Asked after the match lost against Arsenal on Tuesday, Luis Enrique gave a response full of contempt when it came to his tactical choices.
While passing their first real test this season, PSG suffered their first defeat of the season on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium. Weighed down by two approximations from Gianluigi Donnarumma, the French champions actually lost 2-0, displaying obvious shortcomings despite the best observed in the second half.
The choice to play once again without a professional center forward was paid at a high price by the capital club but when it came to his tactical choices, Luis Enrique was not very talkative in front of the journalist from Canal+, at the end of the meeting. True to his bad habits when dealing with the press, the Spanish coach even made fun of his interlocutor.
Luis Enrique’s response full of contempt
“If I can explain my tactical idea to you? No, I have no intention of explaining my tactics because you wouldn’t understand them. We’re going to have to correct a lot of things, the team needs to correct a lot of things. But I don’t intend to explain that.”he said in a scathing tone. And the former midfielder was not more charitable when it came to Ousmane Dembélé, removed from the group by the Catalan technician after a heated discussion on Saturday, the day after the victory against Rennes.
“What has Dembélé’s absence changed? Mhhh… (He shrugs). Will he rejoin the team? Uh… (He shrugs his shoulders),” he whispered, being more forthcoming when admitting his team’s difficulties.
“The match, in terms of intensity, was very high, with a very aggressive Arsenal, particularly in terms of pressing, a dangerous Arsenal, who were superior to us in the first half in each duel. From 2-0, the match changes, they were a little higher and we were a little lower on the pitch. We weren’t up to par, Arsenal deserved their victory.”he agreed.
