After conceding a draw against the Bretons at the end of January in Ligue 1, PSG will try to get rid of the Brestois this Wednesday, February 7 to reach the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France.
PSG – Brest, third act. After winning on Breton soil (3-2 at the end of October), Paris Saint-Germain conceded a draw at home (2-2), in Ligue 1, on January 28. A poor performance for Luis Enrique’s men who conceded two goals in the second half. Today, the two clubs meet in the Coupe de France where the winner will qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition. As a reminder, the Parisians qualified in the previous round after a large victory in Orléans (1-4). Facing the Bretons, the Parisian coach will be without five players: Lucas Hernandez (suspended), Lee Kang-in (still at the Asian Cup), Nuno Mendes (injury), Presnel Kimpembe and Milan Skriniar. Eliminated from the CAN with Morocco, Achraf Hakimi was back in the group this Tuesday. The right side should nevertheless be preserved.
At a press conference, Luis Enrique looked back on the Brest season and the two confrontations so far: “We had difficulties against Brest in the championship match. But that was to be expected. We need to work on the ideas and principles that will allow the players to raise their level of play. We expect a match difficult, Brest knows how to hold the ball, as we know how to do, but it will also be a different match, since it is the Coupe de France.” Asked about his team’s season, the Spanish technician said he was satisfied: “We are aware that we can be better in certain aspects. But today I can only say positive things. We are facing high-level opponents, who are having a good season. It’s a difficult championship. “I’m happy with what we’re doing as a team. But it’s normal, like every team in the world, that we have times where we’re not as good. I want to stay positive.”
On the Brest side, the superb season continues. Well clinging to third place in Ligue 1, Brandon Chardonnet’s teammates are traveling to Paris to create the feat. For this gala poster, Eric Roy will make some changes: suspended, Pierre Lees-Melou should be replaced by Jonas Martin and Coudert should logically take Bizot’s place in the cages. At a press conference, the Brest coach focused on the recovery of his players before facing PSG: “Before playing this match, PSG has the advantage of having 5 days of recovery, we only have 3 and they are playing at home. It goes by quickly, we have the impression of having played Nice yesterday. We put a lot of physical intensity against them. But we want to be involved in this match, a tough match against a big away client. That’s how it is, we’re going to have to achieve something.” For the technician, this round of 16 in Paris is not a turning point in the season: “We know this Paris team from having played them recently. So no surprise. There won’t be any overtime yet, but we’re not going to go to penalties. After this match of the Coupe de France, we also have the match against Clermont in the championship. It’s often the 3rd match in a week which is the most difficult.”
