PSG press review: Marquinhos, Kouassi, Cavani, Lille

Seen and read about PSG in the French press this Friday January 24, 2020.

Marquinhos “Will be out of the field for about three weeks due to a hamstring injury, the club said on Thursday, publish theAFP. The length of his recovery makes it doubtful his participation in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund on February 18. Previously, PSG will face Lille, Montpellier, Nantes, Lyon and Amiens in Ligue 1, and Pau in the Coupe de France. ”

In the Team of the day

“A priori, unless there are bad surprises, Marquinhos should be able to replay at least a few minutes the weekend before Dortmund, in Amiens. This would allow him to be eligible for the 8th final, observed The Team. The fact that Marquinhos did not wait before asking for his replacement helped avoid the worst. ”

Tanguy Kouassi (17 years old, 6 matches and 430 minutes played since early December) is it a crack? wonders the sports newspaper. “What arouses the interest of European sports departments in profiles like that of Kouassi is development dynamics : “By his physique, his power, his speed, he has aptitudes and predispositions for the high level, explains an observer of a European club. But what is very interesting is its progression. It is clear that technically, in its speed of chain, it has evolved a lot for months. He has been training with the pros for 6, 7, 8 months, and when he came down recently for Gambardella against Lens, he looked like he was playing with children. […] At 17, Kouassi is not an accomplished player. He must erase deficiencies in depth management and a few concentration swings. Classic imperfections for players of this age. We will then have to answer a problem: adaptation. “When you are young at PSG, you have a certain potential and you have Thiago Silva behind you, that you play alongside Verratti, somewhere, it’s easy,” continues our scout. What is always interesting to see is: are you able to do it elsewhere, in a context that is perhaps less comfortable? ”

Le Parisien 24/1/2020

“Eight days from the end of the transfer window, Cavani’s future seems to be written less and less in Paris. And his clearly declared initial desire aroused the interest of the European market, written The Parisian. Several clubs have thus come to the information, in particular Manchester United. On the PSG side, we are always procrastinating, convinced of being in a position of strength. No new proposal has been sent to Parisian leaders. Meanwhile, Cavani lives without major upheaval what could be his last days with PSG. Yesterday he was at the Parc des Princes with all of his teammates. If he didn’t attend the whole session, PSG No. 9 bowed with a smile to its obligations to the club sponsors. Like nothing ever happened.”

The voice of the North

“Facing PSG expected on Sunday with its“ fantastic four ” (Di Maria, Icardi, Mbappé, Neymar), LOSC should bet on its own quartet (Bamba, Ikoné, Osimhen, Sanches), Explain The voice of the North. Four hungry young strikers who all have good reason to shine for the season’s poster at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium. ”
