Paris fell for the first time this season this Tuesday in the Champions League. At the Emirates Stadium, the French champions suffered the law of Arsenal (0-2). A setback for which Luis Enrique, the team coach, clearly takes responsibility.
The Ile-de-France team showed a very cautious face on English soil. There is no doubt that the choices of his coach have a lot to do with it, in particular this desire to play possession but in a sterile manner.
Luis Enrique does not want to justify himself
After the game, the Spaniard was called upon to explain what he wanted to put in place. A request, made by journalist Margon Dumont from Canal+, which he brushed aside.
“My tactical framework? No, I have no intention of explaining it. Because you wouldn’t understand it. We will have to correct things, but I won’t explain it to you.”
Concerning the analysis of the match, he was a little more verbose by declaring: “I think the match in terms of intensity was very high, with Arsenal very aggressive and dangerous. They were superior to us in every duel in 1e half-time. And from 2-0, the match changes. We were not up to the task. Arsenal were better.”
Finally, when we asked him if with Ousmane Dembélé on the pitch the result would have been different, he kicked into touch. And he remained equally silent when asked whether he was going to reinstate him quickly or not.
