Four days after its sad performance against Arsenal in the Champions League, PSG was not reassured on Sunday in Nice, conceding the draw (1-1). The fault lies in a first period played backwards. And if despite several big chances, the Aiglons finally had to wait until the 40the minute to open the scoring, Luis Enrique’s men, who certainly had possession, even got away with it by being only 1-0 down at the break.
The Parisians were particularly messy during these 45 minutes, which Luis Enrique did not fail to point out at the end of the meeting. “There was a level of imprecision that is not usual for most players, on fairly easy things that we usually succeed in. There, we had a very high level of errors”he lamented at a press conference.
Luis Enrique liked the face of the second half
Luis Enrique made the walls tremble at the break, not sparing his players. Above all, he did not hesitate to release Randal Kolo Muani, established at the forefront of the Parisian attack alongside Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé, to launch Lee Kang-In in a false 9 role. With a certain success since PSG showed a completely different side at the break, equalizing very quickly and continuing to be much more dangerous thereafter.
But according to Luis Enrique, Randal Kolo Muani was not the only player who deserved to be released. “At the break, I could have made five changes perfectly. No problem. Five players could very well have gone out, but I only made one and it was this one”he breathed, expressing his satisfaction with the face displayed after the break: “I am proud that after a bad first half, I insist bad, my players maintained a positive state of mind. »
