We present to your attention the announcement of the match of the 3rd round of the Champions League group stage in the C quartet between PSG and Napoli.
PSG - Napoli Wednesday, October 24, Paris, Parc des Princes, referee - Felix Zweier (Germany) The bout in Paris will be a very serious challenge for the wards of Carlo Ancelotti. In the previous round, they also opposed one of the favorites of the current tournament draw and last year's finalist - Liverpool - and at the same time got the victory. Nevertheless, it is always easier to play in home walls, even with such a serious team as mersisaytsy. Another thing is the departure to one of the most successful teams of the Champions League of recent years, which, moreover, is in fantastic shape and hungry to win.
In the match with the Parisians Napoli, first of all it will be necessary to try not to let the home team play their football. If Paris gets space on the flanks and feels insufficient density in the middle line of the opponent, the bout can be completed for the Neapolitans. There is no doubt that the team of Thomas Tuchel will try to play the first number and already in the opening duel will rush to the attack. In turn, it will be very important for Napoli to act as compactly as possible, impose a physical struggle and realize their chances in fast counterattacks, which, given the far from sinless line of defense of Parisians, will surely arise.
In this match, PSG can count on all of its attack stars, including the rested Neymar, who along with Thiago Silva and Tom Meunier did not take part in the Saturday match of the French Championship against Amiens (5: 0). Flank defenders Leven Kurzawa and Dani Alves will not help the team, but both are in the infirmary for so long that the Parisians have long learned to do without them..
Napoli has a more serious staffing problem.. Last week, Fawzi Ghulam, Lorenzo Insigne, Amin Younes and Alex Meret returned to the general group, but all of them are still very far from optimal conditions, therefore it’s hardly worth counting on their participation in the match..
