “for family reasons” , said Tennis Canada. In the absence of these two key players, captain of Team Canada Martin Laurendeau will build on the experience of Vasek Pospisil, 45th World led by the French Frédéric Fontang.
It will have to then choose between Philip Bester (No. 274) and Frank Dancevic (No. 245), while Adil Shamasdin (77 duplicates) should team up with Pospisil. “Losing Milos and Daniel is a huge blow” , admitted Laurendeau. “It will take the team to refocus and prepare as best as possible to meet the challenge of this France team” , he hoped.
France favorite The first meeting of Davis Cup held in the West Indies presents itself rather well for the France team. Already favorites on paper with four players in the top 20 in the world – Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (No. 9), Richard Gasquet (No. 10), Gilles Simon (17), Gael Monfils (19) – the Blues will not cross the road Raonic who regularly give them a hard time, as Monfils had found in Melbourne (quarterfinals by defeating 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4).
the reconstruction operation entrusted to Noah, captain of the France team for the second time in his career after winning the silver bowl in 1991 and 1996, will be able, except Canadian amazing feat, start in serenity. The France team needs a lot of calm after the disappointments of 2014 (final defeat against Switzerland) and 2015 (elimination in the quarterfinals by Britain, future winner), the acrimonious departure of Arnaud Clement and controversy sparked by the choice of Guadeloupe.
in case of victory on Saturday after the double, or Sunday, the Blues will consider a quarterfinal available against Germany or the Czech Republic in July. Meanwhile even better in a 2016 edition of the Davis Cup, which since the draw seems to have a soft spot for them.
From an accounting point of view: nothing (or almost)
Paris St Germain secured the title of champion of France long ago. Even, exaggerating, since the first second of the first meeting of the 2015/2016 season. PSG are above the pack. High. Very high. Too high. This morning, the hangover may be relative to the Gaza Laurent Blanc with 23 points ahead of Monaco, his first “pursuing”. The capital club will have to just wait one more week for the bacon.
If Paris had won at Lyon, it had been on Saturday against Montpellier at the Parc des Princes. It will probably be the following week (30th day), at the stage of Troyes Aube face. Less glamorous. But just as relentless. “There is no loss of life. (…) The most important is to have the advance we have and soon we can celebrate this championship” , perfectly summary Blaise Matuidi.

From the perspective of the workforce: The hierarchy remains the same
PSG appeared in Lyon with a team Aa. We’re not going to say diminished, respect for others in France Championship teams which greatly satisfy the eleven aligned Laurent Blanc, Sunday OL Park. And because Bruno Genesio was far to have all its forces. Anyway, the match lost by Paris only confirmed what we already knew: a midfielder Motta – Stambouli – Rabiot, it’s not like Motta – Matuidi – Verratti. The combination of the three men remains today as yesterday, essential to the smooth running of the PSG. If you doubt still, which seems unlikely, it is now complete.
On the right side of defense, we did not come to the Lyon suspended Serge Aurier offered more guarantees that his successor, Gregory van der Wiel. The other Sunday of failures, particularly at the central hinge or Ibra, remain anecdotal. At that time at least. Laurent Blanc has also shown any fingers at a news conference. For him, the Paris fall is primarily collective and related heads with legs. Difficult to prove him wrong. In Marseille, Paris was also well heckling, but was released thanks to a supplement of soul which his players have not shown Sunday.
From “European” perspective: a lesson, nothing more
Sunday, Parisian steamroller suffered his first stroke national arrest. The second in all competitions after the defeat in Madrid against Real (1-0). Should we worry about the Paris Saint-Germain, ten days short trip to Chelsea where the qualification is far from certain (go: 2-1)? Unless you are an accomplished soothsayer, it is very difficult to know. True, Paris has lost, has not been good and lacked desire against a Lyon team that overflowed. What is also quite normal. It is the contrary which had been worrying while the OL played much bigger than PSG.
At Stamford Bridge, Paris is sure to envy. Can you certify. Everything is now for Laurent Blanc and his staff, to ensure that the virtuous cycle of recent months does not become vicious. Because when the spiral is reversed, it is very difficult to reverse. In Paris and elsewhere. “This mentality, this aggressiveness, this commitment that enabled us to do this series had disappeared (Sunday), but it is possible we quickly found our mindset” , warned Blanc. David Luiz is not worried: “The morale is not reached If the morale is affected after one defeat is that the mind is not very strong..” Wednesday in Saint-Etienne, where Paris had good moves in the last few weeks, the capital club will have the opportunity to prove that he has recovered the ideas in place.

