Paris Saint-Germain had a great evening on Wednesday by beating Manchester City (4-2) at the Parc des Princes, after being down 2-0. Criticized for his position on the subject, Luis Enrique once again opted for a composition without a center forward. What made the difference in the eyes of Pep Guardiola.
Stunning. Paris Saint-Germain scored a valuable victory on the Parc des Princes lawn on Wednesday evening against Manchester City (4-2), who had nevertheless taken the advantage after half-time with a two-goal lead (0-2). For the meeting, Luis Enrique had once again decided to do without the services of a center forward, Gonçalo Ramos having returned at playing time. Lee Kang-in, Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué had thus been chosen to compose the attack.
-“With their false 9, they managed to have an additional player in the middle”
A paid choice, and validated by Pep Guardiola himself while Luis Enrique does not escape criticism for its position on the subject. “ They had more players in midfield and that's often where you win matches. We couldn't manage that. With their false 9, they managed to have an extra player in this position », confided Pep Guardiola at a press conference, reported by The Team.
“We couldn’t be better today”
« They won today, but they have played matches like this before. I've seen it before. We couldn't be better today. I'd like to say otherwise, but that's how it is. », continues the coach of Manchester City. A not really surprising outing when we know that the Catalan introduced this tactic without a real center forward.
