The experienced French coach believes that the new PSG coach is no better than the previous one.

PSG drew on their first official outing of the season. At home, the Ile-de-France team could not get rid of Lorient despite an outrageous domination (1002 passes made). Despite this misstep, Luis Enrique, the team’s new coach, received a lot of praise in the media.

“It seems like before Luis Enrique it was the desert”

Many observers hailed the metamorphosis of the Ile-de-France team. His new ability to defend together, the taste for effort and the desire to asphyxiate his opponent. Compliments that a certain Frédéric Antonetti considered disproportionate.

Speaking on Canal+ on Sunday evening, the Corsican technician appeared very upset. “It looks like Luis Enrique arrives in a desert. Last year, there was already a collective. It was complicated just in the defensive animation. Offensively, it was fine. So we just have to find a compromise with the offensive animation”.

Nor does Antonetti agree that Paris is better off without its stars: “ I can say that against them, with Strasbourg, we sweat a lot. It was the World Cup that killed Paris’ season.

Mbappé is preparing to return to the Parisian team. Antonetti is not sure, however, that this will solve the problem of sterility of the champions of France. “Leonardo once said something very true. It’s that Mbappé is a scorer, but he needs passers. This is what it takes against the grouped defenses, players like Messi or Neymar to make the difference.
