Pressure builds on PSG players, coach and director despite late win ... (The Guardian)

A 95th-minute goal from Lionel Messi helped PSG dodge a fourth straight defeat but all is not well at the club.

With Alexandre Lacazette missing, Moussa Dembélé returned to the team and scored the opener, but Auxerre – who had won just one of their previous 19 league games – scored twice just after half-time and held on for the 2-1 win. He is a master at identifying cheap, leftfield signings who are capable of playing at a higher level and have major resale value, so his relatively modest targets at Monaco and Lille suited that skillset. PSG’s two closest challengers are well coached and efficient teams with swathes of quality – they should be challenging PSG, or any team in European football. His relationship with the squad is also seemingly strained. They can win a game or two, but they need the other PSG players.” Those big stars seemingly disagree. Although his spells at Tottenham and Manchester United look better in hindsight, his initial strengths – his charm, fierce siege mentality and ability to strike up close bonds with players – have morphed into a cantankerous, argumentative and often toxic persona. PSG operate in an entirely different market and primarily need elite players who will have an impact at the highest level immediately. [won the game for PSG 4-3](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/19/neymar-carried-off-before-messi-free-kick-clinches-psgs-4-3-win-over-lille) but it did little to mask the team’s continued disjointed form, which has come at the worst possible time for Galtier. Mourinho’s style as a man-manager who coaches with a pragmatic strategy puts him in a similar category to Zidane, Ancelotti and Galtier, but his genuine successes are fading. They are experienced and strategically astute managers, but lack the flair, tactical innovation and overarching ideas to rival managers such as Julian Nagelsmann or Pep Guardiola. However, his relative lack of gravitas and elite playing experience are major deficiencies.
