In the aftermath of the PSG qualification for the Champions League final, reactions are raining in France and abroad. Unaccustomed to seeing the French clubs shining on the European scene, the actors of tricolor football still display their satisfaction to see the team of Luis Enrique climb to this level of competition in C1, where it will be necessary to face the Inter. Despite the antagonism in some with regard to the capital's club, all recognize the work done for the Asturian coach and will store behind him on May 31 in Munich. This is for example the step of Paulo Fonseca, who recognizes the quality of the work produced by his counterpart.
“I really like Luis Enrique. This is an example, a reference. If we look at the past of PSG, we see that they have lost the best players in the world with Messi, Neymar, Mbappé, and this moment is important. Important so that footballs understand that the most important is the teamsupports the Portuguese technician. He (Luis Enrique) has really built a collective with players who want to work first for the team, the club. Today, having a player open to the idea of working for the team is an advantage. He had the merit of really working together to win. We have other examples but PSG is the big example of the moment. ”
The coaches admire the work of Luis Enrique
The content is the same at Will Still. The Lensois coach admires the French champion but cannot help thinking about confrontations in the face of this team, which he managed to worry. “The content of what PSG offers is very strong. So that frustrates me for having lost three times against this team. Because we put them in difficulty. It's positive for us. With the budget that is theirs, it would have been sad that they could not qualify for the final. But the content of their game and what the coach does with this team is very very strong ”rents the Belgian at a press conference two days to go to Toulouse on behalf of the 33rd day of Ligue 1.
A championship that has experienced a lot in recent months due to the problems linked to Dazn. The broadcaster will also go at the end of the season after a year of partnership only, while the contract had initially been signed until 2029. Inevitably, the whole Ligue 1 radiates through the European performance of PSG. Philippe Diallo is not mistaken. “”This qualification is excellent news for French football“, Ensures the president of the FFF, which has the mission of reconnecting the various actors in professional football after the TV rights fiasco precipitated by the Professional Football League.
The LFP welcomes
Vincent Labrune precisely reacted to the Parisian qualification, believing that “Nothing provides as much collective emotion as these great European epics.” The boss of the LFP, present alongside Al-Khelaïfi at the Parc des Princes, even calls for patriotic fiber. “”We saw it again last night: they vibrate an entire country. More broadly, the exceptional performance of French clubs this season are the result of substantive work started for several years to support and structure our professional clubs. This European success values our championship, strengthens its attractiveness, in particular with investors and first -level business partners, and generates additional resources. ” As a direct reference to the institutional crisis experienced by French football.
