Paris Saint-Germain cruised past a sorry looking Brest side with a comfortable 3-0 win at Stade Francis-Le Ble on Friday ensuring their status as autumn leaders
The cash-laden club from Paris registered their 11th win of the 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign at the expense of Les Ty' Zefs. The win ensured the capital club to go into the winter break as league leaders, an achievement Carlo Ancelotti has described
as amazing.
“It was a good display, though not an easy game. We didn't force things too much in the first half, it was better in the second. It's a good confirmation of our excellent form. The scoreline wasn't important. It was important to win, and we won well with
a good display and attitude. We were solid and showed good quality on the pitch. Everything's good now.” said a delighted PSG boss after the match.
Bettor.com now takes a look at how PSG’s players performed against Brest in their last game of the year.

The Italian shot-stopper has almost nothing to do but was at his usual best when called upon.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903
The Brazilian once again showed that he is the best defender in the world with another top-drawer performance in PSG colours. His presence at the heart of Les Parisiens’ defence is a sign of relief for the boss and the centre-back was a threat on the set
pieces.

The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 through injury, and the youngster repaid the faith shown in him by the bosses. Although he didn’t had much to do throughout the game, the player made sure not to commit any
serious fouls near the box.

Another solid and commanding display from the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player. Not a flashy display from the full-back but Brest failed to make an attack from his side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christophe-Jallet-c9179
The France international justified his coach’s decision to play him instead of Van der Wiel. Jallet produced a dynamic performance down the right side and caused all kinds of trouble to Stade Brestois side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345
The France international was very quiet and wasn’t up to his usual standards on the pitch. The fact that Brest were playing more on the flanks, didn’t give Menez room to dribble past the defenders.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681
The Frenchman once again proved to be a rock for Paris Saint-Germain. Won the possession on a number of times for his side and showed the kind of performance that made him a regular starter in Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082
Failed to show the kind of form he had in recent weeks and was replaced halfway through the second half.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Motta-c34897
The return of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 international to the first-team fold has strengthened Paris Saint-Germain to large extent and Motta once against proved his worth with a dynamic display in the midfield.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073
The Argentinean has performed well in recent weeks but was far from his best against Brest at the weekend.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 international scored his 18th goal of the season but could have scored a hat-trick had it been his day. Was instrumental is PSG’s other goals as well and what a signing he is turning out to be for the Ile giants this season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zoumana-Camara-c38101
Didn’t have much time to make an impact.
Clement Chantome
Did little while on the pitch.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Gameiro-c20721
The Frenchman came off the bench and scored with his first touch.
