PSG started his Japan tour off on the right foot. Leo Messi, also. No30 of the French team with a shot with the least capable foot opened the account against Kawasaki Frontal in a 2-1 away win. The team led by Christophe Galtier applies to everything this year.
With Neymar and Kylian Mbappe on the pitch, it was the Argentina captain who made it 1-0 after 32 minutes of the first half. It all started with a cross from the left by Bape, which landed at the feet of Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan, without thinking, gave a touch to Messi, who from the right beat the defense of the local goalkeeper. They had taken it out on the line before, though this time he had a vengeance.
Before the complement began, Galtier took out several of his pieces although he kept Lionel on the field. Rosario would leave in the 62nd minute for Mauro Icardi, who doesn’t seem to be in the plans for the new DT. Before being replaced, PSG extended the gap with a win Arnaud Kalimuendo, one of those who entered. In the 84th minute, the Japanese team, champions of the league in 2021, would make a discount through Kazuya Yamamura.
This was the first of three friendlies scheduled for the Parisians: on Saturday 23rd it will be their turn to face Urawa Red Diamonds (champion of Japan Super Cup 2022) and on Monday 25, vs. Osaka shrimp. Before traveling to Japan, PSG had beaten Ligue 2 side Quevilly 2-0 with goals from Sergio Ramos and Djeidi Gassama.
TARGET! Messi built a wall with Bernat and the Spaniard flicked in a cross for Calimuendo to push home to send PSG 2-0 up against Kawasaki Frontale.
