Fans of the lovable Magpies celebrate their triumph.
Howe has created a very strong team
The sheikhs of Saudi Arabia and Qatar have different approaches to Newcastle and PSG. The Magpies are not chasing another club of the third sheiks – Manchester City, but the young and intelligent manager Howe was given a lot of money to sign people far from the status of football superstars. Trippier is the only Newcastle player who can safely be placed in the elite group, but he is 33 years old. Guimarães is also just on the threshold of entering this category.
Twenty-one years ago Newcastle, under Sir Bobby Robson, played in the Champions League in a group with Juventus and Dynamo Kyiv. We moved on to the second round, which was similar to the initial stage of the playoffs. They failed against Barcelona and Inter Milan, but Longstaff, five, and Dan, ten, Newcastle fans since childhood, remember that season. Now the midfielder and defender have scored on goal PSG in the Magpies’ first home match of the new season Champions League.
A beautiful story, like that of Almiron, who is like the living embodiment of the hero of the film “Gol”. Five years ago the Paraguayan Miguel arrived United States of America for Atlanta United, and now has a chance to win the club’s most prestigious cup. Defender Fabian Scher, although he played a lot for the strong Swiss national team, did not receive an invitation from the giants, but at the age of 31, his falling kick underlined the advantage of the Newcastle team over PSG. The Magpies defeated the French guests.
Enrique was involved in a complex project
Luis is addicted to adrenaline and constantly seeks it. He runs marathons where you can die, the conditions are so tough. He practiced running in the desert, an extreme activity for the rich who want to feel alive, putting their health at risk. Luis Enrique experienced all this. Ultimately humiliating for defense, midfield and attack PSG match in England showed a close-up of the Spanish mentor’s sour face.
After the match, Louis congratulated Newcastle, although he implied that the score was supposedly not in line with the game. But chaos in the Parisian team has been the norm for some time now, nothing surprising or new. PSG he has been playing casually for years, occasionally switching to strong football without a common denominator: winning the Champions League. Rarely does this team play consistently throughout the season, despite the star status of many players. The difficult start to the season was not surprising.
Goalkeeper Donnarumma is always left alone to react. Gigi saves every now and then, but when the ball is wet and the shots are tricky, even the Italian European champion can’t do it. Yesterday Hakimi and Marquinhos made such mistakes that they would have been inserted into the Spartak starting team without being looked at, and they fell more or less to this level. Newcastle took the rebounds: already at this point in the match it was clear which team had the best chance of winning the final. By giving the ball to the French, the English had chances. The score for shots on goal is 8:2.
Mbappe has thrown away half his career
Kylian will turn 25 in December and is in his ninth season in football. Even if we imagine there are still nine to go, Mbappe will be 34 at the end of the period. Not everyone is as ironclad as Messi and Ronaldo. Some strong players often get injured, like Neymar and Hazard. In any case, Mbappe has thrown away half his career in the “farmers league”. Yesterday on the official page of Ligue 1 they mocked Arsenal, who lost to Lens, the fifteenth place in the French championship.
But the content of the match for Arteta’s team says that the hosts were lucky. The Lens goalkeeper blocks shots and manages to make the most of his approaches, but the Arsenal players fail. It won’t always be like this. Perhaps Newcastle itself will not be able to prolong happiness in the “death group”, and PSG will make the playoffs. The Parisians may not repeat the fate of the rich clubs who exited the Europa League or finished last in the quartet, like Atlético a year ago.
But this does not change the general conclusion about the Parisian club. You can’t buy greatness just by playing in France. But Newcastle’s total football has worked by leaps and bounds. The organization of the club, the strategy of the sporting director, the tactics of the coach and the zeal of the players together turn into victories. The Magpies have achieved 5 wins and 1 draw in their last matches. The illiterate work of managers, distrust of coaches, crazy waste and hypocrisy lead to what we see in PSG.
Parisians always escape from reality
Now they will get angry, destroy Rennes and pretend that everything is going according to plan. But insiders learned from Enrique that Verratti was drinking, smoking and dragging his companions to parties, so the Italian was sent to Qatar. Neymar performed no better and Hakimi even worse. For football stars PSG this is a “golden cage”, as Messi openly speaks. In the summer they tried to “change identity”, but you don’t become good in one click.
Kylian will throw away a precious season because he was afraid of going to Real Madrid. And now he’s thinking about how to escape to Bellingham next winter. Trainer PSG won Champions League, we have experience, we don’t exclude that over time the Parisians will play better. They beat Borussia Dortmund at home, a clue for the future. But for now, this is just a collection of footballers who, deep down, regret that fate threw them not to Manchester City and Real Madrid, but to Paris.
You can’t fool yourself. You can’t be ecstatic playing in Ligue 1 in a world of football where there are stronger leagues. It’s much easier for Newcastle, because nuclear submarine It’s an incubator for rich chickens. Hundreds of thousands of fans on the screens and 52,009 spectators in the stadium saw the competent football of the militant Newcastle, where ordinary kids rejoiced at the first matches of Champions Leagueand the ugly game of the predictable PSG with talent on the pitch and with the harsh Mbappe, who yesterday never hit Pope’s target.
