While it is the reigning double European champion, Paris Saint-Germain is paradoxically having its worst start to a season in Ligue 1 in 19 years.
After its defeat on Friday evening in the opening match of the third day of Ligue 1, the capital club is seven points behind that of the Principality. However, nothing to worry Luis Enrique. The Spanish technician was even very confident about the outcome of the French championship yesterday at a press conference.
“It’s an incredible motivation for my players, the team, the club. If you want to bet who will be the French champion at the end of the season, we can bet, but I’m not saying anything. Seven points behind Monaco? It’s motivation. We will seek to change this as quickly as possible”warned the Rouge et Bleu coach.
Luis Enrique, a damaged capital of sympathy
A statement that surprised Matthieu Dossevi. “It doesn’t happen often, but a slight communication error which (a little) undermines the sympathy gained over the past two years. Confidence yes, but arrogance as a defense is never a marker of strength. Leave that kind of bet for X, you’re supposed to be above that”, wrote the former attacking midfielder on his X account.
After the start of its Champions League campaign on Wednesday against Slovan Bratislava, PSG will continue with two new Ligue 1 matches before the international break. On Sunday September 13, Marquinhos and his teammates will travel to Brest, before welcoming Olympique de Marseille a week later.
