Asked after the lost match against Arsenal on Tuesday, Luis Enrique gave a response full of contempt when it came to his tactical choices.
While passing their first real test this season, PSG suffered their first defeat of the season on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium. Weighed down by two approximations from Gianluigi Donnarumma, the French champions lost 2-0, displaying obvious shortcomings despite better observation in the second half.
The choice to play once again without a professional center forward was paid at a high price by the capital club but when it came to his tactical choices, Luis Enrique was not very talkative in front of the journalist from Canal+, in the Rencontre issue. True to his bad habits when dealing with the press, the Spanish coach even made fun of his interlocutor.
The response to Luis Enrique’s message
“Do you know how to explain my tactical idea? No, I do not intend to explain the tactical approach before your collection. We’re going to have to correct a lot of things, the team needs to correct a lot of things. But I don’t intend to explain that. »he said in a scathing tone. And the former midfielder was not more charitable when it came to Ousmane Dembélé, removed from the group by the Catalan technician after a heated discussion on Saturday, the day after the victory against Rennes.
“What changes Dembélé’s absence? Mhhh… (He shrugs). And the team? Uh… (He shrugs his shoulders),” he whispered, showing himself to be more deserted when admitting his team’s difficulties. “The match, in terms of intensity, is now very tough, with strong aggressiveness from Arsenal, particularly in terms of pressing, a danger for Arsenal, who are now in a superior period in the first period of the duel. In the game 2-0, the match changed, it was a more skin piece and we a more piece depending on the field. On this point, Arsenal has a winning record”he agreed.
