Present at a press conference after the victory (2-0) of PSG on the pitch of RC Lens, on the occasion of the 18th day of Ligue 1, Luis Enrique could only be delighted with such an accounting operation. With this success, the Parisians are, in fact, 8 steps ahead of OGC Nice. A perfect evening for the Parisian technician, delighted by the performance of his team. Facing journalists, the former La Roja coach detailed his tactical plan with the hybrid positioning of Carlos Soler and Warren Zaire-Emery in the right lane…

“I was not annoyed (by the positioning of Soler and Zaire-Emery, editor’s note). I was delighted. If I gestured, it was to give a lot of directions to my players and to help them. Lens is one of the best pressing teams in Europe. We wanted to disrupt their habits in this area a little by alternating deep attacks with Zaire-Emery, Soler or Dembélé. This is what happened in the right corridor. I liked our control and the unpredictable aspect of our attacks for the opposing team”admitted the ex-Barça coach.
