Held in check this Friday at Auxerre during the 14th day of Ligue 1 (0-0), PSG showed a lot of waste in front of the goals. But Luis Enrique stays the course for future events, starting with Salzburg on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Despite two new points lost, Luis Enrique maintains “a positive analysis”. PSG was not reassured on Tuesday by conceding a new draw (0-0) against Auxerre this Friday during the 14th day of Ligue 1, four days before returning to the Champions League on Tuesday in Salzburg where Paris must restart so as not to lose any chance of qualifying for the next round.

“It is obvious that the result does not reflect the performance. In the second half, Auxerre was dangerous in transitions. We pushed, we had more chances. I have nothing to reproach my players. We exceptional numbers. I don't see this feeling of negativity around the club. I don't have a magic formula. We have to take advantage of our chances, our rival hasn't had many chances. recalled the coach Parisian at a press conference.

-“Give everything” against Salzburg
A week after a sluggish offensive performance against Nantes, PSG shot 24 times against AJA this Friday, with eleven shots on target. The Parisians notably came up against a great Donovan Léon in the Auxerre cages. “We can improve our game, but it's not a mental problem. In football, PSG is the team that has scored the most goals (37) and conceded the fewest in Ligue 1 (11). I have nothing to say to my team The good work of the team can be seen when we analyze the response of the rival team. The first 25 minutes of the second half were good,” continued the Spaniard. .
With 34 points, this new draw has very few consequences in the standings for PSG, still leader before the matches in Marseille and Monaco, both at 26 points. But the Parisians must now put themselves in Champions League mode, since a perilous trip to Salzburg arrives on Tuesday (9 p.m.).
“I will criticize the players if they are not motivated. They are the first interested in scoring. It's like a fish's memory. It's like tennis players, we easily forget the last point and we watch from 'before. If I pay attention to this pressure that we often put on, we would throw ourselves out of the window. We don't have a net. To give yourself a chance not to sink your European hopes once and for all.
