Chapter 68 Champions League Playoffs
In order to prepare for the UEFA Champions League play-off against Rubin Kazan, Paris Saint-Germain assembled in mid-July and arranged three warm-up matches while adjusting the lineup. The results of the games were good. Under the adjustments made by Compaole, the whole team slowly began to make good progress. Although there were still problems, it was much better than when it started.

As Paris Saint-Germain’s first official Champions League game is approaching, as the team’s head coach, what will happen to Combore’s first European day in the new season? This topic seems to the French media. The victory over Rubin Kazan should not be a big problem. For the clubs in their own country, the media are generally optimistic, especially the "Paris Metropolis". The same is true.

An article in a non-sports newspaper such as "Paris Metropolis" was approved by most people in the capital after it was published. Whether they are fans or not, proud Parisians think it is right anyway. It is not a problem at all to win the playoff against Rubin Kazan and enter the Champions League.

While the media was warming up for the UEFA Champions League play-off, Combore didn't have any intention to appreciate these articles, because he was still worrying about the squad and starting list for the first round against Rubin Kazan. With the addition of new aid and the young players promoted by Paris Saint-Germain B team, the current Paris Saint-Germain first team has a total of 26 players, and Compaure needs to exclude eight of them from the game. It seems like a simple subtraction problem, but it is not easy to do it Yes, because in the eyes of Combore, all the players in the current first team have the strength to enter the 26-man roster, otherwise he would not put these players in the first team.

Choosing the starting roster is the first entanglement for Combore. The second and most difficult entanglement is the team's starting roster, especially in the current team where the old and new players have not been well-knit for a long time.As a head coach, these choices are actually something that Compaure is very used to. Of course, the preliminary plan is also constructed in his mind, but it is specific to each person, which makes the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain start to struggle.

-

Two days before the start of the game, after the recent observation of the training players and the joint discussion with the coaching staff, assistant coach Clement also announced the team's roster and starting list after the training that day.

In the 18-man roster, old players like Wang Zi, Nene, Morris, and Sacco were all properly selected. There is no suspense, and new players like Matuidi, Pastore, Sirigu, Mene, and Gameiro also appeared on the roster without any surprises. First, the new players are in good condition.

The selected players showed no unnecessary expressions other than being calm. For them, this was a normal thing. However, the few players who failed to make it to the squad showed rich expressions. Some looked disappointed, some felt envious, and some were aggrieved. They felt that they should be included in the squad regardless of training or state.

After reading the roster, Clement announced the team's starting 11-man roster for the match against Rubin Kazan.After Compaure struggled for a while, reason still prevailed, and the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain chose a conservative and relatively safe starting lineup.

In the starting list announced by Clement, most of them still use the team's main players from last season. Wang Zi, Nene, Chantome, Sakho, Bodmer and Thierne are all the team's starters for the next game.

In terms of new aid, Mene, Pastore, Biševac, and goalkeeper Duchesz Duche all came to the starting lineup smoothly, while Gameiro, Morris, Sirigu, Erdinck and others were placed on the bench by Combore.

Although not in the team's starting list, when assistant coach Clement announced the starting lineup, those who were not selected for the starting lineup, especially new players like Gameiro, still didn't see much emotional change on their faces.

Compaure has been observing the expressions of each team member. Seeing that no one is particularly emotionally fluctuating, as the head coach, he nodded in satisfaction, thinking that it would be very effective to have individual talks with individual players in advance.

-

"Hi everyone, welcome to the 2011-12 UEFA Champions League play-offs. Tonight, Paris Saint-Germain and Rubin Kazan will face each other. The first round will be held at the Parc des Princes. My partner Joan Lu and I will explain the game to you." As the game began, Patrick Guillo took the lead in talking about the opening remarks.

As soon as Patrick Gillo's voice fell, Yoan Lu also greeted him and said, "Hi everyone."

"..."

"Okay, the game has officially started, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

"Compaure, who continues to serve as the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain in the new season, has chosen a 4-3-3 formation. The starting goalkeeper is Duchesz Douchet, who was transferred from Rennes. The four defenders are Bodmer, Sakho, Bishevich and Thiere.

"Paris Saint-Germain, playing at home, chose a starting lineup dominated by the team's main players for more than one season. This summer, the Qatar Sports Fund became a new shareholder of Paris Saint-Germain. BeIN Sports President Nasser Al-Khelaifi became the new chairman of the club. Leonardo became the team's sports director. Before accepting the position of Paris Saint-Germain's sports director, Leonardo took over from Benitez as Inter Milan's head coach in the second half of last season."

"With the strong capital of the Qatar consortium, Paris Saint-Germain has transferred a large number of new players this summer. Each new player has good strength, but in this game, the head coach Compaure did not put all these new players in the starting lineup. Presumably there are still problems with the team's running-in. This should be the focus of Compaure's next strengthening."

"The starting lineup for Ruby Kazan follows...."

The pace of the game was not fast, and Patrick Gillo took advantage of this opportunity to say a few more words.

"From Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup, it is not difficult to see that Combore's tactical thinking is more stable. Facing Rubin Kazan's three-forward formation, Chanthom can retreat in time in defense. Paris Saint-Germain, who chooses four defenders, will not appear to be too busy in defense. After all, the team has an advantage in numbers on the defensive end.

"On the central axis, Nene and Chanthom, the club's hard-hitting main players last season, occupy the two starting places in this game. Among them, Compaore has sent Pastore as their midfield partner. Two attacking midfielders and one defensive midfielder, Combore remains stable."

"Finally, the front line. Wang Zi and Mene appearing on the two sides is something I expected, but what surprised me is that the one standing between them will be Varo. I thought Compaore would choose Gameiro as the team's starting center. Even if Gameiro is not familiar with the two new teammates or cannot be the team's standing center because of his height, he should choose Morris instead of Varo."

"If I have to tell the reason, I think that putting Varro in the starting lineup may be because he performed well in the team's pre-season training and is in good condition. It may also be that the head coach Compaole deliberately wants to give Varro another chance to perform. As his favorite disciple when he first led Paris Saint-Germain, Compaure inevitably still has some special care."

After Patrick Gillo, Yoan Lu continued to do his best work, and the two still cooperated with each other as they did last season.

-

In the continuous commentary of the two commentators, the game situation on the field has also changed. From the perspective of the situation, Paris Saint-Germain, which has the advantage of the home court and has the upper hand in strength, played more proactively. In the opening ten minutes, they were pressing against Ruby Kazan to attack.

Nene, who dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, was forced to transfer the ball horizontally to Pastore, who had already run to his right to meet him, under the attack of two Kazan Ruby players. Pastore, who easily caught the ball, pushed diagonally along the side.

The rapidly rolling ball and the fast-running Wang Zi headed towards the bottom line of Ruby Kazan at the same time. In front of the corner kick area, Wang Zi stopped Pastore’s through ball with his right foot facing the left, and then dribbled the ball laterally.

There was a "wall" in front of him, and Wang Zi didn't intend to break through any more. He directly picked the ball to the middle of the penalty area. The first point the ball looked for was Varo who was in front of the goal. However, the French didn't take advantage of another big brother from Georgia. The 190cm-tall Kvirkvilia just rushed in front of Varo, who was two centimeters taller than himself, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Although the ball left the penalty area, the second point is still controlled by Paris Saint-Germain. Nene, who was in front of the penalty area, received the ball on the ground, and then passed the ball to the penalty area with a big kick. He was still in Varo’s position. This time, Varo did not miss another opportunity.

In the small penalty area, Varo ran to the left of the goal and hit the net with a header!
