a Ligue 1 coach comes to the aid of Luis Enrique

Saturday evening (9 p.m.), Angers will challenge Paris Saint-Germain on the 11th day of Ligue 1. And at a time when Luis Enrique is crystallizing the debates after last night's defeat in the Champions League against 'Atlético Madrid (1-2), Alexandre Dujeux wanted to defend him: “Football is cruel because based on the content of the match, Paris deserved to win. They had a lot of shots, possession. They certainly lack a lot of efficiency. I find them very good, they develop a lot of things, and they remain a difficult team to read, there are a lot of movements. This is a promising team. What is put in place is still remarkable. I also think it's still a step above (Monaco), they dominate the Championship head and shoulders. Paris, I think, will be champion in the end” he explained at a press conference and in comments reported by L'Equipe.

For Dujeux, PSG deserved to win against Atlético!

Asked about the lack of number nine in Paris, the SCO coach remains very cautious: “The central (opponents) do not necessarily have an opponent in place all the time. Players coming from behind dive. It's a system that is not easy to defend, I find” he confided before concluding on the upcoming match: “You have to believe in yourself, play the match fully. We will have to suffer together, and be prepared for that. It's normally unbalanced. But you shouldn't forbid yourself anything. Afterwards, when faced with a team of this level, you have to have a form of intelligence regarding the situation.“
