Paris Saint-Germain has almost assured its title of champion in Ligue 1, with thirteen points ahead of OM in the standings, but it does not prevent the capital's club from entering the Money Time of its season. And its calendar is dementia. After having chained OL and its quarter-final of the Coupe de France, Paris will face Lille, Liverpool, Rennes, Liverpool, Marseille and Saint-Etienne in a month and will start April with its semi-final of the Coupe de France. But at a time when his predecessors have often complained about the intensive calendar, Luis Enrique prefers to see the good side of things to avoid unnecessary puzzles.
“We must think that the calendar is like that. We have to adapt. It's hard to have recovery days. We are very happy to have this calendar, it means that we fight in all competitions ”he said at the microphone of PSG TVbefore specifying his thought at a press conference when a journalist asked him if he counted a turnover tomorrow evening against the Dogues. “This is the calendar we have, it's very intense. After Lille, there is Liverpool, after Rennes, after again Liverpool, after OM. It is very important at these times to control these minutes, the intensity and what type of match was played. I think we are good, we distribute the minutes well, we make all the players available, they are all ready and it is something that I like ”.
Luis Enrique folds at the calendar
Luis Enrique accepts this infernal rhythm without flinching, and do not go talk to him that Liverpool will not play this weekend because of his early elimination in FA Cup. “There are no advantages or disadvantages. We could make a deeper reflection. They had a very intense calendar. These are things that cannot be controlled. It is impossible that it is good for all the teams. When you are in all competitions, it is impossible. »» And if the Spaniard seems to manage this intense period serenely, it is also because it is in a rather comfortable situation with his team, where the wounded are not legion.
“We already have six, seven months in preparation, we have already played a whole series of matches, we have improved certain aspects since the return of the Christmas holidays. We had better results than at the start of the season. Now there is very little to prepare, you must especially recover while resting a lot. For our part, we analyze things, but we are in a dynamic that we know. Everything flows positively and we want to continue like this. »» Stay positive at all costs and not complain, a credo that also applies to those who wonder if some shock holders facing the Reds will play tomorrow. “The Lille match is a big test for players who want to play against Liverpool. A very high level rival, which will do similar game actions in Liverpool. Compared to fatigue, if you are prepared and motivated, it does not exist. You have to take advantage of it. Every day there is training, matches, playing the park is a pleasure. »» A beautiful coué method.
