OM – PSG: Neymar and Messi missed their Clasico, the press tackles Pochettino – eleven Mondial

Zapping Eleven Mondial EXCLUDED: The “Little Brother” interview with Matteo Guendouzi!

These are the kinds of moments in which the famous “Fantastic Four” are expected. With its fiery attack, PSG is supposed to shake all of football Europe and by definition Ligue 1. But during the Clasico this Sunday evening, no one really shone apart from a Mbappé at least stirring.

Neymar is the first target, obtaining in particular the note of 3 in the Team, which notes that the Marseillais did not even need to tighten him (only one fault suffered) while the Brazilian only won 20% of his duels in the match. Lionel Messi, for his part, appeared too isolated on his right lane and only showed a better face at the end of the match, where he refocused and displayed a good understanding with Mbappé. The Parisian also notes that the Pulga touches on average 30 less balls with PSG than with Barça!

Pochettino’s tactics singled out

The influence of Parisian stars is therefore limited and for the press, a culprit is designated: Mauricio Pochettino. “Placing Neymar in the heart of the game makes sense. But is doing it at the expense of Messi consistent? On what we saw yesterday, absolutely not. Installing the six-time Ballon d’Or in a right winger position at 34 is something quite unreal, ”writes L’Equipe, while the Parisian does not hide his surprise to see Messi in this position of pure winger . “This is where Mauricio Pochettino had installed the Pulga at the kick-off, which has not yet been a side player for a long time,” says the Ile-de-France daily.
