praise from Paris-Saint Germain coach Laurent Blanc
after the 3-0 win over Guingamp.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc was not surprised to
see Zlatan Ibrahimovic back among the goals as his side beat
Guingamp 3-0 at the Parc des Princes, and called for patience
as the striker's season warms up.
Ibrahimovic scored PSG's third to open his account for the
season, much to the relief of the home crowd.
The Sweden striker also had a penalty saved as the champions
dominated their opponents, with Javier Pastore scoring the
opener and Angel Di Maria grabbing a second.
Blanc reflected on a much-improved performance from his
side's 1-1 draw with Reims at the weekend, saying: "Zlatan was
more in movement than during the Reims game.
"You have to be patient with him then you'll see that he will
score goals. You don't have to be surprised.
"He is a great player and he wants to demonstrate it, to confirm
it and even to stamp it for the sceptical few."
Blanc praised the link-up play between Ibrahimovic and Di
Maria, who fed off each other all evening against Guingamp.
"He is getting along well with Di Maria on the pitch," said Blanc.
"Great players always find a way to understand each other. It's
also the case with [Edinson] Cavani. We have an attacking trio
composed of very different players with different qualities."
Guingamp coach Jocelyn Gourvennec reflected positively on his
side's performance, saying: "A wider margin of defeat would
have been harsh.
"There are no regrets with this match. We had opportunities in
the first half.
"We should not be ashamed of this defeat. They will be
champions.
"There are five days left for us to prepare for a very big match
against Monaco."
