PSG coach Blanc regrets not scoring against Real Madrid
Paris: French club Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) coach Laurent Blanc has said he regrets the failure of his side to score against Real Madrid away at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, despite his side having already secured qualification for the Champions League knockout stages as Group A runners-up.
PSG were beaten 0-1 at Madrid on November 4. PSG are second in Group A with 10 points from five matches, three behind Real Madrid.
“The fact that we will not finish first in our group is down to our lack of efficiency in attack against Real Madrid. I hope we will not come to regret this game later on in the tournament,” Blanc said in a press conference on Monday held on the eve of PSG’s clash against Ukraine’s Shakhtar Donetsk in final round of the group stage.
PSG face Shakhtar in a Champions League match on Tuesday.
“We have benefited from the experience we have gained over the past few years. The gap with the big clubs is smaller than before. Hopefully we can completely close it one day,” Blanc added.
The coach also said he will take advantage of qualifying to the next round by implementing a rotation policy amidst several injury problems in the squad.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
