Intro:

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has hit back at mounting criticism of his team ahead of their match with Lille.

Script:

Under fire for their style of play, Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc had this to say to his critics.

SOUNDBITE: Laurent Blanc, PSG coach

"Some people say that our game is worse than the last year but they are not talking of the goal of a team or club which is the three points and victory and this is secondary to them."

PSG are unbeaten in 21 games and trail league leaders Marseille by a single point.

Despite that, fans aren't impressed because the side has struggled to break down teams in the French league, even with a line up that includes Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, Lucas and Javier Pastore.

"Given that we are one of the two unbeaten teams in Europe, we are relatively impervious to criticism. Maybe last year we played a bit better but we are still winning."

But that's mainly down to late winners from their stars, rather than dominating matches.

The Parisian side face a tough test against Lille on Wednesday.

Blanc isn't making any promises about a change in style.

SOUNDBITE: Laurent Blanc, PSG coach

"We are aware that we require good performances and good results. We have a large squad but we have a number of injuries."

It just goes to show, an injury free squad is still something money can't buy.
