PSG - Montpellier: four returns in the Parisian eleven

This Friday evening, Paris Saint-Germain hosts Montpellier to open the second day of Ligue 1. For this match, Luis Enrique will be able to count on the return of four new players in his eleven.

Tonight, Paris Saint-Germain plays its first match of the season at home in Ligue 1. Parc des Princes, the Parisians will challenge Montpellier in the opening of the second day at 8:45 p.m.

Returns in the Parisian workforce

For this second day of Ligue 1, PSG takes on Montpellier. After a big win last Friday in Le Havre (1-4) which came down to the last few minutes, the Parisians will play the first match of the season at home and will be able to count on the probable starting line-up of four returning players. Substitutes in Le Havre before being decisive, Ousmane Dembélé or Bradley Barcola should be in the starting line-up tonight, as should Marquinhos, a substitute last week. Nuno Mendes could also start.

After Gonçalo Ramos' ankle injury which will keep him out of action for three months, Luis Enrique gave a long update on the transfer window at a press conference, adding that he has complete confidence in his squad, including French hopeful Désiré Doué who has joined the ranks: "Gonçalo Ramos is injured, it's a shame and sad but it doesn't change anything. I have a lot of confidence in my team. But the president, Luis Campos and I are open to improving our team but it is very difficult to find because we already have a very high level squad. “ For the Spanish coach, the absolute objective is not to complete his group: “We have no priority or urgency. We observe this transfer window and see if a player appears at a normal price. We already have a team. Our transfer window was carried out with promising players, perhaps not known to you. We remain open until the last minute. A high price can sometimes become a problem because it puts pressure on”.

A speaker at the test

After the departure of the historic Michel Montana at the end of last season, PSG will test the presenter Miguel Derennes this Friday. The choice of the former radio presenter of football evenings on France Bleu Paris is not final since the capital club is giving itself time to adapt to the reactions of its supporters and test other candidates.

The “fuses” of PSG

Before going to the Parc des Princes this evening, Michel Der Zakarian did not fail to recall the offensive quality of the Parisian group despite the loss of Kylian Mbappé, who left for Real Madrid: “I saw them last week (during the success at Le Havre, Editor's note) and they still had some rockets when they brought on Barcola and Dembélé on the other side, so that triggers a lot of things. They have speed, technical quality in midfield, they have what it takes. They have what it takes to be champions again.”

Laurent Nicollin's controversial exit

For several weeks, the arrival of DAZN in Ligue 1 has been controversial, given its price, which many supporters and personalities in French football consider exorbitant, and the president of the LFP, Vincent Labrune, finds himself in the sights of certain leaders. He can nevertheless count on the support of Laurent Nicollin, president of the MHSC. Questioned by our colleagues from Le Parisien, it wasé cash on the subject: "Do I understand the outrage over this price? ? Outrage, yes, but it's more expensive in Italy, Spain, Germany or England. We are in a country of freedom, the guy who can subscribe does so, the guy who can't doesn't. At some point, if it's expensive for some, it's supply and demand. You don't bring people out into the street with a gun and tell them to subscribe to DAZN! Afterwards, it's very French to criticize, but if that's all you have to do… When I go to a restaurant, if it's not good I don't say I don't like it, I'm not going to “write notes, stuff”… “

The Montpellier manager then openly defended the boss of the Professional Football League: “He took over the League with Mediapro and Covid, he managed to recover Amazon, to bring in an investment fund which allowed, admittedly on a drip, clubs like us to recover money for two years when the TV rights did not work as we had hoped. But that does not mean that we should call into question all the work done over the last three and a half years. For me, yes, he is the man for the job.
