Figo Predicts PSG Victory, Kombouaré Assume Facing Undefeated PSG
On the eve of the late Ligue 1 match between FC Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain, the atmosphere is electric. Luis Figo, a football legend, gave his opinion: he bets on the PSG victory, led by Luis Enrique. The Portuguese see the club in the capital raise the Champions Cup.
At the same time, the Canari coach, Antoine Kombouaré, fully takes on the challenge. As the meeting approached, he recognized the strength of the PSG, highlighting its intensity and its pressing. He calls his team to resistance, suffering and effectiveness on the ground.
Nantes facing a PSG at the Top
Despite the defeat in the derby against Rennes (2-1), Kombouaré assembled a group of twenty-one players to face the PSG. However, Anthony Lopes is a package, forced to declare a package following a virus and injury. Alban Lafont, relegated to the bench in recent weeks, could be titularized, marking an unexpected return.
The PSG, already sacred champion of France, arrives at the Beaujoire with two important stakes: to keep its invincibility in the championship and to beat the historical record of the largest number of games without defeat outside in Ligue 1 (38 consecutive matches).
The Return of Pacho and Enrique Insurance
Ecuadorian defender Willian Pacho has had 48 hours of rest to fight a virus and is well involved in training. He is applying to a position of tenure, where he could be associated with Marquinhos in central defence.
Luis Enrique, aware of the quality of the Parisian collective, seems to have put his team in configuration “Arsenal” against Nantes, as Kombouaré pointed out. He stressed the importance of the mentality and the image that the team is sending back, stressing that the star is the team itself.
Kombouaré calls on its players to fight together, run, defend and bring success by being effective in the field. There is no illusion that the PSG could lead Arsenal, but he anticipates that this will not happen. He welcomes the transformation of the Paris team this season.
