PSG to make changes with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar. This season, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) may implement a tactical change featuring Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe. With 47 points from 19 games, Paris leads the 2022–23 Ligue 1 standings by three points over Lens in second place. The team has, however, been in a bit of a rut since the 2022 FIFA World Cup concluded, suffering two losses in their last four league games.
Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe are currently having an outstanding 2022–23 season. The Argentine superstar has 13 goals and 14 assists after 21 games, while the Brazilian has 16 goals and 15 assists through 24 games.
On the other hand, the former Monaco player has scored a staggering 25 goals in 24 outings. Journalist Loic Tanzi of L’Equipe claims that PSG head coach Christophe Galtier plans to alter from his preferred 3-4-2-1 system to a 4-4-2 one.
Galtier intends to use Messi and Mbappe as the offensive front two if the Parisians buy a right winger in January, with Neymar on the left flank. Given Mbappe’s ability to finish and Messi’s creativity, the two are expected to work well together on offense. On the other side, Neymar has a lot of experience playing a variety of roles.
As prospective replacements for Pablo Sarabia, PSG is monitoring Lyon winger Rayan Cherki and Chelsea striker Hakim Ziyech. The Spaniard completed a permanent transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month for a sum of around €5 million. The Parisians’ next game is set for Sunday at the Parc des Princes against Stade de Reims in Ligue 1. (January 29).
Former PSG star Jean-Michel Larque criticized Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar for their lack of defensive efforts on Rothen enflame. He stated the issues facing the Parisians as follows: “The performance of Sergio Ramos crystallizes criticism, but I wouldn’t want to pin all the problems and the duties of an uneven team on one player. In terms of tactics, we frequently discuss an unbalanced squad that has three elite attackers who are unable to defend.”
Because the PSG leaders’ attention is continually on the players in front, he continued, “There is a defense that is still in significant difficulty in my opinion.” You only win a tournament when you have individuals who can make a difference, but you only win a large competition when you have a competent defense, Larque claimed, asserting that his former club’s UEFA Champions League campaign is in jeopardy owing to their over-reliance on the offensive trio.
He went on: “However, PSG lacks a defense that inspires confidence in a strong showing in the Champions League, from Gianluigi Donnarumma to Ramos to even Marquinhos occasionally. And I pray I’m mistaken.”
