Coming off a defeat against Olympique Lyonnais, at the Parc des Princes (1-2), Paris Saint-Germain hosts FC Nantes on Wednesday evening, as part of a late match on the 26th day of Ligue 1. The Parisians will have to win against the very ill Canaries in order to take a step closer to the title. And one week before a semi-final against Bayern Munich, Luis Enrique does not rule out the idea of ​​rotating a good number of his players. Straightforward, the Spanish technician insisted on the demands imposed on his entire workforce.

“I’m going to need a lot of time. What I think of the substitutes is that we won everything last year thanks to these types of substitutes. They always trained well, played very well when necessary. This year it’s the same thing. It would be ridiculous to sign a lot of players. We have a very big team. It’s normal to have small reinforcements, it will be the same thing next season”he explained, taking as an example the case of Lucas Beraldo, replaced as number six, he who “didn’t have an opportunity as a central defender. We saw this possibility in the middle, he performs very well, he has technical quality and is strong. I like the way he played”.

“If you don’t know how I manage turnover after three years here… it’s up to you to judge and analyze, I remain with the same opinion as usual. You have to see it all in a panoramic way. There are still two championship matches before Bayern. I can spin it, but I don’t know. It would be very easy to say that I manage very well, I try to win every match. You have to see everything in perspective, with experience”added the Spanish technician, who refused to discuss the Lucas Chevalier case.

On the bench since January 23, the French international (1 selection) could reappear for this late match, but his coach did not wish to say more: “we have the clear objective of trying to win the match, that’s the most important thing. Tomorrow we will decide who will be the best team for this match.”. Answer this Wednesday, where some could have the opportunity to earn points for the future.
