Luis Enrique has not changed tones. Despite a second consecutive defeat in Ligue 1-after that against Nice, PSG lost 2-1 to Strasbourg this Saturday-the Parisian coach was remarkably positive at the microphone of Dazn. The Spanish technician, far from dramatizing, praised the quality of the match, the atmosphere at the stadium, and the attitude of his young players. An astonishing posture at first glance, as PSG seemed unbeatable two weeks ago.
The Parisian starting eleven set the tone: Zaïre-Emery, Mayulu, Tapé and Camara were all launched from the outset, in a meeting that could have allowed PSG to sign a 32nd day of invincibility outside-and thus exceed the historic record of AC Milan in 1993. But Luis Enrique assumed his choices. He preferred to exhibit his young people, even if it means losing, rather than susolitating his executives four days from a burning return semi-final against Arsenal.
Luis Enrique assumes his choice to have aligned Tape and his other young people.
“If I am honest, we saw a very good match with two teams who tried to play a good football. It was a great atmosphere.
We started well, with four very young players, and we finished with five players from our youth teams. We try to move forward in a team, I am happy with the performance of my team ”, he said.
Defeat or not, Luis Enrique remains Zen … and he explains
Then interviewed head of the moment, Luis Enrique dodged without hiding. With a supported look, he launched to the journalist:
“You have done the question, and I have nothing to say. »» An elegant way to confirm, without admitting it, that the Champions League now concentrates all the attention of the Parisian staff. And that the match in Strasbourg served above all as a launch ramp for London.
Rather than making it a drama, Luis Enrique therefore transforms failure into a step. This PSG, in an experimental version, has not won. But he may have learned. And at a time when everything is played against Arsenal, that is perhaps all that the Spaniard wanted.
