This Saturday the fires are broken in the French soccer, with the dispute of the Super Cup of France the same that for the first time will be played outside Europe and so the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Center in Shenzhen, China, has been chosen so that the Parisian champion opposite AS Monaco.
PSG:
As you know, Unai Emery left the coach bench of the Parisian team after his UEFA Champions League bad luck, because in his participation in French football he won everything.
So who has arrived this season to take charge of the team is Thomas Tuchel and for now the results in the preparation stage have not been the best, as they lost to Bayern Munich 3-1, then Arsenal England beat them 5- 1 and happily in their pre-season closing managed to beat Atlético de Madrid 3-2 thanks to the goal of Postolachi in the last play of the game.
For many these results are understandable since Tunchen still can not count on all their power, as their top leaders such as Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar are still on vacation for their participation in the 2018 World Cup Russia, and they are They are joined by defender Presnel Kimpembe and goalkeeper Aphonse Areola, but what is worrying is their poor performance in defense after receiving ten goals in these three games.
Monaco:
Meanwhile, the performance of those led by Leonardo Jardim has not been among the best either, so the painting of the principality began the preseason with victory over a modest Polish side like Ruch Chorzow whom he beat 3-0 and then came another victory against Brugge from Belgium but tighter with a 3-2 score; after that they have chained a string of bad results losing to Paderborn and Hamburg, and tied two goals against Bochum; that is to say Monaco, although he has shown effectiveness in attack, in defense he leaves much to be desired when he receives ten goals in his last four games.
Like his rival on the turn, the cast of Monaco also presents losses for this game, first his main man in attack as the Colombian Radamel Falco continues on vacation for his participation in the World Cup Russia 2018, like the defender Djibril Sidibé and Croatian goalkeeper Danijel Subasic.
They are joined by the absences of Brazilian Fabinho, Portuguese Joao Moutinho, and Frenchman Thomas Lemar who are no longer part of the team.
In terms of direct confrontations Monaco continues leading the series by two wins, but in recent years it is PSG who completely dominates the direct games. Thus, the Parisians won the last six direct games and the last direct match ended with a 7-1 win.
Possible alignments:
PSG: Buffon; Marquinhos, Lass Diarra and Thiago Silva; Nkunku, Lo Celso, Verratti, Rabiot, Kurzawa; Moussa Diaby, Di Maria.
Monaco: Benaglio; Pierre-Gabriel, Glik, Jemerson, Serrano; Tielemans, Aholou, Pelé; Ronny Lopes, Jovetic, Baldé.
