Laurent Blanc cites lack of concentration following first Ligue 1 defeat

Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has highlighted his team's lack of concentration as they suffered their first Ligue 1 defeat of the season at the hands of Guingamp.

The Parisians went down to a first-half goal from Jeremy Pied at the Stade du Roudourou, with the PSG boss blaming his side's collective and individual misgivings for the loss.

"The reality is that this afternoon there was a lack of collective and individual concentration," Blanc said after the game.

"This is our problem. In a team there are leaders, and when it's not going the way you want, these leaders and also the coach, of course, they have to raise their game to ensure that the collective do too.

"Here we must say that tonight we are all put in the same bag, including me, because we have not been able to respond, although in the second half we could have equalised."

PSG find themselves in second place in the Ligue 1 table, one point behind current leaders Marseille.
