Satisfied with the victory gleaned in Strasbourg (1-2), the PSG coach refuses to plan for the Champions League and only thinks about the match


The lesson in efficiency did not make him smile.

Despite the success gleaned in Strasbourg and these two goals which allowed PSG to establish its leading position in Ligue 1, it was on the unconvincing way in which his team achieved its fourteenth success in Ligue 1 that the Spanish coach was interviewed.

Nothing to worry about five days before returning to Brest in the Coupe de France and twelve in their European round of 16 against Real Sociedad.

Like against Brest last week, your team died down and was seriously shaken up after returning from the locker room.

Does this worry you?

LUIS ENRIQUE.

If we analyze our performance since the start of the match, we had a good match.

Strasbourg is a very dynamic and quality opponent.

But once we find ourselves at 2-0, they have nothing to lose.

We work man to man.

I think we had a very positive attitude.

Our objective is also to control the matches but I think we knew how to defend.

You talk a lot about game control, but do you also find your team efficient in transition play?

The main thing in football is to dominate all areas.

We dominated the match well, the objective is to have the ball in the opposing camp and to score more goals than them.

As a coach, my goal is to win matches.

Twelve days before the Champions League, are you concerned about tonight's performance?

In 12 days we might all be dead.

The Champions League doesn't interest me, I'm thinking of the Coupe de France match against Brest, that's what occupies my mind, it's a final for us.

How do you explain that your army suffered twenty shots and only attempted nine?

To be able to analyze all the opportunities, he shows them.

There were not 20 shots on target.

What is going on ?

Do you think that PSG is the only one playing, that there is no opponent?

Winning is no longer enough?

We cannot win every match 4-0.

Against other opponents, could conceding so many chances be a problem?

To analyze the match with these players, we can analyze the match with other players.

But Strasbourg played well too.

Aren't you disappointed with the way your team won this victory?

No, in fact the second goal comes from a high pressure release from Strasbourg.

It is by taking risks that we have made our mark.

Strasbourg had chances thanks to the high recoveries and the risks he took.

We were less precise.

But I repeat, it's not just Paris that plays,

In December you said your team would be better in February.

Factually, what progress do you see?

In February better, in March worse, April better, May less and in June better.

The most important thing is to arrive on June 1st in a position to win all the titles.

We are courageous.
