PSG have been eliminated from the French Cup and Champions League. Because the distance with Marseille has increased to 10 points, the Ligue 1 championship 2022/23 is almost in the pocket of the home team at the Park of the Princes. However, to avoid possible uncertainties with his chair, coach Christophe Galtier still has to ensure PSG play convincingly for the rest of the season. Therefore, the French military leader needs to continue to believe in the indispensable pillars.
Kylian Mbappe is always the first name mentioned. The French striker has just entered the club’s history as the best scorer in history (202 goals) and is on his way to conquering the Ligue 1 top scorer for the 5th time.
Not only Mbappe, a few other pillars such as Marquinhos, Marco Verratti, Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes or Lionel Messi, if not injured or suspended, will still be the main kick. The rest, Galtier will create conditions for substitute players to have the opportunity to play more to assert their value and keep their place at PSG. Up to now, the sub-doubles who have scored the most are Vitinha and Nordi Mukiele. Both have had impressive matches and often play stably every time they play.
Next is Soler and Ruiz, who have shone in matches against Marseille, Nantes or Brest. In a very difficult match at Brest over the weekend, Spanish midfielder Soler scored his third goal in Ligue 1 2022/23 after a brave kick and a performance that was scored by L’Equipe daily. 8 (10 point scale). Surely from now until the end of the season, Soler will have more opportunities to play.
When the Luis Campos – Galtier duo reunited at PSG (the two worked together and brought success to Lille by winning the championship in 2021), the project developed and used young players matured from the underground. Club creation is given certain priority. Therefore, Galtier actively used “young bamboo shoots” such as Warren Zaire-Emery, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Ismael Gharbi or Timothee Pembele. At the same time, PSG also want to give them development space.
However, up to this point, the young talents mentioned above are not satisfied with the meager amount of playing time this season. Therefore, at the end of this season, Galtier needs to let them play more often to avoid bleeding young talent like in the previous period.
