Can the Ibra Lead PSG to the Promised Land of Glory?






Another day, another wonder Ibra smacker. The tie between PSG and Leverkusen is over by the way. My German friends have to somehow gather FIVE goals away from home to go through....I will be surprised if they can get more than one. So....as PSG march on, can they actually do it?





There are some big players in the team, with PSG having one of the best defenders in the world. Then there is Lavezzi, Cavani and other individual talents...but all eyes are on if IBRA CAN BRING HIS A GAME TO EVERY GAME. That is PSG'S main chance of victory. This Swede/Eastern European is just so influential and effective when he wants to be that he is capable of deciding games all on his own.
  The thing holding back this PSG team is the fact that none of the players have that experience to draw upon of having won the trophy and knowing what it would take to do so.It also doesn't help having Blanc as your coach...can you rely on him to make astute tactical decisions when need be?




There is also the Cavani factor, and he was brought in to support Ibrahimovic and for them to form a formidable strike partnership that would spell double trouble for defences. The issue is that these are two players who are probably better suited as lone strikers...but if by some miracle, Blanc can actually get these two feeding off each other...then that is an asset that could actually be very useful for them. Because I am a guy that believes in the good old philosophy of two or even three strikers and really adding some meat when a team goes out to attack. 

I just think a unit like Bayern, Madrid and Chelsea are far more cohesive with managers or players who have already been there which will give them an edge against PSG when the matches come down to those crucial moments and who flinches first. But I go back to Ibra and say if he DECIDES he wants to really impact the game and fully applies himself....he id VERY hard to stop.
