Division 1 Féminine 2023/24: Jocelyn Prêcheur’s Tactical Changes That Led PSG To Victory Over Paris FC – Tactical Analysis

Sunday evening saw the Parisian derby being held between Paris FC and Paris Saint-Germain.

For the interest of this article, from now on, I will refer to Paris FC as Paris and Paris Saint-Germain as PSG.

Paris came into this game following a major midweek win against Spanish giants Real Madrid, vital points in what is being dubbed the group of death.

However, in the league, they came into this game sitting in second place, six points ahead of PSG; PSG??still have two games in hand.

Much like Paris, PSG came off an important midweek win against Roma in the Champions League.

In the league, they have also been in good form, although dropped points in a 1-1 draw against mid-table Le Havre a week prior.

In this tactical analysis, we look at some key tactics that helped PSG gain an advantage over Paris in this vital top-of-the-table clash.

This analysis will cover how the Paris press caused problems for PSG in the first half and how they overcame this in the second half.

Lineups

The home side, Paris, started with Chiamaka Nnadozie between the sticks, having started ten of the eleven league games so far this campaign, including all three Champions League fixtures.

Then, at left-back, Paris played Lou Bogaert, who has been rotating game time with Alsu Abdullina; however, more recently, Soubeyrand has favoured Bogaert.
