Football: Paris once again power 4 against DFCO

Saturday night at the Parc des Princes, Dijon Football Côte d’Or logically conceded defeat (4-0) against Paris Saint-Germain. If the score is a habit, Dijon did not make it easy from the start of the meeting.

A clear goal, once again.

As in four of the last five games against Paris, the DFCO conceded the opening of the scoring by Moise Kean from the third minute (1-0, 3 ‘). An unfortunate habit that the DFCO has taken for a few games now, thus starting to chase after the score from the start of the match. Another problem is that Dijon has a tendency to scuttle itself, evidenced by these complicated raises as well as poor defensive placements. Paris will benefit a second time shortly before the hour mark by scoring a second goal, again through Moise Kean who offers his first two goals in Ligue 1 (2-0, 27 ‘). However Dijon could have largely returned, having obtained a few clear opportunities, in particular that inexplicably missed by Mama Baldé may after the opening of the Parisian score… Something to feed regrets.

A second balanced period until the entry of Mbappé.

Dijon will be on a par with PSG, obtaining a few opportunities in a Parisian defense that does not particularly breathe serenity. If possession is roughly equal, the statistics are misleading. Indeed, Dijon sometimes holds the ball without being dangerous, as evidenced by this sequence of play of almost two minutes during which the DFCO holds the ball, but where absolutely nothing happens. If few teams will manage to hold the ball as much at the Park, we would have preferred that this sequence of possession resulted at least in a call, or even the beginning of an action. But it will not be. Tuchel will make the decision to bring in Mbappé, who likes Dijon. The French world champion will logically go for his double in six minutes (81 ‘and 87’), thus giving a little more consistency to the Parisian success. If this match was not a priority, it will absolutely be necessary to win the next one (and the). Focus on the oh so important reception of Lorient, and on the trip to Lens before hosting Metz. Already pivotal matches in the Dijon season, especially when we know that Reims has clearly won in Montpellier (0-4) and that Strasbourg has outclassed Brest (0-3) …
