PSG-Angers (6-1): Paris, as in training

The PSG express has this time reached its cruising speed. The easy victory of the French champions against Angers (6-1) confirms their return to the fore. Now second in the standings before the rest of this 6th day of Ligue 1, Thomas Tuchel’s men have erased their sluggish start with these two defeats against Lens (0-1) and Marseille (0-1) mornings of the scent of Covid-19 .

If the circulation of the virus continues to progress at high speed in Ile-de-France, it seems a nasty and distant memory for Neymar or Kylian Mbappé. With four victories in four games, twelve goals scored and only one conceded, Paris marches again on Ligue 1. At this rate, the region will turn scarlet red as quickly as the posterior of the Parisian opponents.

They would however need a little more ambitions than Angevins “come to win” according to their trainer Stéphane Moulin but stuck in a cautious 5-4-1. An understandable caution, however, in view of the Parisian armada. Especially when Neymar regains all his influence. The Brazilian’s dizzying breakthroughs and dribbles lifted the cups of champagne from the lips of the few VIPs allowed to watch the show from the boxes at the Park. A classy demonstration which reminds us that Neymar remains the best product of call for Téléfoot, in search of subscribers to make profitable its colossal investment to acquire the rights of Ligue 1.

The rise of Julian Draxler

The double of the Parisian n ° 10, his first goals after six games without scoring since the end of July and the final of the Coupe de France against Saint-Etienne (1-0), and his brilliant technical agreement with Kylian Mbappé will remain as the main ones satisfactions of this wet Friday evening.

An evening which also confirms the rise of Julian Draxler, holder for the fourth time in a row and author of his second goal of the season. Not the trajectory of a player from whom Leonardo hoped to gain a little financial strength by selling him in the transfer window. It also shed light on the Alessandro Florenzi paradox. The only rookie of the summer (with the 3rd goalkeeper Letellier) is an obvious offensive asset like his subtle opening of the score (1-0, 7th), his powerful header (41st) or his precise pass on the second goal from Neymar (3-0, 49th).

But his defensive largesse as on the goal of Traoré (3-1, 53rd) reminds that the danger for Paris may come to the sides, especially if on the left, Mitchel Bakker does not quickly increase his level while Layvin Kurzawa will not be able to replay in L1 that at the beginning of November against Nantes. In less than three weeks, it is Manchester United who will appear on the lawn of the Parc des Princes. Reds Devils certainly less docile than Angers and determined to redo the coup of 2019. Mail they may find on their way a Parisian train launched at full speed. It promises.
