These French are crazy, but not even the British joke in terms of madness. On the night of the Donnarumma cutting, an absurd super cup is played: the Tottenham has practically already won it, thanks also to the Paperissima di Chevalier, the goalkeeper of “different profile” good at feet but in need of repetitions on the goal, and the PSG limelted it in an incredible ending. From 0-2 to 2-2, equaling Van de Ven and Romero’s goals with those of the new entrances Lee and Ramos. Two centers between the 40 ‘and the 48’ of the 2nd time, when the Spurs, too safe, or short of breath, close and let themselves be attacked by the PSG. In Udine they decide the penalties and here too the French are more precise: only one error against those of Van de Ven and Tel. Canceled the English syndrome, because it would have been the second ko in the final after that with Chelsea, the PSG, however, can only boast of the character and shake the alibi of a preparation of not even a week. But for an hour and passes it did not understand anything. More than winning the PSG, Tottenham has lost.

PSG errors

And they will have regrets in London for how to miss this cup. They had played the perfect race, even tactically, hitting lethal where Luis Enrique had been less lucid than in the past. In fact, the Spanish technician prefers Doué to Ruiz in the middle, stripping a department in which the Squalified Neves already missing, so leaving only Vitinha. Doué is extraordinary, but asking him to do the midfielder on August 13 is too much, also because behind Hakimi, rather than asking for the golden ball, he wonders who is the Spence that attacks him at one hundred 100 per hour, and Pacho and Mendes can only limit the damage. But the ugly of the PSG is also in front, with Kvara moved to the right and only nervous, a dancing barcola and dembélé that is everywhere except in the area. The real system of the PSG is a 4-3-1-2 in which Tottenham sinks its surprising 3-4-1-2 with Sarr “1” who barred Vitinha, shortens on the medians and supports the attacking couple Kudus-Richarlison. The PSG cannot develop his game and always stops on the trocar, Tottenham starts again with actions “in hand” and is dangerous.

vendetta

Luis Enrique is looking for the best goalkeeper of Donnarumma to set up and is punished by two “situations” that know revenge. Tottenham closes the first half 1-0 with a beautiful goal by Van de Ven: the action was born from a punishment beaten in midfield from vicar under the eyes of the coach Gattuso, Romero’s head, crossbar of Palhinha and goal. At the beginning of the second half the doubling of the head, still Romero, with Chevalier, the other “profile” that, poor, dusters badly and moves the ball. It seems over but it is not, because Luis Enrique undertakes to remedy the errors by deploying Lee and then Fabian and Ramos, the three who will turn the story upside down, drawing a more classic and less creative 4-3-3. At the same time Tottenham changes but does not have alternatives on the bench to the unleashed Kudus, elegant and powerful like few others, in Sarr, to Richarlison. So Frank locks himself in a 3-4-2-1 that no longer starts again. Lee from outside the 40 ‘and Ramos from 9 true to 49’, 2 minutes from the end, sign a 2-2 that means penalties.

Ribaltone PSG

Donnarumma against the shots from the spot is usually a monster, Chevalier must not make extraordinary because he only parades one, to Van de Ven, while Tel sends out. On the other hand, Vitinha is wrong, but Ramos, Dembélé, Lee and Mendes are relentless: 4-3 to penalties, and the season leaves as it was over, all against PSG. Tottenham, however, looks better than last year, awaits the return of Kulusevski, Madra and Dragusin and will not be an easy customer for the Italians.
