This is what we will necessarily remember from this Champions League dam between PSG and Brest. The formation of Luis Enrique won very widely this Wednesday with a 7-0 victory. And a fairly rare little feature, the seven goals were scored by seven different players. The attackers of the capital's club distinguished themselves in this meeting and illustrated what Luis Enrique wanted from the start: this ability to have 14-15 players in power. The offensive festival had started with the pretty goal of Bradley Barcola. The former Lyonnais, holder on the left corridor, made a hell of a technical number before beating Coudert.
Then, it was the Georgian star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who made the break on a service of… Barcola. Positioned on the right corridor, the number 7 of PSG made a fairly average match. But despite that, he still found the net of the nets and finished the meeting with a assist too. “He is a very high level player, we have no doubts about it. He still needs time to adapt, he really wants to help the team. When you see it in the 89th minute, at 7-0, making a huge defensive effort, it is this state of mind that we want at PSG. I really like the state of mind of my players ”also confided to him Luis Enrique at a press conference.
Decisive replacements
In this PSG, with increased competition in the attacking sector, you must quickly make an impression on pain of seeing another player pass in front. And since the start of his mandate at PSG, Luis Enrique has insisted on his desire to have players who are constantly fighting for a place of holder. And if it could have had a negative impact on certain players at the start of the season, it is clear that it is the opposite. The entries of Désiré Doué and Gonçalo Ramos illustrated it perfectly. The Portuguese striker, who is satisfied with a few minutes to the right to the left from the start of the season, has made a fairly stunning entrance. Mobile, he played in Chardonnet to offer a decisive pass to Doué before going there from his goal at the end of the game. “We have a lot of confidence in our team, in our players. (…) I work, I take advantage of the opportunities and all the minutes of play ”he explained after the meeting.
And if Désiré Goué, in good shape for several weeks, also shone with a goal and a decisive pass, Luis Enrique was even able to count on the very young Senny Mayulu. The Parisian midfielder, which obviously took advantage of the scenario of the match, also scored his very first goal in the Champions League after his entry into play. Too also proof of the offensive style of this PSG: the laterals also shone since Achraf Hakimi delivered A assist in Nuno Mendes. In the middle, Vitinha found the fault while Fabian Ruiz delivered two offerings. In short, with this PSG, the danger comes from everywhere. And when men in shape like Ousmane Dembélé are a little worse, Luis Enrique can bet on confidence replacements and who only ask to settle in the eleven. “Mark with 7 different players?” It did not happen in the history of the Champions League, I think. This represents what our team is, the mentality of our players. When there was a better placed player, the players made the pass right. If they had been selfish, we would have scored less than seven goals. This is the best way to introduce yourself ”explained Luis Enrique. This offensive solidarity seems to bring a real plus to this team which will have to confirm against Liverpool or FC Barcelona during the round of 16. One thing is certain, this PSG presents it with serious offensive arguments to scare Europe. Response soon.
