Thursday's tactical session at La Turbie felt different from usual. The magnetic pieces on the board illustrated PSG's formation—a 4-4-2 that appeared simple but concealed intricate movement patterns that had challenged even stronger teams than Monaco this season.
Yves arranged the pieces carefully, holding onto thoughts he couldn't share. PSG would finish second this year, and their season is a masterclass in consistency that few recognize until May. They were strong without being spectacular, organized without being defensive, and dangerous without being obvious.
"They're not the team people expect," he told the squad gathered around the tactical display. "No marquee signings, no media hype, but they're second in the table for a good reason."
