At the heart of a very busy period, optimism is the order of the day within the ranks of Paris Saint-Germain.
Between uneven performances and a Mbappé soap opera which paralyzes its news, Paris Saint-Germain continues its matches in a turbulent media environment. The tone adopted by Luis Enrique at a press conference for several weeks is there to attest to this. Again on Tuesday, the Spaniard saw red after a question about the number of kilometers covered by his players and the style of play of his team.
“ I see the question is looking for sketches to destroy the castle, I love it. 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. In my career, there hasn’t been a single team that hasn’t run enough yards to win games. From there, it’s somewhat empty reflections that seek what you want to seek. Perfect. My opinion remains the same. “. Atmosphere.
Why Luis Enrique can smile again
As his team prepares to challenge Brest for the second time in ten days, Luis Enrique must have a little taste of revenge in his mouth after the draw conceded at the Parc des Princes against the Breton club (2-2). However, the configuration of this round of 16 of the Coupe de France will be different. The Spaniard will indeed be able to rebuild a strong axis of the team by aligning the Hakimi-Dembélé pair on the right side. A flank identified as one of the great satisfactions of the Luis Enrique era. Returning to Paris after the elimination of Morocco in the African Cup of Nations, Achraf Hakimi has an ideal opportunity to quickly wash away this affront and move on to something else. His accomplice Ousmane Dembélé, for his part, is fully operational after thigh discomfort which forced him to withdraw from Strasbourg.
