High Heat and Intense Pressure: Toulouse-PSG Clash in Ligue 1

Skriniar not serene

The Slovenian defender is forced to clear for a corner in front of his goal, under pressure from opposing attackers. Toulouse gets a second corner in stride.

Aboukhlal goes against

The Moroccan international tumbles down the right before crossing. It does nothing, but the TFC stays high.

PSG is struggling to put its game in place

But the defensive replacement remains interesting. Desler is caught in the Parisian pincer movement, between Lee Kang-in and Lucas Hernandez.

A dangerous first free kick for Toulouse

It’s badly negotiated by Suazo’s left foot, the Parisians will be able to restart. But the TFC players set up high pressing and very quickly recovered the ball.

Toulouse does not intend to suffer

Unlike Lorient last week at the Parc des Princes, the Toulouse do not hesitate to evolve very high on the ground to thwart the progress of the Parisians towards their own camp.

It’s a trend that’s emerging

The Parisians are very aggressive from the kick-off, we have seen them project themselves in numbers into the opposing half of the field, they are already confiscating the ball.

Let’s go to the Stadium!

Without Kylian Mbappé or Ousmane Dembélé, both on the bench, Paris Saint-Germain have just kicked off this match counting for the second day. The Parisians are looking for their first success of the season.

Finally no Nasser Al Khelaifi

Finally no Nasser Al Khelaïfi at the Stadium, the president of PSG changed his mind at the last moment.

How Parisian players will handle the heat this Saturday

The Parisian players will take off in a few moments from Le Bourget airport in the direction of Toulouse. To mitigate the effects of the heat, the club’s nutritionist has planned to prepare specific drinks with electrolytes (to avoid starting the match already being a little dehydrated) that they will drink during the day. On top of that, each player has a hypertonic solution, a sachet that they take like a gel, two hours before the game.

In addition, a cooling break is provided during the game and at half-time, with additions of carbohydrates to regenerate the bodies faster.

Suffocating heat in the pink city

“Mbappé against TFC”. The front page of La Dépêche du Midi announces the color for the evening meeting between Toulouse and PSG in a packed stadium (33,150 spectators expected). A “meteorite approaching” in the pink city where last weekend was organized the big night of the stars.

But on the spot, another element is added to this shock: the heat. A heatwave orange vigilance was launched yesterday in the Haute-Garonne department. For the start of the match, it should be 33 degrees! As the encounter progresses, it could go down to 31 degrees.

The probable line-up of PSG

Suspense around the attack lined up in Toulouse. We will have to get used to it this season, Luis Enrique likes to maintain the vagueness around his team compositions. This first trip of the season to Toulouse proves that this “tradition” is already in place in Paris. A doubt remains in attack on the presence, from the start of the match, of Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. For the rest of the team, Lee Kang-in could be started again, but one line lower. In defense, Marquinhos should regain his captain’s armband from the start of the game.

The probable line-up of PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez – Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Lee – Dembele, Ramos, Mbappe.
