Qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, PSG is preparing to play a series of matches at a frenetic pace.
PSG did the job on Monday at Bollaert. If the Rouge et Bleu waited half an hour to open the scoring, the Parisians then rolled out to win 7-0 against the fans from Pays de Cassel.
The capital club now has an appointment with Olympique de Marseille on February 8 for the round of 16. A meeting which will take place four days before the shock in Monaco in Ligue 1 and especially the first confrontation against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
The pace is accelerating for PSG and Christophe Galtier wants to be suspicious. “There will be Toulouse, Montpellier, Reims from next week. Unfortunately the calendar is like this, confided the Parisian coach in remarks relayed by RMC. There is this draw (against OM in the 8th round on February 7, editor’s note) which will be a magnificent poster for the Coupe de France, you will have to do a great performance at the Vélodrome stadium to pass. “With the accumulation of matches we will play from next week every three, four days, he continued. We will have to be very vigilant about the sequence, the physical aspect, the management of the workforce. »
But Christophe Galtier does not intend to overuse the Coupe de France despite the shock against Bayern six days later. “Compared to the draw (against OM), to win this trophy you have to beat all the opponents who present themselves anyway. It’s Marseille, it won’t be easy, but we have the ambition to go all the way, he assured. Last season PSG did not win, this year there is this desire. To do this, OM will have to be eliminated at the Vélodrome stadium, in an obviously difficult series of matches. »
