Victory guaranteed but without brilliance for PSG. On the sidelines of the second day of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain has hardly established itself against Angers (1-0), this Friday evening, thanks to a minimalist goal. The Parisians continue, but the evening was especially marked by the anger of their coach Luis Enrique.
Long grouped in defense, the Angevins resisted before giving in, seriously complicating the task of the champions of France. “We had already talked about the difficulty of this match, because the opponent defends very well as a low block. They did it and it was difficult throughout the match ”recognizes Luis Enrique in remarks reported by The team.
But beyond the Angevin opposition, the Spanish technician pointed another major problem: the state of the lawn. His players, who had no longer walked the lawn of the Parc des Princes since the celebration of their coronation in the Champions League in June, had to compose with degraded terrain. What to return the meeting “Even more difficult” For his team.
“We need a lawn in condition”
“The worst thing is the state of the lawn. I didn't know it was to this point. It made the match even more difficult ”he regrets. Despite this irritation, Luis Enrique wanted to enhance his players: “I have to congratulate my players because they did not think of the state of the lawn and played confidence”.
After two weeks of preparation, Spaniard also considers that he cannot learn from such conditions. “We need a lawn in condition to have the feeling with the ball, this was not the case tonight. Honestly I am happy with the ability of my players not to talk about the lawn state. It was an unpredictable thing for me ”concludes the technician.
