Following their lavish spending in the summer it is evident that PSG are willing to go an extra mile in persuasion of their objectives, and on top of their agenda is to win the prestigious Champions League
Following the takeover of the club by the Qatari Investment Agency, Paris Saint-Germain have transformed from an ordinary mid-table club to genuine a Champions League contender, in the wake of several high-profile arrivals at Parc des Princes this season.
This summer window has witnessed the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moura-c26908, Van der Wiel and Marco Verratti, arrive at the capital club to join the Paris revolution. And now, there are varying views on Paris Saint-Germain’s credentials
in the European competition this season.
Most people believe that the Parisiens still need few more years to rival the likes of Real Madrid, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, Manchester United and Bayern Munich in Europe. However, on the other hand, there are few who feel that the Ile giants are good enough to be crowned
kings of Europe in this very season.
Carlo Ancelotti
One of the many reasons why Paris Saint-Germain can win the prestigious Champions League competition this season is the presence of Carlo Ancelotti at the helm. The 53-year-old has been involved in a number of Champions League competitions with some of the
best clubs in the continent, and has the valuable experience to guide PSG on multiple fronts.
The Italian knows how to handle a bulging squad and his rotation policy is sure to keep players fresh and in form, allowing Les Parisiens to play in more than one competition at once. In addition to that Ancelotti’s experience will be vital when Ile giants
take on some of the best sides in the world and will bolster Paris Saint-Germain’s chances of winning the prestigious competition.
Quality Squad
Next if we look at the quality of players PSG have at their disposal at the moment, it won’t be a crazy idea to tip Carlo Ancelotti’s side for European glory.
An attack led by one of the best strikers in the game, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is sure to cause opponents all kinds of trouble on the pitch. While the Swede’s presence in the attack will be a cause of worry for other teams in Europe; a midfield composed of players
like Menez, Pastore, Lavezzi, Gameiro, Matuidi, Verratti and Chantome, will help Paris Saint-Germain in any way possible to get closer to their target of winning the Champions League.
In defence, the presence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903, arguably the best centre-back in the world at the moment, tells us about the ambitions of the capital club. And the late addition of the Dutch international, Van der Wiel, has only strengthened an already strong
Paris side.
Favourable Group Draw
Despite being in the third pot, Paris Saint-Germain’s group draw was a favourable one and they avoided any of the top teams in the group. The Parisiens have an excellent chance to progress through the group stages and are in strong position to avoid the
likes of Real Madrid, Manchester Untied and other teams topping their groups.
With abundance of cash at their disposal, PSG can still recruit few more players in January if deemed necessary. And critics, who have written off Les Parisiens’ chances of performing well in Europe this season, should think again.
