Following PSG's success in Salzburg (0-3), Luis Enrique was generally satisfied with the performance of his team while emphasizing its room for improvement two days before the end of this league phase.
PSG is relatively relieved. Tuesday evening, in Austria, the team led by Luis Enrique won in Salzburg (0-3) and at the same time preserved its chances of finishing in the top 24 – the position occupied by the capital club before the matches this Wednesday evening. Following his team's second victory in this league phase, Luis Enrique generally underlined his overall satisfaction even if the technician was rather nuanced in his analysis. “In truth, it was not a better match than against PSV Eindhoven and Atlético. It was even worse. These are the vagaries of football”, proclaimed the Asturian, dissatisfied with the balance sheet of his team.
Luis Enrique: “We have fewer points than we should have”
And for good reason, in his eyes, PSG should have a few more units on the clock. “We have fewer points than we should have. There is room for improvement. This result strengthens the team”, judged Luis Enrique necessarily projected on the last two C1 meetings, including the reception of Manchester City , “a very small team (irony)”, on January 22 at the Parc des Princes, before the conclusion in Stuttgart, on January 29.
Al-Khelaïfi still more of a fan of the “best coach in the world”
Tuesday evening was, for Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the umpteenth opportunity to reaffirm all his admiration for Luis Enrique. As so often in recent weeks, the president supported his coach. “We have the best coach in the world. We have built a long-term project with him. He is a very good coach”, he highlighted in the mixed zone, truly relieved by this victory before the rest of the tournament which he considered confident. “The last two matches are finals. Everyone knows that. With our supporters, our stadium, it’s going to be important.”
