Still a solid leader in Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain took another step in defending its title by winning against RC Lens on the last day (2-0). Also qualified in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, the capital club hosts Stade Brestois this Sunday, on behalf of the 19th day of Ligue 1. And this, less than three weeks before the first leg of the round of 16 as well expected in the Champions League, against Real Sociedad, on February 14.
In front of journalists, Luis Enrique was questioned generally about his attacking trio. And on this subject, he wanted to praise the latest interesting performances of Bradley Barcola (21 years old). “When we recruit a player, we have to see how quickly he adapts and we don’t take age into account. We don’t take age into account. It’s normal for players to experience ups and downs.he explained about the ex-Lyonnais, who started in the last matches, except for the two rounds of the Coupe de France.
Luis Enrique expects the best from his attack
“I like having young players, the objective is to improve players so that they adapt to my playing profile. As a coach, my objective is to make everyone progress. What I want are players who have desire, ambition, regardless of age”, he added. But the Spanish technician took the opportunity to unleash a little dig at his other attackers, in competition with Bradley Barcola. Luis Enrique estimated that the Barcola-Mbappé-Dembélé trio should not be the best Parisian attacking trio.
“If it’s the best trio? No, I don’t think so, I hope not. I hope the strongest trio is yet to arrive. Whether with them, or with other players. I am very happy with the attitude of my attackers. But, if we want to aim for all the titles, we must count on all the attackers, that they come out of their comfort zone and that they be even better. This is the key for me”, he blurted. As a reminder, Luis Enrique should line up against Brest a three-way attack with Randal Kolo Muani in the center, Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé on the sides, in order to give playing time and give Kylian Mbappé some breathing space.
