A performance that “shocked” the various European observers who were dazzled by the Parisian performances during this double confrontation against the Reds. Former English defender of Manchester United and current consultant for TNT SPORTS Rio Ferdinand is one of the observers totally under the spell of the formation of Luis Enrique.
For him, this PSG version 2024-2025 is the best he has seen.
“It's the best team I have seen in Paris Saint-Germain for years. I saw wonderful individuals, world class players, superstars, galactics, all this. But I have never seen a team too in tune with each other, which sacrifices itself until the last man. Each player on the field is given for others. We have often observed them over the years and have noticed that two or three players were not part of the defensive scheme, that they were a little detached from the rest of the team when they did not have the ball, only animating themselves when they recovered it. This team works together 100%, with and without the ball, “
Did he highly let go.
Before continuing and sending new strong words for Parisians: I think they are going to be a very difficult opponent for any team they will face. They are ready to go to the duel with anyone. I think they almost crushed Liverpool in Paris when I was there. This is the first time that I have seen them do this this season. But again, if they want to dominate with the ball and pass in depth, they can do it too. They have killers in the last third capable of ending a match alone. It is a multiple facets team. They will be very difficult to beat in this competition this year. »»
Words that should please the red and blue people. The capital's club will face a new English club in C1. Luis Enrique players will be opposed to Aston Villa. The first leg will take place at the Parc des Princes on April 9 and the return to Villa Park on the 15th.
