“In a meeting between the players and the staff, Neymar reassured Tuchel about the minds of the attackers to progress to 4-4-2, reports The Team. The meeting did not take place immediately after Real, but following the trompe l’oeil success in Montpellier (3-1), December 7. Tuchel talks with his players about their current difficulties. It’s about a improvised meeting. The German tells them that he has nothing against aligning them together in a 4-4-2, but as long as they make an effort for each other and fallback races. Neymar basically lets go: “OK, we will make the effort. ” Since then, the fantastic four have been making efforts, as Neymar had promised, and PSG has been flying over its matches. It remains to be seen whether this configuration, even with an irreproachable state of mind of Mbappé, Di Maria, Neymar and Icardi, remains viable in the Champions League, against high-level adversaries.
As Abdou Diallo trained Friday, the PSG has an empty infirmary. Kimpembe and Silva also being restored. But the “Precautionary principle should prevail, comments the sports newspaper. Parisians are training this morning.”And The Team offers this eleven Sunday against AS Monaco : Navas – Meunier, Marquinhos, Silva or Kehrer, Bernat – Gueye, Verratti or Paredes – Di Maria, Mbappé, Icardi, Neymar.
During the period 2020-2024, the TV rights for Ligue 1 will be from 1.153 billion euros per year. It remains to define a distribution system. “At the last meeting of the L1 college, which was held on December 11, sixteen of them (with the exception of PSG, OL, OM and Nice) have indeed announced that they have found an agreement to distribute TV rights, informs the sports daily. In details, they want to get out of the current system and set a distribution key from 1 to 2.35 (the difference between the worst and the best), while it is much less egalitarian today (from 1 to 3.2). […] The sixteen clubs concerned want the surplus obtained (the 400M € additional compared to the current contract) be shared equally. Clearly, the twenty L 1 clubs would each receive around € 20M more, regardless of their past, current ranking or notoriety. ” A principle that is not likely to pass to the cadors of L1 ..

“Seen from Paris, it will be the business of the century, seen from Milan, an Italian robbery. The probability that Mauro Icardi be a PSG player next season borders on certainty ”, assures The Parisian since the club is contractually decision-making (paying loan of € 5 million with a purchase option of € 65 million). “Paris and the star’s entourage got along on the salary of the first season, but also on that of the four optional years, which took several hours. No clause modifies this process. The goleador is therefore already “virtually” under contract until 2024, provided that Paris “presses the button”. […] Loan with option to purchase includes a deadline, which remains secret to this day, to exercise this right.“
The Ile-de-France newspaper also refers to the transfer of Kylian Mbappé because PSG still owes 35M € to Monaco. “For the balance of any account, the club of the principality must wait for an extension or transfer ”, Explain The Parisian because PSG paid € 90 million in 2018 and € 55 million in 2019. “The only scenario that would result in the non-payment of this sum of € 35M would be that he would end his career or go to the end of his contract.”

Release is interested in PSG in mode four attackers: “What is clear: when Tuchel spoke of impossibility, he was not addressing the press but his attackers, way of putting them on notice to prove him the contrary. […] The barycenter of power leans so much towards the attackers in the locker room PSG that Tuchel or Leonardo can always pretend not to hear. In addition, we imagine Doha and the VIPs filling the boxes on the evenings of delighted matches in front of the show offered for three weeks. In short: full sun. We revive an old idea: a showcase club, while shining, living in the moment and the joy the endless months that separate the start of the season from real sporting events: the knockout matches of the Champions League. If that doesn’t announce the big European nights since the idea of fragility remains, it doesn’t ruin anything either. ”