On social networks, the most roomers have already started their work. And although it’s a little soon forgotten the amazing season that realizes Thiago Silva, it is true that Sunday night “O Monstro” rarely so badly to its name. For a moment the fans in Paris believed to see the resurgence of the ghost after Brazilian World. Given the talent demonstrated previously by the old Milanese, one easily advocate the thesis of the accident. For against OL, the captain of PSG is fully passed through his match . Imprecise and not very serene in its revivals usually so clean, behind the marking and removed with ease several times in one-against-one … Sunday evening, Rachid Ghezzal and Maxwell Cornet gave dizzy in Brazilian . Embarrassed by the speed of the former Metz and deceived by the tricks of the first named Thiago Silva panicked instead refocus after a difficult start to the game.
David Luiz trotted
Around him, the whole Parisian defense that has suffered. at his side, David Luiz is not most incriminating. Against the partners of Alexandre Lacazette, former Chelsea defender is the one who won the most duels in the rear of the capital club. But many times also, its placement and its nonchalance hit. As on the action causing the second Lyon goal. right side, the Brazilian losing his duel and replace walking, following the center of Rafael Darder and purpose far, far away. On the same action, Maxwell is not more inspired. Many times exceeded his back by calls from Jordan Ferri and Sergi Darder, rear left Paris has mostly not involved in the offensive game around. And when we know the importance of the side in building attacks by Laurent Blanc, it is regrettable that Maxwell will be thrown forward as the last hour.
Van der Wiel has not benefited
At the opposite, Gregory van der Wiel failed to take advantage of the opportunity that was offered to him by his trainer. Last week, at the end of the knockout round against Chelsea, the Dutch had spread his moods, regretting not being sufficiently considered by its leaders. But Sunday night Marquinhos preferred to address the lack of Serge Aurier, the former player of Ajax Amsterdam crashed. great suffering face Maxwell Cornet, it is too far his vis-à-vis and can not defend properly on the opening of the Lyon score. Against the Blues in ten days, van der Wiel should attend the match from the bench. Once again.
“The tactic was to press them and harass”
But if PSG Defence suffered so much Sunday night, it was also because she could never get out. unusually low Placed on the ground, the Parisian block has spent three quarters of his time in the field at first period. Blame the media, essentially, that were not able to repel the laundry Ferri and Darder. “The tactic was not to retreat, not to let them play, press them and harass them to do technical errors and they do not have the opportunity to develop their game,” explained Jordan Ferri after the match. winning bet SINCE leaving no space to Thiago Motta, Lyon have embarrassed the first revival of the Ligue 1 leader. And with unusual frequency, we saw David Luiz and Thiago Silva send long balls forward for one hour. Not the game advocated by Laurent Blanc Marseille … As it two weeks ago, Lyon has provided further proof that this is harassing top Parisian team that we give ourselves the best chance to destabilize. Must still have the means.

The coach of PSG calls for immediate remobilization.
How do you explain this setback? LAURENT BLANC. is was too, too much means, if not more, to expect anything. Lyon’s victory is deserved. OL has the aggressiveness and the necessary technical quality. Our first half and especially our first fifteen minutes were very low. You could not think about this type of game. good job this week was. Are there has been a relief? Perhaps. We’ll have to forge ahead and bounce.
The PSG was unrecognizable early in the game … was committed unusual technical errors. I will not blame my team but congratulate Lyon. This is not always the case in the other direction when Lyon lost. As it is said.
How can you react after this meeting? The reaction, all the familiar. We’ll Wednesday in Saint-Etienne (quarter-final of the Coupe de France). It’ll be the same game style. Can we be in the same apathy? We must have a different mindset to remain high. Our mentality, our aggressiveness, our commitment and desire were gone. We got him for a while, it should be possible to find it all pretty quickly.
Are you worried that the end of this series of games unbeaten starts the determination of the players, who wanted to finish the championship unbeaten? If you lack motivation with our deadlines, how other teams? We do not have the right. This happened tonight (last night) , but I hope it was an accident and we will regroup to find a very different mindset. The records, were beaten, even if there are always other. Honestly, tonight was not the subject, it was too way to do anything, and I include myself in it.
This benefit she stresses importance of Verratti and Di Maria in the creation of the game? We can not discuss that. With such apathy, a lack of involvement and this beautiful Lyon team, our opponents would have won regardless of the squad. This is not a team issue but state of mind.
This match can it serve as a wakeup call? This is exactly what I told the players in the locker room. It is not enough to stand in a football stadium, which is beautiful by the way, to win. If you think you can not lose at this point, you’re not a great competitor. Many teams dream of beating Paris. You were doing your headlines. Well, it is Lyon. Plus they have a very good game and deserved their victory.
