The Parisian coach, Luis Enrique, does not want his club to be obsessed with winning the Champions League.
Tuesday evening, the Champions League is back. A competition that PSG begins with a lot of appetite and with this desire to go to the end. It’s not even a desire, but an obsession. An approach that Luis Enrique, the team’s coach, however, considers erroneous. For him, it is necessary to play down the ordeal in order to hope to reach the end.
The objective is to win the Champions League for PSG
“When a club is obsessed with something, it’s never a good sign. You have to have ambition but obsession doesn’t work in any area of life”indicated the Spanish coach before the reception in Dortmund this Tuesday.
Luis Enrique therefore tries to remain detached. But, he assures that he and his men have no other ambition than to seek the supreme trophy, the one that is so lacking in their list of achievements. “We have to wait and see how the competition launches, football is a wonderful sport, all results are possible. You can play an incredible match and lose, play badly and win. As a club we play all competitions to win them, that’s the objective. He is very ambitious but it is necessary”he confided.
Luis Enrique is not worried about his position
Last Friday, Paris suffered its first setback of the season against Nice (2-3). With this setback, the Ile-de-France team even presents its worst start to the year in 13 years. This adds pressure on Luis Enrique’s shoulders. The latter claims that he knows how to tame it: “I don’t worry about being given time. The way I operate is for me. If the results are bad, we’ll see. I know that as a coach, I live it every day. I focus on my team. »
Finally, the Asturian technician affirmed that the picture is not so bad and that it is important to be patient at the start of this new cycle. “I don’t know how you feel about it from the outside. It’s certain that we haven’t started the season extremely well but when I arrive at a club it often happens like that, there is a lot of information to convey, ideas and concepts that are necessary. that players assimilate. I find a very receptive team, they have a lot of desire and want to adopt the staff’s idea. I am delighted with the behavior of the players.”
