Marquinhos Reflects on PSG's Performance Against PSV Eindhoven
In a recent Champions League match, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) faced PSV Eindhoven, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Brazilian captain Marquinhos highlighted the team's struggles in front of goal, particularly in the absence of a traditional striker following Kylian Mbappé's departure. Despite creating numerous chances, PSG's finishing was inadequate, leading to a frustrating outcome for the team and its supporters. Marquinhos acknowledged that while the team has scored more goals this season compared to the previous year, the lack of a 'killer instinct' in the box was evident during the match.
The match saw PSG take 26 shots, with only eight hitting the target, and they were denied a potential penalty in the dying moments. Marquinhos emphasized the need for calm and efficiency in front of goal, stating that the team must work on converting their chances in training. Coach Luis Enrique has been experimenting with formations due to injuries, notably using Kang-in Lee and Marco Asensio in a false No. 9 role, which has sparked discussions about the team's tactical direction. Marquinhos concluded by reaffirming the importance of scoring and maintaining composure during critical moments in games.
