Without trembling, Paris Saint-Germain won (3-1) against LOSC this Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes. A generally satisfactory collective performance despite the sad face displayed by the Mastiffs. With this victory, Luis Enrique’s men take, in any case, temporarily 11 lengths ahead of OGC Nice at the top of the championship and, moreover, are full of confidence before welcoming Real Sociedad , Wednesday evening, in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. A meeting so important but to which the Parisian coach returned, asking for appeasement. “The best thing is to enjoy this match. And here, I see that there is a lot of tension with the Champions League. However, it’s about fighting it and competing thinking it’s magnificent. We’ve been talking about it every day on television for two weeks. Calm down! The team is prepared, the players are ready. We’re going to take advantage of it.”launched the former Barça technician at the microphone of Canal + before repeating it again at a press conference.
“I have the feeling, from what I perceive around the club, that we have been talking about this Champions League on television for three weeks, as if that was the only thing. As if it was life or death. This is not the case. You have to be calm, want to, but without pressure, without anxiety. We can’t say to ourselves: ‘My God, there will be no tomorrow if we lose’. Calm ! We are going to enjoy the Champions League. And then if the opponent is better, we will applaud. It’s not always good to have too much pressure. The pressure is on those who have already won the Champions League, we haven’t done it yet. We simply have the desire”. The message has gotten through!
