What a good football team needs?

A good football teams consists of good Players but a more important factor there should be great co-ordination play between these players.

Not because they have good players, but they play keeping in mind the rival team, the current squad on the field and according to the type of competition. Not all the players in these teams are the best, of course they are good, but the best quality they possess is co-ordination. Also, the manager of the club plays an important role as well.

D.C. United 1 – 1 PSG

PSG 2 – 2 FCB

AC Ajaccio 0 – 0 PSG

PSG 0 – 0 Bordeaux

PSG won only 1 match out of 7 matches they played (including Club Friendlies) [0 Lost, 6 Draw]

What do the fans look at?

The fans first check whether the club won or lost. The talk between the fans is about winning: how many matches did the club win? How many did they lost? Or how many matches resulted in a draw?

The signings made by PSG will only prove profitable if PSG wins more matches than their previous seasons’ results.

But there’s still a lot of time to see if PSG goes on to make history…
