Tomorrow, Paris Saint-Germain hosts Lorient as part of the 32nd day of Ligue 1. A less sexy match than the Champions League semi-final first leg played against Bayern Munich (5-4). However, Luis Enrique’s men will not be able to ignore this meeting, four days before the return match in Munich. Paris will surely turn around and has a six-point lead over Lens in the standings, but a victory tomorrow at the Parc des Princes would allow the Rouge-et-Bleu to give themselves a big advantage in the title race.
However, it will undoubtedly be complicated for the Parisians not to have their heads in Munich tomorrow. Present at the press conference, Luis Enrique still appeared very marked by the legendary match last Tuesday. “If we look at the other matches, it was the most intense match of the season, right? Emotionally, it’s different, you’re more tired of this thing that you can’t control. But when the last matches come, it’s always usual in this type of energy”he declared, before responding to those who did not like the meeting.
Luis Enrique still in shock
“It’s like life, there are opinions everywhere. It’s not important to respect all opinions. If it’s a shitty opinion, you don’t have to respect it. There are people who like football played like that, it’s the majority and I’m one of them. But some people don’t like it. It was shown that the majority of people who like football enjoyed the match. » Enchanted by his team’s performance, the Spanish coach was however revived on the scenario of the match. While uncertainty is the order of the day with just one small goal ahead for the Ile-de-France residents, it is worth remembering that the reigning European champions could have had a much quieter return leg when they were leading 5-2. A match fact which could be important, but which Luis Enrique does not want to remember.
“No, I can’t be frustrated, it’s a unique football match for me. When I analyze, if I usually take 3 hours, it’s 5 hours for PSG-Bayern. There were some incredible actions, offensively and defensively, from Bayern. There was no bad defensive work, that’s what made this match magnificent. It was a spectacular match from both teams. That’s what makes this match magnificent, especially the attackers. Look at how Kane and Dembélé, the two number 9s, defended. Both players gave everything. All. Amazing. It’s a time to congratulate both teams and enjoy this match. I think it was the team that proposed the most against us, that had the most idea of playing offensively. He’s the strongest opponent I faced during my time at PSG, that’s why I’m very happy. Your colleague asked me if I was upset about going from 5-2 to 5-4. I’m happy to win against Bayern. We’re going there to win, if we lose or draw, it won’t be unfair. » Looking forward to next Wednesday.
