The Paris Saint-Germain coach was present at a press conference this Tuesday, on the eve of the Coupe de France round of 16 against Brest.
Despite a well-identified playing identity this season, with high ball possession, Paris Saint-Germain still has areas for improvement. On the European scene, the capital club may have found itself in difficulty against opponents who covered more kilometers in a match. A consequence of Luis Enrique’s game project? The question was asked to the Spanish technician this Tuesday.
Called to comment on this statistic, Luis Enrique did not hide his annoyance. “ I see that the question is to look for sketches to destroy the castle, I love it, he said. My teams play possession so that the opponent runs. We normally run less than the opponent since it is proven that if you have the ball and move it well, the opponent will run. I have nothing else to say on the subject“.
Luis Enrique evokes “somewhat empty thoughts”
To support his point, Luis Enrique stressed that his previous teams have always met his expectations in terms of volume of play. “In my career, there has not been a single team that did not cover sufficient meters to win matches. From there, it’s somewhat empty reflections that seek what you want to seek. Perfect. My opinion remains the same. » The message got through.
