The weeks pass and PSG does not seem to be progressing. Worse, in certain sectors of the game, the capital club is regressing.

Shortly after the Champions League group stages, which saw Paris Saint-Germain laboriously emerge from their group, Luis Enrique promised that his team would improve. “I believe that in February we will be stronger”declared the Spanish technician after the capital club’s draw against Borussia Dortmund (1-1).

We are now in February and it is difficult to say that the former Spain coach was right. “I find that there is an identity problem in this Parisian team. The coach is obsessed with control while the team seems so comfortable in transition… I find that the team is regressing in content with and without the ball. It’s a bit worrying”judged Giovanni Castaldi on The Channel L’Equipeafter the narrow victory (1-2) of PSG in Strasbourg.

Ambient nervousness

Luis Enrique exudes a certain nervousness, and not only when he has to answer questions from journalists. “I see that Luis Enrique is getting more and more annoyed on the pitch, notes the sports journalist. For example, there were a few exchanges with Captain Marquinhos on ball exits. »

Before the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, against Real Sociedad, the Ile-de-France club will still have the opportunity to linger for two matches. On Wednesday, it will host Stade Brestois for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, before hosting Lille next Saturday in Ligue 1.
