Too tender, the players of OGC Nice against Kylian Mbappé's PSG?
Even if the Niçois developed a good game on Sunday, their best performance perhaps since the resumption of Ligue 1, they were defeated (0-3) and they lacked "aggression", according to Patrick Vieira after the meeting .
“I would have liked us to put a little more pressure on the Parisians.
We respected them a little too much.
The players were warned for Mbappé and Di Maria ”, authors of the first two goals of the meeting and very fit after having tested positive for Covid-19, detailed the world champion.
"See if our workforce is large enough or not"
“Aggression is a character trait that we can identify on a player and that's what we have to work on,” said the Aiglons coach.
We will ask ourselves the question with Julien [Fournier, director of football] to see if our squad is large enough or not.
The transfer window is open until October 5.
The Gym, which "made a lot of mistakes on the defensive level" by Patrick Vieira's own admission, has been overwhelmed several times by the Parisians, Mbappé and Di Maria in the lead.
Right-back Youcef Atal, who has returned from injury for two games, has paid the price.

Errors that the lack of offensive success of the Niçois did not compensate.
“We managed to create clear chances for ourselves,” repeated the coach.
But some players are not yet at their best, they will improve.
"We were much better off than in Montpellier [3-1 defeat]", for his part analyzed midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.
But against PSG and Mbappé, it was not enough.
