A discourse tinged with confidence, but also of vigilance and respect. It is with this very varied approach that Luis Enrique approached the shock between Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool this Wednesday evening, in the round of 16
Champions League.
Very elegant, the PSG coach recognized the strength of his opponent. “I think Liverpool is one of the best teams in recent years. They won the Champions League three years ago I believe (2019, editor's note). Time passes very quickly, maybe I'm wrong. After what Klopp had done and which seemed to be difficult to improve, I believe that Arne Slot has made Liverpool, in less than a season, a machine almost perfect for playing football, defending, which is pleasant to see playing, which presses without any problem, which can attack in a quiet way with the ball or quickly by attacking the spaces. “
Luis Enrique deciphered Liverpool
Words that should not leave Arne Slot insensitive.
“They have a lot of options, decrypted Luis Enrique. They also have a determining player like Salah. He is their most unbalanced player, with exceptional statistics for several seasons. But it's not just Salah, they have many other high -level players and it's a very complete team. ”
“” It is both obvious and a great motivation for us, continued the PSG coach. We take this match or this double confrontation as an opportunity to show that we also have the level. And we, as staff, we always like to look at the statistics, not as a reference, but the statistics show a little what each team is and, in this sense, I think that PSG statistics are comparable to those of any team in Europe “Concluded the Spanish technician.
