“It’s the beginning of a change,” assures Luis Enrique

“We were extremely efficient” et “this is the start of a change”greeted PSG coach Luis Enrique after the victory in Angers (4-2) on Saturday for the 11th day of Ligue 1.

“There was a very complete match from the team, we played properly, some saw an easy match, but there was a lot at stake”declared the coach. He was referring to the necessary rebound for his team after the defeat and the numerous wasted opportunities against Atlético Madrid on Wednesday in the Champions League (2-1). Conversely Saturday “we were extremely effective, the blockage (mental in the Champions League, Editor’s note) will pass, it’s the start of a change”assured Luis Enrique.

Is the level of Ligue 1 in question? “If you look at Monaco and Brest (which have 10 points out of 12 in the Champions League, Editor’s note), it shows that the level of Ligue 1 is high”replied the technician. Paris “has good players, the quality is there, is it a question of pressure perhaps, we are going to score a lot of goals in the Champions League and in the championship”he warned.

For Angevin coach Alexandre Dujeux, “there were two distinct halves, for 45 minutes we watched them play, we were not conquerors”. Paris led 4-0 at halftime. “The risk is to collapse, the merit of the team is to hang on, and we win this second half 2-0”added Alexandre Dujeux.

At half time, “I told them that Paris is a superior team to us, yes, but that we have to show a better face, upset them in their possession of the ball, the reaction was good”he rejoiced.
