Paris Saint-Germain was very hot. Once again, as the Champions League returns, the capital club seems petrified, regardless of the opponent. And this evening, Real Sociedad’s XXL first half damaged the Rouge et Bleu. Unable to escape the Basque pressing, Luis Enrique’s men only managed to breathe after Kylian Mbappé’s opening score.
And at half-time, the walls of the Ile-de-France locker room shook. Like all observers, Luis Enrique was not enchanted by the performance of his players. Questioned after the match, captain Marquinhos also confided that the Spanish coach had taken his players back so that they would have a burst of pride when they returned from the locker room.
Luis Enrique reframed his troops
“We had a lot of difficulties in the first half. It’s a team that has a lot of mobility and commitment. We knew it was going to be difficult. The coach pulled our ears, we talked to each other. In the second half, it was much better. We knew that if we managed to get out of the dry cleaners, we would have space. The coach was very angry. Luis is someone who always tells us the truth”declared the Brazilian on Canal+, before continuing. A rant confirmed by Bradley Barcola.
“He asked for more intensity, more movements, to talk between us”. Marquinhos concluded: “He motivated us a lot to have this personality to get the ball out and find spaces. He gave us some advice. The first part of the objective is accomplished. But it’s not over, we must keep the same state of mind. Continue to play well in the championship to win there. » See you on March 5 for the return match.
