Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) found reassurance in a friendly match against Rapid Vienna, securing a 2-1 victory. This match followed a previous defeat against Sturm Graz earlier in the week. Coach Laurent Blanc, in his analysis, preferred to focus on the overall preparation rather than the specific match.
Blanc expressed satisfaction with the positive results of the team’s preparation in Austria, stating, “The workload was heavy, and the players accepted it. The results of this preparation in Austria are really positive. We had almost perfect conditions. It went very well. We had a lot of fun, and I think they deserved their two days off.”
The coach’s emphasis on the positive overall preparation suggests that the team is in good shape as they approach the upcoming season. The players’ acceptance of the heavy workload and the positive atmosphere during the preparation contribute to the sense of reassurance for PSG.
