  • Author of a nice double against Basaksehir, Moise Kean turned into the savior of PSG on Wednesday night in the Champions League.

  • Arrived on tiptoe at the very end of the transfer window, the player on loan from Everton will set up real competition for Icardi on the attack front this season.

  • Ironically, the young boy probably saved the skin of the German coach on Wednesday evening, he who was not really desired by the latter.

Like what, he doesn't just do Leonardo bullshit!

By taking Moise Kean out of his magic hat in the last hours of the transfer window, the sports director of Paris Saint-Germain seems to have once again hit the mark.

Double scorer against Dijon at the Parc des Princes a few days earlier, the boy repeated Wednesday evening against Basaksehir in the Champions League, becoming at the same time, at 20 years and 243 days, the youngest player in the history of the club to plant a double in C1.

Not bad for a kid for whom too much should not be expected, says his coach Thomas Tuchel after the victory in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

Ironically, Moise Kean certainly saved his trainer's asses on Wednesday night, any other result than a victory having certainly meant the end of the trip for TT in Paris.

"Ah, but do you speak French?"

"

Forgive us for this cliché, but it's true that everything goes very quickly in football.

Why ?

Because at first glance, the arrival of the Italian international did not really make Kazatchok dance to Thomas Tuchel, he who hoped for the arrival of a fuoriclasse scorer - type Luis Suarez - to come and push Icardi to his limits.

You only have to see the welcome given to the player by the PSG coach, who did not know that Kean was fluent in French, to be convinced.

An anecdote that recalls another, from the time when Tuchel coached Borussia Dortmund.

His leaders then recruited a player he had not requested, resulting in a press conference to tell everyone he had never heard of the player and a bench for the rest of the day. season.

This time, and it's good for Kean, the player seems to be gone for better treatment.

Moreover, if he continues to pile up goals at this rate, Mauro Icardi may have concerns.

On Wednesday, in fact, the striker saved PSG from a very poorly started evening and offered the club his first three points in the Champions League.

What better to breathe after the debacle against Manchester a week earlier and to avoid the specter of a certain crisis.

Above all, the player loaned by Everton fills a certain lack on the front of the Parisian attack, in particular by allowing Mbappé in the absence of Icardi not to fill himself with the leading role which absolutely does not suit him.

Icardi is warned

It was more or less the arguments released by Tuchel before the meeting to justify the tenure of the former Juve: “Moise can go into battle against the defenders, which Kylian does not do.

I think he will be a great support for Ney and Angel.

We know that Kylian likes to land on the left side, close to Neymar.

Sometimes a guy who stays like Icardi or Kean is missing to finish.

That's why we decided to play with two forwards to attack the last row.

"

Scorer of the head on a corner of Mbappé for the 1-0 (like what when you strike them direct instead of making grigris at the corner post, it works), Kean then carried out a superb sequence in pivot control back to goal -strike to allow the Parisians to make the break and bury the last hopes of a rather very playful Turkish team.

“It's a start, modestly dropped the player at the microphone of RMC after the meeting.

It will give me the strength to keep working hard for the next few games.

I will know how to be ready for my teammates.

"And if in addition it allows to put a little pressure Icardi - who has never been better at PSG than when he felt the hot breath of Cavani on his neck - it's all good for Paris.
