After four days of the Champions League, PSG has its back against the wall, forced to deliver a performance on Tuesday on Bayern’s pitch or risk sinking and losing sight of qualification for the second phase of the competition – including the play-offs. “ For me, the result is unfair, but it is what it is. So now we have to have good results to qualifysaid Luis Enrique this Monday at a press conference. We made it complicated on our own. Football is only one thing: goals scored, and for that we have room for improvement. »
In Munich “ we will have to raise the level, especially when we play against an opponent of this level and we play at their homerecommends the Spanish technician. (…) We will give everything, we will go on the attack, we will be courageous, we will take risks in defense, everything else does not interest me. And if Bayern are better tomorrow, we will applaud them and we will go back to work. »
“Safonov, who knows him? »
To achieve his goals, Luis Enrique could make a radical decision in view of the signals given in recent weeks, by starting Matvey Safonov in the cage at the expense of Gianluigi Donnarumma. This was the case on Friday against Toulouse in L1, as in four of the last eight championship rounds – Luis Enrique more appreciating the Russian’s foot play, potentially more comfortable facing formations capable of pressing high.
“ I don’t see how that would solve the problem.however, thunders this Monday evening Daniel Riolo on the airwaves of RMC.
PSG, over the last ten years, has often done this thing. There was Trapp-Sirigu, Trapp-Areola… There was also Buffon, or Navas-Donnarumma. We got the shot from the two goalkeepers. We’ve played this little game a lot of times, a bit in a stupid way. I don’t see how it brought anything and how it gives confidence to a goalkeeper, whoever he is. »
And the polemicist journalist adds a layer: “ We’ve seen plenty of episodes like that in the history of PSG where we tried to create somewhat unnecessary problems. Donnarumma is perhaps not a guarantee, but who knows Safonov? Do we know how he is under pressure? Do we know what he is like in a big match? We have almost no references to him. So I don’t see how it’s smart for Luis Enrique to do this. »
