Paris Saint-Germain held to 1-1 home draw by Saint-Etienne
Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani has been backed by manager Unai Emery to fill the gargantuan void left by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
September 9, 2016 at 21:45, in the next match 4 round of the First League of France, at the stadium “Parc des Princes” football club Paris Saint-Germain will play against Saint-Etienne.
“One player who did leave was defender David Luiz, who headed back to Chelsea on deadline day, leaving Emery short of defensive cover”. He knew my position, then he spoke with the club and he obtained his agreement.
So in the championship PSG won 1: 0 and 0: 2, and in the cup game, PSG won with a score of 1: 3, respectively.
Emery plans to use Serge Aurier as an emergency center back option, although captain Thiago Silva is nearly fit to return from a hip injury and make his first PSG appearance of the season.
Talented young central defender Presnel Kimpembe is expected to move up to third in the pecking order behind Silva and Marquinhos after David Luiz’s departure, while Aurier is expected to be fourth on that list because of his ability to fill in there in the past. “He can help the team if needed”, he said.
Rabiot is hoping to establish himself in Emery’s first-team plans this season and harbours ambitions of wearing the captain’s armband one day, but he also has a strong desire to play in the Premier League and would consider heading back across the English Channel if the opportunity presents itself.
“I would be a dream to extend my contract here, but we have to agree”. We will not rush him.
The home side were without Serge Aurier, Thiago Silva, Javier Pastore and Maxwell. On Wednesday, he had a good training session. But I want all players to be 100 per cent. “He will show his qualities when he returns”.
“I love this country, even though people often try to get me to say mean things about France and Ligue 1”. I told him to be calmer.
Emery admitted his relief that there will be no more player moves as he feared more situations similar to Luiz’s last-minute exit.
“What I want above all is that he participates in the development of the game when we have the ball”.
