PSG secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Valenciennes, with Edinson Cavani scoring the decisive goal in the 47th minute. Despite a challenging and forgettable match, coach Laurent Blanc acknowledged the difficulties faced both on and off the field, including injury problems.
Blanc highlighted the demanding schedule, noting that the recent match against Monaco consumed a lot of energy, and the team had only three days to recover. Losing Thiago further added to the challenges.
However, Blanc found a positive aspect in the improving relationship between Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, particularly evident in the build-up to the goal. Looking ahead to the next match against Toulouse, Blanc expects a similar challenge and emphasizes the current issues in the team’s axis.
Blanc expressed satisfaction with the commitment of key players like Ibrahimovic to extend their time with PSG. He sees it as a testament to the club’s ambition and project. Despite the difficult circumstances, Blanc appreciates the contributions of star players like Ibrahimovic, citing the match-winning class action that made a difference against Valenciennes.
