It is always a difficult and delicate situation to manage. Between two Champions League semi-finals, PSG therefore had to think about Ligue 1 and concentrate on its title race. Because for once, the suspense remains unresolved regarding the title of Champion of France. And this therefore means that Luis Enrique cannot really rotate his squad, or at least he must accept losing feathers in the championship. This Saturday, that’s what he accepted by fully turning his eleven against Lorient.
With the exception of Pacho and Désiré Doué, all the other Parisian starters were not present against Bayern Munich a few days earlier (5-4). A choice which did not pay off for the Spanish coach since his team was held by the Merlus (2-2) and can therefore see Lens return to 4 points with still a direct confrontation planned at the end of the season. But after the match, heads obviously quickly turned to the shock against Bayern Munich. The German club also had a big turnaround this weekend and was held by the red lantern Heidenheim (3-3). Except that the Bavarians have already validated their title of German champion.
Heads are turned towards Munich!
At a press conference, asked about switching directly to the C1 shock, Luis Enrique explained that he was obviously not going to have any rest this weekend. “Resting?” No. Coaches never rest. All the time, we think about the next match, the difficulties we are going to have, how the players are. At rest, no. I’m tired after the matches, from the tension there is, as usual, like all coaches. And tomorrow, it will be the time to turn the page towards Bayern Munich”he said. As for the players, the very young Dro Fernandez did not escape questions on the subject in the mixed zone.
The former FC Barcelona midfielder is looking forward to this shock. “It will be a very tough match, we know how serious a rival Bayern are. But I have full confidence in my team. The motivation is at maximum, we are only one step away from playing a Champions League final. I think the team is in good shape and we will go to win. It’s true that matches between two Champions League posters like today are special. But we are a great team and we will take advantage of the time to recover before the next match. » Today’s poor performance is no longer in our heads and the objective is therefore to focus fully on the most important match of the season. See you next Wednesday!
