A week after the orgy of goals in the first leg, PSG presented a completely different face on Wednesday during the second round played at the Allianz Arena. The Parisian artists, helped by Ousmane Dembélé’s opener, donned the warm-up blue to resist Bayern Munich, which paradoxically did not displease them.
Speaking at the Canal+ microphone, Désiré Doué also insisted on the need to make efforts for each other.
“You can’t win all the time with magic and extraordinary play. Today we defended very well. This is also what makes us strong, thus underlined the former Rennais.
We attack very well but we also defend very well. We do both, but we can still progress in many sectors. But overall, I feel like we had a great match. »
“We all fought for each other and showed a great state of mind, insisted the French striker. We are really very, very happy. We don’t need to add a lot of things before such a match, these are meetings that over-motivate you. It’s for these matches that we play football, since we were little, it’s the kind of thing we dream of. We were in place, we defended well, as a team, that’s what allowed us to win the match. »
“We also like to win the fight”
A speech that will delight Luis Enrique. “It’s a reliable team that can fight all the time. If we have to be in a low block, we can do it. It’s not what we like, we didn’t recruit players with this idea in mind but if we have to do that, we do it, stressed the Spanish coach. It shows our ability to meet the challenge. We like to play good football, but we also like to win the fight…”
Kylian Mbappé seems to have never wanted to adhere to this philosophy. This is evidenced by the tête-à-tête he had with the Catalan technician a few months before his departure from Paris in which the former midfielder urged him to set an example in pressing. Two years later, the French world champion is also stingy with defensive efforts and the crisis is raging at Real Madrid, on the verge of completing a second blank season.
