“No nos jugamos la vida contra el Dortmund, si perdemos lo intentaremos el año que viene”, afirma Leonardo, director deportivo.
Los errores cometidos en defensa ante el Lyon siembran de dudas el ambiente ante la inminente eliminatoria de octavos de final.
El Paris SG logró una nueva victoria el domingo ante el Lyon (4-2), pero su actuación dejó dudas en el ambiente sobre su nivel competitivo cuando el próximo día 18 afronte la eliminatoria de octavos de final de la Champions League, su asignatura pendiente, visitando en el partido de ida a un Borussia Dortmund que asusta.
Tras ir ganando por 3-0 al inicio de la segunda mitad, el PSG encadenó una serie de errores defensivos que hicieron peligrar su triunfo ya que el Lyon marcó dos goles y estuvo a punto de situar el 3-3 en el marcador.
Finalmente Edinson Cavani aseguró el triunfo que reafirmó una temporada más la hegemonía del equipo de Thomas Tuchel en la Ligue 1, pero en el entorno volvieron a aparecer los fantasmas de la Champions ante la inminente eliminatoria contra el Dortmund ante el temor de que los fallos del sábado puedan pasarle factura una temporada más en Europa.
Quizás en previsión de una nueva debacle del Paris SG en la Champions, Leonardo, director deportivo del club, aseguró ante los micrófonos de Canal+ tras el partido ante el Lyon que “no nos jugamos la vida contra el Borussia. Si perdemos lo intentaremos el año que viene”.
El campeón francés lleva tres ediciones consecutivas cayendo en octavos de final, ante Barça, Real Madrid y Manchester United, y nunca ha ganado el título. Y antes, desde 2013 a 2016, quedó apeado en cuartos.
Leonardo deplora la negatividad
Leonardo deploró la “negatividad” que siente “alrededor del equipo”. “Tenemos que salir de esta situación de “si perdemos, estamos muertos”. No está prohibido estar contento con lo que tenemos”, agregó el brasileño recordando que el Paris SG es líder de la Ligue 1 con 12 puntos de ventaja sobre el Marsella y que llevó a cabo una fase de grupos de la Champions casi perfecta ante Real Madrid, Brujas y Galatasaray, con 5 victorias y un empate, el cosechado en el Bernabéu (2-2).
Además, el equipo de Tuchel jugará el 4 de abril la final de la Copa de la Liga ante el propio Lyon y el miércoles jugará los cuartos de final de Copa contra el Dijon. Pero en Francia no tiene la competencia que se encuentra en Europa...
