For many commentators, the defeat conceded by PSG on the pitch of Bayern Munich can be attributed to Luis Enrique, author of a big error by starting Matvey Safonov.
PSG is in a (very) unfortunate position in the Champions League. Beaten 1-0 on the pitch at Bayern Munich on Tuesday, on the fifth day of the group stage, the capital club saw qualification move a little further away. And for many, Luis Enrique bears responsibility for this new failure. The fault lies with the eleven lined up at kick-off.
The Spanish technician first abandoned his usual 4-3-3 to opt for a 4-2-2 with only Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé up front. The absence of No. 9 made people cringe. “ PSG had a glaring offensive deficit. It was so poor. We've had matches with a false 9, yesterday there wasn't even a 9 left. It was zero 9″, said Bixente Lizarazu in the columns of L'Equipe, adding:
“The 4-4-2 chosen was very poor. I didn't understand. »
“Luis Enrique will no longer see Donnarumma”
But this 4-4-2 was not the only complaint against the former midfielder. His choice to start Matvey Safonov in place of Gianluigi Donnarumma was not more appreciated, especially since the Russian goalkeeper made a big mistake on the goal conceded by the Parisians. “PSG now has two goalkeepers who are not confident. By not starting Donnarumma in Munich, even if he has not always done well, Luis Enrique puts him in difficulty and Safonov misses the goal, lamented the 98 world champion. In fact, contrary to the intended goal, competition will be negative for both. You have two goalkeepers who are less good. »
And the Basque's opinion is shared by Daniel Riolo. “The problem is not the blunder, it’s why embarrass yourself in this game with the goalkeepers? 'I put you on, I put you on'. Now he has lost Donnarumma. It's over, Luis Enrique will no longer see Donnarumma, he thundered on the airwaves of RMC. But why did you need to do that? It's not like you brought in Sepp Maier or Lev Yashin. You brought in Safonov, the former Krasnodar goalkeeper! Are we talking about the goal? The guy was ridiculous. »
