PSG has gone from disembarking in the French stadiums with the trident Messi, Neymar and Mbappé to playing with Gonçalo Ramos, Kang-In Lee and Vitinha. It's not exactly the same. Although that will be for a short time, because Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé have already boarded Luis Enrique's boat, immersed in the challenge of converting, once and for all, the constellation of Parisian stars into a true team. Mbappé is not magical and nothing will be instantaneous for the former Barça and national team coach, who has yet to win in Ligue 1 in two days.
The French star, separated from the tour of Japan recently, has been reinstated in the discipline of PSG and in his debut he scored the only visitor's goal in Toulouse. PSG's first goal in Ligue 1, after 150 minutes, was the work of the crack, who caused Nicolaisen's penalty, and transformed it. He and Dembélé had barely been on the pitch for a while.
Since June 3, Mbappé has not been seen wearing the Parisian team shirt. After another crazy summer, full of rumors, anger and pressure, the striker is still in the squad, although without renewing. But the board and Luis Enrique have chosen to want to convince him with facts (the departures of Neymar and Verratti) and with stripes on the field. The thousand fans from the capital who traveled far from recriminating him for anything, cheered Mbappé's entry into the duel.
With the match tied, on the verge of halftime, the Asturian coach sent Mbappé to warm up. Until then, Restes, the Toulouse goalkeeper, had been insurmountable. Yes, he beat Zaïre-Emery with a long shot but the VAR intervened to cancel the goal due to a previous offside.
The game was totally uneven, it was going down for PSG, and the changes ended up unbalancing it. Mbappé came on for the South Korean, Dembélé, with 10, replaced Fabián Ruiz.
If Mbappé is the hammer, the leader, the one in charge of making a difference, Dembélé is pure agitation, a screwdriver to break up any defense. Luis Enrique gave him the right wing and the ex-Barça winger didn't stop dribbling... although at the time of finishing the plays it got dark, a feeling of much ado about nothing that they know well at the Camp Nou.
Mbappé's relaunch and Dembélé's debut was not happy but bitter as the Moroccan Aboukhlal, with 5 minutes remaining, equalized, also from a penalty. Luis Enrique's PSG does not start. Perhaps that is why Kolo Mouani will also arrive for the attack
