25th in the C1 League phase with 4 small points and temporarily eliminated from the competition, Paris Saint-Germain no longer has the right to make mistakes and finds itself more than ever with its back against the wall before challenging RB Salzburg , Tuesday evening, as part of the 6th day. On the pitch of the Red Bull Arena, Luis Enrique’s men are, in fact, preparing to play a large part of their European future. Present this Monday at a press conference, the Parisian technician – who succeeded Bradley Barcola – however wanted to ease the pressure.
Luis Enrique asks his players to insist
“It’s a wonderful game that awaits us, there are all the ingredients for a coach and the players of a club like PSG. We had the chance to play high-level matches in the Champions League. We’ve had bad luck so far but the goal is to win and we know the risks if we don’t. Today, no one knows the number of points needed (to qualify, editor’s note), it’s impossible to know and we don’t want to get into this game, we just have to win the three remaining matches, that’s our goal »first assured the Iberian.
Relaunched on the glaring lack of offensive efficiency of the Parisians since the start of the season (only 1 goal in the last 60 shots from the capital club), Luis Enrique did not hesitate to summon a certain divinity in exposing his “magic formula” : “It remains very clear, it’s about generating even more chances than the opponent, you have to get 20, 25 or even 30, that’s good and concede as few as possible. Our statistics are good and they are what determine our chances of winning, we must improve, we maintain confidence and we must insist, insist, insist.. Definitely complicit with the term, the former coach of La Roja once again mentioned “his formula” when analyzing a possible lack of experience among its workforce. An aspect that had been raised by Bradley Barcola a few moments earlier.
A first final
“I believe that our young players still have experience. Those who were there last season are used to high standards. I try to get the best out of the individual and the collective. I love matches like tomorrow, like in San Sebastian or Dortmund last season. These are matches where you have to win. I never line up my players based on their age but based on what I see in training and in matches. This is my formula”. Confident in his men and confident in the idea of regaining this efficiency against goal, Luis Enrique finally concluded his intervention by assuring that his PSG would do everything possible to pocket the three points.
“At this level of the competition, our rival also needs points, so that will also determine whether he moves further forward. They are a team that press a lot but whether they play high or low will depend on how we play. We always had the ball more than the opponent except in one match. Whichever I prefer, it doesn’t matter. We can play in transition as we can play against low blocks, it depends on what the opponent does.. In transition, on the counter, in a low block, in control… The bottle doesn’t matter, as long as you get drunk. That of a victory so eagerly awaited by Parisian supporters.
