These are the kind of matches that are not played, but are won. This Sunday, at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille, PSG is preparing to play a Classic which will be crucial to confirm a successful start to the season in Ligue 1. An always special meeting between two teams in form. After a short period of precipitation, OM set the record straight last Sunday by rolling over Montpellier (0-5). A demonstration which has given confidence to the Phocaeans who will therefore approach this meeting in full spirit and sure of their qualities.
On the other hand, PSG is coming out of a frustrating draw at home against PSV Eindhoven this Tuesday (1-1). Dominant, Luis Enrique’s men failed to convert the chances they had and confirmed their sluggish start this season on the continental scene. Therefore, a relaunch is necessary with the Classic in the championship. In this sense, Luis Enrique was present at a press conference this Saturday on the eve of this crucial meeting for the two rival teams.
Luis Enrique is ready for this hot OM-PSG
Relaunched on the dynamics of PSG before a match of this ilk, the Spanish coach affirmed that it was easy to motivate his players. On the other hand, the former FC Barcelona coach aspires to lead his group well: “With this type of match, everything you did before doesn’t matter. There is such tension. I am very satisfied. We had a very good match against PSV. I am very optimistic about what I see. High-tension matches are almost the easiest. You won’t have a lack of motivation. You have to be careful about excess motivation. I take it into account. You need 100% motivation but not 105%. You must not be led by emotions.»
From an accounting point of view, this match will be crucial in the standings. In the event of a victory, the Ile-de-France residents could overtake their rivals by six points and consolidate their first place. A clear objective in the head of Luis Enrique: “we have five points more than last year. We started off even better. Monaco and Marseille are on another level. If this continues, we will see. It’s positive for everyone, it keeps the players motivated.» But as we must not increase the already palpable pressure too much before such a match, the former La Roja coach ended on a lighter note by speaking about other sporting events of the weekend: “I’m going to experience a Marseille-PSG. These are two different matches (compared to Real Madrid – Barcelona). We feel the obligation to win. We all want to experience that. I can’t say which is better or worse. There’s also Topuria vs. Holloway (in the UFC), I’ll have to put both screens on to follow both. I am for Topuria and Barça“. From Luis Enrique in the text.
