#how do you do that. how do you let di maria and paredes go and bring in. idk vitinha soler ruiz or w/e those are

You know what psg are missing? Besides a midfield and recognition of their own footballing level? A genuine unhinged lunatic. Argentina had at least 7 and they have a world cup, it's just simple tactics.

TEARS paredes was literally the complete package: creative midfielder + understands messi's play + unhinged boca genes propelling him to chaos incarnate status on the pitch he truly had it all 😩 but pissg wouldn't know sexo even if it hit them with a chair since they don't play barbaric football like south americans so </33

That's not fair comparison. Messi has friends at psg. Neymar, Di Maria and Paredes. He's not doing it for the money.

You're kidding me right? Of course it's a fair comparison. Neymar had friends at psg too. Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Di Maria. Didn't stop you all from bullying the fuck out of him when he came here anyways. And let's be real, Messi doesn't have to come here. He's a free agent. He could very well lower his saleries and go anywhere else but he won't because $$$ and there is nothing wrong with that but I find it rich how y'all are trying really hard to pretend he isn't joining psg for the damn money just because you know acknowledging and accepting that makes you all hypocrites.

PSG’s Champions League Match

So, tomorrow we’re playing Leipzig in the semi final of the champions league. Navas will be out, Marco might play half the match if we’re lucky, Gueye is probably out too, and the referee hates us. It all looks very daunting all things considered, and not having Navas really deals a heavy blow to the team, but I still want us to keep our heads up high and believe in the players. Remember how happy were when we beat Atalanta? I’ve never seen such elation, such joy on their faces. They were so freaking happy and I just want that for them. So even if we are out of form, can’t stop getting injured and somehow always find ourselves against this referee when we least want it, I still say we got a shot at this.

If the boys don’t fuck up, if Tuchel doesn’t experiment too much, if we don’t collect ridiculous cards, and if Neymar and Verratti keep their cool and don’t start fights, I think we can hope. Champions league has always been our Achilles heel, so I get why a lot of you are worried, and to be frank, so am I. But worrying ourselves sick doesn’t help anybody.

This is Thiago’s last season with us. I want the team to send their captain off with the highest determination they can give him. So even if they don’t win tomorrow, all I ask for is that they play well and keep on going till the end. I want them to leave their hearts on that pitch, to not come back with any regrets about their performance, and as long as they can do that, I’ll be proud of them no matter what.

Now, tactically speaking, with Gueye out and Marco unable to play the whole match I guess we’ll drop Neymar to the midfield and put him with Herrera and Paredes. Between Ney and Paredes I think we’ll have enough creativity to move the ball forward and in that sense, Marquinhos can drop back down to defense; which we desperately need reinforced.

I’m more worried about Herrera though. He doesn’t hold onto the ball as well as Gueye and box to box passing isn’t his strong suit. But he is a solid central midfielder all things considered so I’ll hope that’ll be enough.

I have more faith in our attack. With Di maria coming back, and Mbappe being match fit, we at least have people to trust up front. Whether we start Choupo or not, having Kylian up front whom Neymar can send through passes to, and Kylian himself making those dangerous runs behind the line, will open up our attack so much more. Angel will also be able to drop back and collect the ball if needed since Neymar and Kylian can often leave the midfield exposed when they go on the attack. I just hope Di maria comes back in his best form and doesn’t do that thing were he holds onto the ball for way too long.

Anyways, that’s my two cents about the upcoming match. And I really hope things go well because watching Tuchel scream with sheer joy, watching Marco stumble down the stairs with childish glee, seeing Ney and Kylian hug it out on the pitch; relief written all over their faces, admiring Choupo’s beautiful finish touch..... I just want to see that again. I want them to be that happy again. I don’t care how little other fans like us, I don’t care how much they hate this team, I don’t care about gas/oil money (high horses much? When your teams out there wearing Nike products). What I do care about is the team. I care about Thiago Silva’s last season as our captain, I care about Tuchel who somehow has managed to make this disjointed club into a team, I care about Neymar finally getting the chance to play the CL, I care about Mbappe proving time and time again the amazing player he is, I care about Verratti finally seeing the light at the end of the psg curse, I care about Navas having his efforts pay off. I care about psg. Nothing more, nothing less.

So, let’s root for them like we always do; with our cynicism and flickering hope. Let’s believe in them because no matter how many times they’ve let us down, they somehow always manage to capture our hearts.

Go get them PSG.

And I’ll say it again.

ICI C’EST PARIS!
