Poor PSG won Brest by the minimum

PSG remain difficult in the league, although sometimes they only do what is fair. Against Brest it was a bureaucratic task, a rather lazy management, but it was three more points that strengthened him in the lead (1-0). The same of Neymar in the first half he resolved a clash in which the breakdown in the team was seen for a week, still shocked after a win against Juve that once again placed him among the candidates for the continental throne.

After the glamor of the Champions League, PSG struggled to find motivation against Brest. As progress in the past, Christophe Galtier he made two changes to his usual eleven. The French rested Marquinhos already Nuno Mendesbut rotation still does not affect Mbappe, Neymar Y Messi. The first half, grey, did not invite applause. Brest defended itself, holed up waiting to surprise a counterattack.

There was an action that could change the script of the game. The referee sent Herelle after a foul because he was the last man in a dizzying PSG game, but VAR noticed that Neymar started offside. Soon, the Brazilian responded thanks to help from Messi in space. The unique control of Neymar This is half the goal. He lays the ball down, rubs it with his right hand and executes it to the left: 1-0.

Brest barely threatened on a chilly afternoon, with little rhythm. The score, meager, forced PSG not to give up. Meanwhile, the jinx of Messi facing the door. The Argentine has lost count of how many times he has finished the woodwork since his arrival at PSG. Unfortunately in that aspect, he found it again after ending up in a care center Mbappe. A Leoagain, you lose a luck point.

Despite being 1-0 down, a more conservative Brest held the lines against a PSG with problems within the game. During game time, Christophe Galtier he was given an alternative Fabian Ruiz rather than Verratti. The local team’s lack of specificity was punished: a careless lack of Kimpembe in the place summoned Donnarumma to show off The Italian, victorious, stopped the penalty on Slimani. With nothing to lose, Brest stretched into the final quarter of an hour.

Despite the fact that PSG could not breathe easy until the end, Christophe Galtier its roadmap has not been changed. A quarter of an hour before the end of the game, he replaced Mbappe already Neymarbut left Messi on the pitch. The management of the minutes is not in question but it is mandatory to get to the best conditions at the peak of the season. The achievement is not brilliant, or even remarkable, but the math is what matters. PSG return to the lead.
