Paris Saint-Germain, leader of Ligue 1, faces Toulouse this Friday to open the 12th day. A slight turnover is expected on the Parisians side.
He hasn’t played for three months, and his absence has been widely felt. By seriously injuring his ankle, Gonçalo Ramos lost none of his credit, he even gained some in the eyes of the supporters and his trainer Luis Enrique. All observers have detected PSG’s lack of weight in the opposing area this season, particularly on the European scene. A profile like that of the Portuguese would bring a huge plus to the game of the Ile-de-France residents. Endowed with the characteristics of a pure center forward with a passing game, generosity in efforts, a great presence in the air and a speed of execution in the zone of truth, the former Benfica player has without doubt no equal in the Parisian workforce. These good training sessions during the break should help him return to competition in the coming days.
Gonçalo Ramos still a little tight
However, his coach remained evasive about his possible return this evening against Toulouse.He is in the final period of his recovery. When will it be available? I don’t know, I’ll see him in training. He’s already very good. All we have to do is refine it so that he can participate (in matches). Same for Kimpembe and Hernandez. Ramos is a bit like the profile of Kolo Muani, a finisher. Players who will provide continuity, but their preference is to play in the area. They have a good defensive level. That’s why we signed him.” said Luis Enrique. A speech which tends towards caution and which should further favor the tenure of Marco Asensio in front of Barcola.
The Iberian coach should nevertheless choose the right men for this opposition against Toulouse based on the state of fatigue of his protégés following the international window. This day after the break is always special. We must not only take into account the match against Toulouse, but also the load of minutes in the national team. We will make the necessary decisions because this match is the priority objective.” The physical criterion is not, however, the only evaluation parameter for him. My only concern as a coach is that the players are tired, they have played a lot and that concerns me. The first message I give to my team is to reconnect with the club. If they try other coaching methods, that’s the life of a footballer. You have to adapt to the coaches.”
A solid TFC defensively
PSG, which trained in the snow yesterday in Poissy, will be deprived of Nuno Mendes while Ousmane Dembelé, injured in the thigh against Angers, could start on the bench. Opposite the Toulouse side, Carlos Martinez Novell should have his contingent of fifteen internationals called up for selection, but the late returns of American defender Mark McKenzie and Chilean full-back Gabriel Suazo may encourage him to modify his central defense. As a reminder, Toulouse (10th ranking) remains in three matches without conceding any goals.
