PSG started their meeting very well against FC Nantes this Saturday evening with a goal ofAshraf Hakimi from the second minute of the match. But unlike the start of the season in Ligue 1 where he scores on average three goals per match, the capital club failed to finish this Saturday on the lawn of the Princes Park and conceded the draw against Nantes (1-1). Present at a press conference, in remarks relayed by The Parisian,
Luis Enrique returned to this lack of efficiency of his team, spoke of his management of goalkeepers, the return of
Gonçalo Ramos or even the match ofAshraf Hakimi…
What he didn't like tonight
« I think I behaved as usual on the sideline but I needed to let off some steam for a second. I think we had a good match in all aspects. Once again, football rewards teams that score. This frustrates the players, me too. But there is a road to follow: insist, insist, insist until the end. »
The changes in the team, a link with the defeat in Munich?
« No. It's a message that I like to get across. I have no complaints against my players. But I want them all to improve, to reveal themselves, to train hard when they are not playing or not warming up, for the starter to think about losing his place, for the scorer to think about score more goals, whoever defends well remembers to give the maximum. Any information collected during matches and any results gives you even more information after a victory. I try to use this for the benefit of my teams. »
What was missing to score a second goal
« I think we come up with things and create opportunities. The opponent had a good chance and scored. There is a lack of confidence, clarity, foresight, precision, more faith. There are many circumstances to take into account. We will continue to insist.«

Donnarumma’s tenure
« I have three very good goalkeepers, they have to get used to being ready. Donnarumma et
Safonov have played, but we haven't seen yet
holds. I want them to be 100% and prepared to play. If no goalkeeper is above the rest, I want them all to be ready. »
Opponents who score easily
« It's inexplicable. This season we have the best collective statistics for chances created and conceded. It will change, that's for sure. It can't continue like this. I have a quality team but we will have to cut this dynamic and change it. We had five clear chances and we didn't manage to score… But that's how it is. »
The return of Gonçalo Ramos
« I don't know. You often spoke to me about a number 9 and what happened? I still hear you talking to me about number 9. The solution never comes from a single player. It's a team sport. He is a surface player who generates chances, who is on the move. It is very important to us. I am very happy with his contribution throughout the match. »
Are you thinking of installing Hakimi in a winger role?
« IHe plays fullback only when Donnarumma has the ball. He plays like a striker, like a winger. He can't play any higher, otherwise he would be with the Ultras. »
