PSG coach Luis Enrique affirmed on Saturday that he was “convinced” that his team would “succeed”, three days after the defeat against Newcastle (4-1) in the Champions League, adding that he needed to “look for the best way to play” ahead of the trip to Rennes in Ligue 1. “You know how many years I have been a coach at the highest level? Several,” he declared. “Sometimes the coach makes mistakes, sometimes it’s the players. I have to look for the best way to play.”
“Football is a game of mistakes, for everyone. We all make mistakes. I have confidence in what I see. I am convinced that we will succeed,” continued the coach, whose choice of a 4-2-4 system was called into question following the heavy defeat at Newcastle in the second round of the Champions League. According to Luis Enrique, “the result does not at all reflect the difference between the two teams,” but “the mistakes cost us goals.”
“Kylian Mbappé is not Superman or a normal player”
“In my career I have lost by large margins a few times, but this was a strange match. I liked the attitude of my team,” emphasized the Spanish coach. “The game ideas have to allow us to dominate the match. We want to win trophies, I’m not afraid to say it. If we don’t succeed, I will be the one to blame.”
Asked about the form of Kylian Mbappé, Luis Enrique assured that he was “100%”: “Players go through different states. He’s neither Superman when he scores eight goals nor a normal player when he doesn’t score. Not everything is black and white, there are nuances. He’s a decisive player for us,” he added.
