Paris Saint-Germain is doing very well. Traveling to the pitch at Stade Brestois, the capital club was able to glean the three points of victory for a fifth success in a row in all competitions (4 in Ligue 1 and 1 in the Champions League), but the match was not successful. was not easy for Luis Enrique’s men. First leading 2-0 against Eric Roy’s flock, they were able to reduce the gap at the end of the second half before equalizing after returning from the locker room. Finally, on a penalty obtained by Randal Kolo Muani, it was Kylian Mbappé who turned into the hero of the afternoon to get PSG out of the Breton trap (3-2).
Interviewed at the microphone of Prime Video a few moments after the final whistle, Spanish coach Luis Enrique was happy, despite his team’s lack of intensity, especially after the break. “I don’t know if in France, we let the big teams win even if they play badly. There were several games in this match, we had a lot of action and we scored the goals. But after that, we conceded a goal at the end of the first period. Then in the second half, they were much better than us, they had control of the match. We suffered and I was almost afraid that we would lose. In the end, we got the penalty and the victory, so I’m happy.”
“The celebration of Mbappé? I don’t like that kind of thing…”
“After they scored, they managed to create chances, play higher, continued the former coach of La Roja to explain the weak times of his players. It’s not math, it’s football. They pressed us higher, and then with their supporters, they did a lot of things well. The environment not intense enough? I’ll have to watch the match a second time to understand. They were better than us at times, they hadn’t lost much before this match so they’re a good team.” Indeed, the Breton team only conceded its third defeat in the league, the second in a row after its failed trip to Lille (1-0).
Then questioned about his star striker Kylian Mbappé, credited with a 7/10 and the honorary title of man of the match against Brest by our editorial staff, the Iberian technician admitted not having appreciated his celebration towards the Brest public (89th ), which also earned him a warning from the referee. “I don’t like that kind of thing. It’s better to try to enjoy the moment, think about everything around football and give positive energy. I don’t really know what happened (with the supporters, editor’s note).” A behavior that the players did not appreciate in this electric meeting, but also the supporters, throwing hostile chants at him at the end of the match.
