PSG coach Luis Enrique appealed for “calm” before returning to the Champions League next Wednesday, with the reception of Real Sociedad.
Paris Saint-Germain has ideally prepared for its round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, scheduled for Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes, against Real Sociedad. Beyond their victory against Lille (3-1), Saturday evening for the 21st day of Ligue 1, the French champions delivered a great performance on a collective level. Enough to fill up on confidence four days before the long-awaited meeting.
After the meeting, Luis Enrique was inevitably asked about the return of the Champions League. The Spanish technician then deplored the enormous pressure put on his group for several weeks.
“The pressure is on those who have already won the Champions League”
“I have the feeling, from what I perceive around the club, that we have been talking about this Champions League on television for three weeks, as if that was the only thing, thus estimated Luis Enrique. As if it was life or death. This is not the case. You have to be calm, want to, but without pressure, without anxiety. We can’t say to ourselves: “My God, there will be no tomorrow if we lose. » »
” Calm ! We are going to enjoy the Champions League, he continued. And then if the opponent is better, we will applaud. It’s not always good to have too much pressure. The pressure is on those who have already won the Champions League, we haven’t done it yet. We simply have the desire. » The message has gotten through.
