Lucas Hernandez did not like what he saw on Wednesday during the heavy defeat conceded by PSG on the pitch at Newcastle (4-1).
Fifteen days after a promising victory against Borussia Dortmund, PSG showed a worrying face on Wednesday during their trip to Newcastle. Not helped by the 4-2-4 set up by Luis Enrique to align his offensive quartet, the French champions foundered to finally lose 4-1 and thus concede the heaviest defeat in the history of the club. capital in the group stage of the Champions League.
More than its tactical plan, it is the attitude of its players, “not very good”, which the Parisian coach regretted. And the Spanish technician was joined in his analysis by Lucas Hernandez. “We didn’t put what was needed on the pitch, and it showed in the result, and a little in the game”, he said at the microphone of RMC Sport, adding: “It’s up to us to learn from our mistakes. It’s a project with a lot of desire, we are all aware of the role we play for this club. It’s up to us to show that on the pitch and not in front of the cameras or microphones.”
“I think we knew it wouldn’t be easy. It’s the Champions League, if we don’t set the pace, the impact on the pitch, outside, you end up with a result like that, he had said a few minutes earlier to Canal +. It’s up to us to change all that from the start of the match, next time we will have to come in with more impact. We knew they were going to press high from the start. It was up to us to know how to manage the weak and strong times. It’s football, it’s the Champions League.”
