Press review: PSG top of Ligue 1, Mayulu’s struggles | OneFootball

This Sunday, January 25, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain reclaiming first place in Ligue 1 thanks to OM’s victory over RC Lens (3-1) last night, the more difficult period for Senny Mayulu (19-year-old midfielder), and the call from the Collectif Ultras Paris for the presence of Marseille supporters during the Classico on February 8 (21st matchday of Ligue 1).

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

PSG doesn’t often thank OM, and we shouldn’t forget that they are also a rival (there’s a 7-point gap, which is comfortable but things can change quickly). However, it’s certainly nice to see Paris back at the top of the league; someone had to put an end to Lens’ winning streak (8).

Of course, there will be no gifts exchanged during the Classico. Nevertheless, the Parisians are advocating for the Marseillais. It’s not just to please them; the entire Classico is more exciting with all the supporters present. The same idea applies to the upcoming matches at the Vélodrome. It’s time to bring back away fans, with supporters who must ensure there will be no incidents.

As for Mayulu, he’s going through a rough patch. The sports newspaper puts forth some hypotheses, without any certainty. Yet, there’s no great mystery. The Parisian Titi has to adapt to a new status, higher expectations, and the pressure that comes with it. Not to mention, and this is key, that he has played a lot since the start of the season. It’s possibly physically demanding, and he could well benefit from the infirmary emptying out. With less playing time, but in better shape.
