Hungry beast on all paintings, the Paris Saint-Germain will not neglect the French Cup. While he has almost assured his title of champion of France and that the prestigious Champions League is necessarily in all heads, the club of the capital has a standing to enforce competitions. On the road to Dunkirk, the Parisians will approach this semi-final with a status of a growing favorite, of course, but we must not count on Luis Enrique to underestimate the northern club.
“We have already analyzed Dunkirk, which has an impressive course in the Coupe de France, warned the Spanish technician. They eliminated three Ligue 1 teams, beating Auxerre, Lille and Brest outside. It is something very impressive. I like Dunkirk's style of play. An associative style with the ball. They play from the back and offensively, it is a very complete team, which presses. Their worthy defensive is high, they play the offside continuously. It is a team that hinders (its opponents) and complicated to play. I am not surprised that they were well classified in Ligue 2 and that they have eliminated Ligue 1 teams, because they work very well. I hope they will not be as inspired tomorrow and that we can impose on each other. »»
Luis Enrique, a coach characterized by his requirement and his ambition.
For the anecdote, Luis Castro, the Dunkirk coach, was a trainer of Joao Neves and Gonçalo Ramos… “I will talk to João and Gonçalo tomorrow, I will ask them if they can help me”smiled the clever Luis Enrique. The decor is planted.
