Rabésandratana « I want to highlight Abdou Diallo«
“I want to highlight Abdou Diallo after his solid performance yesterday against Dijon. Defensively, he was not too busy, it was against the last in the Championship it is true, but he showed seriousness and professionalism. And of quality. That’s what Mauricio Pochettino says about him. In the game, we saw him very active on his left side. He delivered some good crosses, he was a passer on Moise Kean’s goal. His relationship with Kylian Mbappé has been good too. There were sequences, we look for each other on the side. For comparison, when Bakker plays, there is not this connection with Mbappé, who prefers to lean inside the game. “
Rabésandratana « It’s not too positive for Bakker, but it is for Diallo ”
“It’s not too positive for Bakker, but it is for Diallo. He had been good on the axis, there he was good on the left side. His versatility will be able to serve the team in secondary matches, or to replace Kurzawa if he is not available, while waiting for Bernat of course. This is good news for Pochettino. It was a bit of a substitute game. They all scored points. Diallo, Draxler, Rafinha, decisive passer, and even Kehrer got a penalty. Everything has been positive. The result against Bordeaux on Wednesday night. ”
Abdou Diallo had a very good start to the game. Aligned as left side to blow Layvin Kurzawa, 28, he did not disappoint. Decisive passer in the 6th minute for the first Parisian goal. He combined a lot on the left (strong side of PSG) with Moses Kean et Kylian Mbappé (20 and 22 year old forwards). He was the one who tried to dribble the most (7), that is to say if he feels confident despite his poor playing time. He remains a fairly safe player, and Mauricio Pochettino can count on him if he does not get injured, to participate in the Parisian rotation.
It is good to see the substitutes succeed in their games. We hear enough that there is a large and quality group even if we have not always seen this on the ground. Against Dijon, everything went well, confidence was able to regain the players lacking playing time and Pochettino breathe new life by winning with a totally overhauled team. Rabesandratana also points out that others ” substitutes »Scored points, « Draxler, Rafinha, decisive passer, and even Sweeper who got a penalty« . It is a pleasure and we hope that it will continue in this direction, because the PSG cannot stabilize its team because of multiple injuries.
