In the hard since the start of the season, the central defender of Paris Saint-Germain Presnel Kimpembe experienced a real ordeal on the lawn of RB Leipzig (2-2) on Wednesday in the Champions League. Caught on the opening scoring and at fault on the conceded penalty, the French international seems physically overwhelmed.
Presnel Kimpembe led PSG.
Presnel Kimpembe is going through a difficult period. A bad patch which is also starting to last seriously for the central defender of Paris Saint-Germain. Much less efficient since the start of the season, the French international multiplies disappointing performances.
Again Wednesday, the Parisian was simply a weak link for the capital club on the lawn of RB Leipzig (2-2) during the 4th day of the group stage of the Champions League.
Kimpembe in the hard …
From the start of the game, the Habs showed their limits with difficulties physically existing in duels. Passed, the 26-year-old was punished very quickly for his delay in opening the scoring of the German team signed Christopher Nkunku. Suffering cruelly from the comparison with his partner Marquinhos in the axis, Kimpembe then carried out many very limited interventions with in addition difficulties in his reminders.

Physical fatigue?
Noted 2/10 by the writing of Maxifoot (see Dbrief and Notes here), Kimpembe simply confirmed his recent difficulties at this European meeting. For several weeks, the Parisian has alternated between average and poor performances. But he does not seem the only one responsible for this situation… Because we know it, the central defender continues to play, with an infernal rhythm, despite a painful ankle.
Except that Pochettino can not count on Sergio Ramos, injured, and visibly does not trust Thilo Kehrer or Abdou Diallo in this role. Thus, Kimpembe, despite his insufficient performance, remains the most used Parisian player in this 2021-2022 financial year: 1436 minutes of arguments with only the Reims match (0-2) to breathe (comes into play 15 minutes).
