While PSG could be crowned champion of France this Saturday against Angers, Luis Enrique delivered a disconcerting statement at the press conference. The Spaniard has recognized a recurring weakness in his team: the defense on a stopped kick.
“We do not defend in a sensational manner on the set kicks”he said, before fully assuming his choices: “I prefer to have an offensive team. »»
If this fragility did not prevent Paris from dominating Ligue 1, it could weigh very heavy in the Champions League, where the details often make the difference. In less than a week, PSG will face Aston Villa in the European quarter -final. A formidable team on the stopped phases, which could take advantage of this flaw recognized by the coach himself. A form of high risk admission, while the requirement rises.
Luis Enrique balances a bomb before Aston Villa!
Luis Enrique, faithful to his vision of football, does not bother. He prefers to take the risk of a defensive imbalance to offer offensive game. “1m90 players cannot play like Vitinha”he justified, as if to recall that everything is a matter of compromise in the construction of an eleven. A way of defending its game policy, even if it is exposed to criticism in the event of failure.
Luis Enrique reveals a weakness that could cost dearly
Internally, some observers do not hide their concern. PSG could finish undefeated in Ligue 1, break several records, and yet reveal a disturbing vulnerability in major meetings. The recent fright against Dunkirk in the French Cup, where two goals have been conceded on stopped phases, is the most recent example.
The Luis Enrique team impresses by its striking force, carried by an Ousmane Dembélé on fire, but will have to correct his gaps if he wants to go to the end in Europe. Paris no longer has the right to make mistakes. And now his opponents know where to strike.
