Luis Enrique had surprised everyone on the eve of the reception of Manchester City in the Champions League. With this statement, the Spanish coach was tackling his own center-forward, Gonçalo Ramos, implying that he did not have the level of his Norwegian counterpart and that he was not a real world class number. Nevertheless, who came into play against the Cityzens, the former nugget of Benfica had the opportunity to initial Parisian success by scoring a goal in the last moments (90th+6).

A trio that many observers see as the most complementary and versatile offensive trident that the Spanish coach can align since the winter arrival of the Georgian winger. Unfortunately for the Portuguese international, he had too many waste in the last gesture. And even though he had a golden opportunity to answer the clumsy remarks of his coach, it was hardly this Saturday evening.
Less effective tenure
Faced with Reims, Gonçalo Ramos pulled three times for two striped strikes well arrested by Yehvann Diouf (14th, 26th). He could have done better on the opportunistic opportunity where he gets into the brushes (26th): “Gonçalo Ramos? The most interesting is the team. We have created fewer opportunities today. I have nothing to question at the level of my players. I repeat: the general idea was to win of course, but beyond the result, it was difficult to create opportunities. Beyond that, I don’t have to complain about the attitude of my players. They tried everything. But there were not many spaces and we had to find solutions», Preferred to put Luis Enrique into perspective.

You are going to have a lot of the ball but it is difficult to find spaces, it is played on the goal occasions. We had a lot of the ball but it’s hard to find spaces to create goal opportunities. You have to have success on the few opportunities you are going to have. We had little, it’s true, less than usual, but when you manage to take the advantage in the score and you get caught up, it cost us the victory“Concluded Luis Enrique. With the arrival of Khvicha KVaratskhelia, offensive competition will continue to harden despite the lending departure from Randal Kolo Muani, especially since the Spanish coach showed this evening that he was able to align Bradley Barcola on the right and the Georgian in a role of false nine.
