The start of the season has clearly not been any rest for Paris Saint-Germain. Beaten in Marseille and held in check in Lille, the capital club once again lost a few points to Strasbourg on Friday evening, at the end of a spectacular match (3-3). And Luis Enrique is willing to recognize that Racing is the toughest opponent PSG has encountered this season.
“I think so, replied the Asturian coach, in comments reported by Culture PSG. We knew, before the match, their ability, the individual level of the players and that of the collective, with the coach, Liam (Rosenior). I like the way they play, away, at home. They are one of the best teams in Ligue 1, without a doubt. »
For PSG, the difficulty also comes from injuries and the schedule which is often quite busy. “At the moment, this season, I have to manage before and also after the international break because I have to control the minutes load of my players and I think that the objective that we had before the match has been achieved,” adds Luis Enrique, who also had the Champions League match in Leverkusen on Tuesday evening in mind.
PSG soon 3rd?
Still leader, PSG could be overtaken by Lyon and Marseille depending on Saturday's results. But this adversity encountered in Ligue 1 does not panic the coach of the Rouge et Bleu.
“I know from experience what months all the competitions will take place. Our goal is, like every year, to arrive at the best moments of the competition and have the possibility of winning all the trophies. This is our ambition as a team. But it will be very difficult and you have to know how to overcome all the circumstances during the season. »
