Luis Enrique probably hadn’t even dreamed of such a start to the season. Last weekend’s victory against Le Havre (4-1) set the tone, even if everything wasn’t perfect, far from it, since the Normans ended up giving up in the face of the quality of the players who came on. The work undertaken during the week seems to have been effective. Tonight, during this 2nd day, there was no comparison against a weak Montpellier team (6-0).
Led by Barcola, double scorer, and Joao Neves, double passer, PSG crushed their opponent in all areas of the game. It was therefore a Luis Enrique smiling like never before that we found at the microphone of DAZN after the final whistle.I am very happy because it is the first home game with the fans. We wanted to give them joy and make them want to support us. It is a perfect evening for me.»
Luis Enrique: “For me it’s really great»
According to the Spanish coach, his players gave an impeccable performance.I felt that during the week and tonight. The level and intensity of the pressing was increasing. We saw it tonight, we scored 6 goals but we could have scored 10.enthuses Luis Enrique, more talkative than usual. Opposite, there was a very good team, which has experience, but tonight, it was our evening“, he assures before slipping in a little sentence that says a lot.
According to him, his team shows great collective qualities, as he has rarely had during his career as a coach.It’s probably the only team I can play with with 7 attacking players who come back and work defensively. They also play width. With these players, we can change everything, for me, it’s really great.“And to add in a press conference: “I think you didn’t see one star but sixteen who came to defend the colors of Paris Saint-Germain. Sixteen stars in attack and sixteen stars in defense. That’s perfection. That’s what we’re looking for.”. A Luis Enrique so excited is rare enough to be highlighted, even after two days.
