Paris Saint-Germain travels to Le Havre for the Ligue 1 curtain-raiser this Friday (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the capital club.
After learning to live without Kylian Mbappé in the final months of last season, Paris Saint-Germain are getting down to business with their return match on the pitch at Le Havre, this Friday evening (8:45 p.m.). A match that should allow Luis Enrique to rely on a few new faces.
One new recruit is in the starting eleven: Defender Willian Pacho. Luis Enrique has several options on the table.
This year in the team there have been unusual circumstances with having players who can play in several positions, explained the Asturian. I have an exceptional midfield. All the players you mentioned, there is also Kang-in, Asensio, Ugarte who is always there. I have an infinite number of players in these positions and an infinite number of possibilities in attack with players capable of playing in several places. My difficulty as a coach is to be able to interpret what the team needs and choose the way the team is going to play.
Mbaye is the holder!
Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery start with a head start for this first match, behind a trio of Mbaye-Asensio-Ramos. Forced to deal with the later returns of certain players, Luis Enrique is therefore banking on youth with the nugget Mbaye.
“We will have to change things compared to the previous season, added the PSG coach. Before, we were going towards the goal always looking for the same player because we had Kylian who had this ease to score goals. Now, there is a whole range of incredible possibilities and we will have to exploit this range. I have already experienced this situation in other teams and also in the Spanish national team. For me, it is very exciting.
The expected line-up for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi (c), Pacho, Beraldo, Zague – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Lee – Asensio, Ramos, Mbaye.
