And six! It is not Chambéry who will stop the series of invincibility of PSG in Starligue at the start of the season. Like others before them, the Savoyards bit the dust, without doing worse or better than the first opponents of the Parisian stars. With 6 victories in as many matches, Paris continues its flawless course in the Starligue by inflicting a defeat by at least 5 goals on its hexagonal rivals.
The game
We will not blame Chambéry for not having sold his skin dearly. The players of Erick Mathé have long been on an equal footing with a PSG who perhaps had the lead in Barcelona where the Catalan European champion awaits him on October 21. This is where Paris will pass its first very big test of the season. In the meantime, it is necessary to expedite current affairs and Chambéry is one of them. The visitors took advantage of the big Parisian meetings of the moment to hold them high. “It was almost an easy trip,” said the Savoy coach before the match. We have nothing to lose, except a game. “At the break, there were 4 goals apart (20-16) and more than 2 when they returned from the locker room (20-18). But as this PSG version at the start of the 2021-2022 season is solid, diligent, strong and that he can turn his troops, he has enough resources to avoid the pitfalls. Even more when he has a good Vincent Gérard in goal. PSG thus took place at the end of the match to win 36-29.
The player
Vincent Gérard. Often criticized last season, sometimes wrongly, the Olympic champion is still on his little Japanese cloud. Very good since the start of the season, he was once again efficient and spectacular against the Chambériens. The future goalkeeper of Saint-Raphaël, a club he will join at the end of this season, has stopped a dozen shots from Savoy as in the parade. He even allowed himself the luxury of scoring the last goal of the match in his opponent’s empty cage.
The number
3. The number of points ahead of PSG over its closest runner-up, Aix since this weekend. The only undefeated team in the championship, PSG made the hole. The other teams are already 4 points behind. Montpellier and Nantes are still 5 points behind. The championship will not escape Paris, the title holder.
The phrase
“Everyone was able to play and the score was not that close even though Chambéry ran a lot. Now we have to rest and turn our heads towards Barcelona, which is going to be a big game that we will attack in the right direction ”Nedim Remili, right-back of PSG.
