Chapter 187 The French National Derby Comes Again

After losing to Real Madrid again, Paris Saint-Germain lost all the last three games. Two of the three losses were against the powerful Real Madrid.

It is also because of the loss to Nancy in the league. After 63 rounds of the league, Paris Saint-Germain, which currently has [-] league points, has slipped to second place in the standings.

At the beginning of this season, the ambitious new chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi set the goal of winning the league season, invited Leonardo to join him as the sports director, hired the famous football coach Carlo Ancelotti to coach the team, and introduced many powerful new players at all costs during the transfer window.

The team's current league results are not bad, and it's not that there is no chance to win the league championship trophy. It's just that it is much more difficult than before losing to Nancy, but in the eyes of the fans, these could have been avoided. The team should not have given up the top position. There is no reason.

The fans are dissatisfied, and the club executives are also dissatisfied. They feel that the current performance of the team will give people a sense of falling short, so Leonardo is under a lot of pressure, and Ancelotti is under even greater pressure. The team's performance is not ideal, and the morale of the players is low.

Among them, some media took Ancelotti’s predecessor, Compaole, as an example. In the first half of the league season, it was because Nancy’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain gave Compaore’s “dismissal” a fuse, and the loss to Marseille completely made the club’s top management’s patience with Compaore reach a critical point.

Now, everything seems to be a reincarnation again. Paris Saint-Germain under Ancelotti’s coaching also lost to Nancy, and the Italian will lead the team to face Marseille.

With hot topics, the warm-up before the French National Derby becomes more interesting.

There is enough warm-up, but the pre-match predictions for this French national derby belong to the "heroes" from all walks of life.

The media who support Marseille believe that Paris Saint-Germain, which has lost three games in a row, has completely fallen into a trough recently. The team lost its fighting spirit after being taken away by Montpellier. Confidence is better than Paris Saint-Germain, and it is not impossible to double-kill opponents this season.

In the hearts of the media who support Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille is also in an extremely difficult situation compared to Paris Saint-Germain, which has been in poor condition recently.

Secondly, this round of national derby is played by Paris Saint-Germain at home. Paris Saint-Germain, which has a home court advantage at the Parc des Princes, is bound to have a bonus in combat power, and Marseille is even more ominous.

In addition, a small number of media believe that the two teams will end the derby with a draw, because the two teams can be said to be brothers and sisters recently. They both lost in the Champions League and were double-killed by their respective opponents.

In addition to predicting the outcome of the game, many media also regarded Wang Zi as another hot topic in the national derby.

In the derby against Marseille in the first half of the season, Wang Zi performed well throughout the game and also contributed a pass and a shot at the Velodrome Stadium. Although Paris Saint-Germain was reversed by Marseille with a score of 2:3 in the end, all two goals of the team were inseparable from Wang Zi. This shows the importance of Wang Zi in the national derby at that time.

But time has passed and the two teams met again. Although Wang Zi's scoring drought has broken, his scoring efficiency is still not high. Therefore, whether Wang Zi can regain his scoring status in the national derby has become a hot topic among fans before the game.

-

At the pre-match press conference, Ancelotti and Wang Zi appeared together in the interview hall, not because Ancelotti deliberately brought Wang Zi to the pre-match press conference, but because it was Wang Zi's turn to attend the team as a player representative.

There is no way, the rules set by everyone together, whoever's turn is whoever wants to participate, can't do it.

Now that Wang Zi was here, he couldn't escape the rounds of bombardment from the reporters on the scene.

When asked whether he would reach the state he had when he participated in the last Derby, Wang Zi just kept a polite smile and replied: "I will know tomorrow." There is no other extra words.

A reporter from L'Equipe asked: "As a player who has already participated in the National Derby, how do you feel about playing again?"

In this regard, Wang Zi did not hide his feelings, saying: "I am very happy, because I know what a national derby in a national league means. Although I can't describe such a national derby in words, it will always be unforgettable to play in such a match."

"If the team can win, I will definitely be happier. Of course, I will do my best to help the team beat the opponent."

"..."

Afterwards, Wang Zizai answered a few more questions, but all he said were irrelevant.

As a result, the reporters could only turn their targets to coach Ancelotti.

In the interview, Ancelotti said: "The result of tomorrow's game is difficult to predict. We and our opponents are likely to win. Both teams have a chance."

As soon as these words came out, the reporters at the scene recorded them verbatim. With these words alone, they could write a "good work" afterwards.

At the same time, the reporters at the scene had the same idea in their hearts, that is, Ancelotti was preparing for public opinion in advance for his uncertain result after tomorrow's game.

Not only that, Ancelotti also praised Deschamps later, saying: " Deschamps has a huge influence on Marseille. He can bring a positive attitude to the players. Marseille with Deschamps is a strong team."

Praising the opponent's coach before the derby made the reporters on the scene puzzled, because for Ancelotti, who has participated in many other league derbies, it is obvious that such a move should not be made.

On the other side of the press conference, Marseille coach Didier Deschamps did not praise Ancelotti, but he also affirmed the strength of Paris Saint-Germain. He said: "The strength of Paris Saint-Germain has increased a lot this season. They have very good players. If we want to win in the end, we must be vigilant against all the players in Paris Saint-Germain."
