Unable to explain PSG's defeat against Atlético Madrid (1-2), Wednesday evening in the Champions League, Luis Enrique was demolished by Daniel Riolo.
After four days, PSG is 25e of the Champions League and virtually eliminated from the race for the play-offs. Wednesday evening, at the Parc des Princes, the Parisians lost in added time against Atlético Madrid (1-2), at the end of a match that they copiously dominated (71% possession, 22 shots against). 4, 2.90 expected goals against 0.67). A new disillusionment that Luis Enrique had great difficulty explaining.
“It’s difficult to explain this result, I have more than 30 years of experience in football and I can’t explain thishe reacted at the microphone of Canal+. It's bad luck. We were infinitely superior. The result is totally unfair. » Unfair, but also revealing of certain shortcomings within the Rouge et Bleu squad, according to Daniel Riolo. For him, the person responsible is no one other than the Catalan coach.
Daniel Riolo takes on Luis Enrique!
“I don’t see a player who is progressing, he threw in L’After Foot. Vitinha, he got it into his head that it was in front of the defense; I maintain that it is an 8 and not a 6. Fabian Ruiz, with Spain, is a football player; with PSG, he's a ghost. 'Bambi' (Bradley Barcola), in the championship, there is real progress, I think he is a player who is starting to show things; in the Champions League, he does not yet have the level. »
And the RMC consultant, very upset, continued:
“(Ousmane) Dembélé, it's always the same: the guy is capable of eliminating anyone and he's probably the one who makes the biggest differences on the side but in the conclusion phase, there is no more Nothing. There is no center forward. (Marco) Asensio, it's not even that he has progressed, he has regressed so much that he no longer exists. And for all players, it’s like that! »
“I don’t see a player who is progressing”
Even Parisians who stand out from the crowd owe nothing, in his eyes, to Luis Enrique: “Hakimi, don’t tell me he made it progress. He was already very good at Inter and he was very good at PSG, he had ups and downs in his career but it was not Luis Enrique who made him progress. Nuno Mendes, the rising full-back, no longer exists. Marquinhos also did not wait for Luis Enrique to have the level he has. And that's it, there's nothing. »
