Paris, France – This Saturday, August 23, dem go see PSG face off against Angers for Ligue 1. PSG dey ready to flex dem muscles as dem dey hold home advantage. Na una sabi say, dem no fit carry last in this match.
The reigning champions sabi how to win, no wahala for dem. Dem don already show small signs of their strength after dem grab 1-0 win against Nantes even when dem rest some key players. But come this weekend, dem players like Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia go step back to the game like dem don recharge dem batteries. You fit expect dem to serve Angers a good beating – we dey talk 4-0 here, no be small matter.
As for Angers, dem dey face serious wahala. Dem go miss dem midfielder, Louis Mouton, as e don collect red card during dem last match wey dem win 1-0 against Paris FC. Omo, talk about bad timing! Na so dem wahala don increase by one more, making dem task even harder.
Since 1975, Angers no don fit beat PSG at all. Na 18 matches straight dem don lose to PSG. Think say dem no go try again? My paddy, dem fit just get wahala on top dis one! PSG lineup no be something wey anyone go take lightly. Chevalier, Hakimi, Marquinhos, and Pacho fit lock down any attack wey Angers wan bring.
The stats dey point to plenty goals for dis match too. Last season, PSG don score five goals against Angers for two games, wey include one encounter wey dem drop six goals total. No be joke, as 56% of dem matches last season don pass that 3.5 goals mark. With the return of Dembele and Kvaratskhelia, the beach don dey too full for Angers!
Not to mention, Angers dey suffer injury wahala too. Dem best player, Himad Abdelli, don carry injury, and wetin we go say – dem no fit catch any break. Plus, dem don lose dem top creator, Farid El Melali, wey don pack him bags this summer. Coach Alexandre Dujeux really dey chop his own head for dis matter, as dem go face PSG without good plans.
Enrique, di PSG coach, still dey juggle his defensive lineup. Will he start Hakimi, Mendes, and dem big-money new signing Ilya Zabarnyi? No matter di choice wey him go make, dem still be too strong for Angers side. PSG players fit score from anywhere. Dem dey see Dembele, Bradley Barcola, and Goncalo Ramos as dem stars, but don’t sleep on young attacker Doue. Dis 20-year-old don already show say he fit deliver when e come to crunch time.
As he don score last time dem meet, him dey poised to shine again. Whether Enrique go use am as starter or substitute, one thing dey sure – e go scatter everywhere on the field. Na so dem match dey tight, and na PSG dem wan hear make dem own ‘We Are the Champions’ tune again after di small bad vibes from last season.
