Falling against something stronger than him on Tuesday evening at the Emirates Stadium, PSG took a blow to the back of the head. Until then undefeated this season, the capital club recorded a logical defeat at Arsenal for its second outing in the Champions League (2-0). With many regrets to carry in the process, including the absence of Ousmane Dembélé – sanctioned by Luis Enrique – and the failed overall performance of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
This Wednesday, RMC ensures that the Parisian locker room had difficulty accepting this defeat, despite the facade speeches. “Luis Enrique did not debriefnotes the media outlet.
In those around the club, we regret a lack of personality which has again been verified. (…) Among influential people within the capital club, however, we judge that this is not a disaster. »
First signals of annoyance
However, the omnipotence of the Spanish coach would not be without creating frustration and tension. “ Among the players, we sometimes question the relevance of certain game plans, but the coach maintains unquestioned authority. No voice is raised to, for example, point out the lack of verticality in the game which sticks more to the counter-attacking qualities of several elements of the squad “, further asserts RMC this Wednesday evening.
On the same airwaves, Emmanuel Petit points out the responsibility of the stubborn Catalan strategist. “ He wants to put his Barça project in Paris even though he does not have the player profiles in certain positions. Above all, he doesn’t have Iniesta, Messi, Xavi, Luis Suarez… He will have to understand that Barça was in a certain era. It restricts and frustrates certain players like Nuno Mendes. I am frustrated and angry. I knew Arsenal were superior but I expected Luis Enrique, especially after what happened with Ousmane Dembélé, to show a little more humility! »
