Paris Saint-Germain staged a thrilling Ligue 1 game away to Strasbourg, winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe and Asensio. After the game, coach Enrique gave a recap of his team's performance in an interview, while speaking about his attitude towards the Champions League and the upcoming game against Brest. This game is not only a victory, but also a test of the team's overall strength and tactics. So, what were the key moments that took place, and how did Enrique view the victory?
On Friday night, Paris Saint-Germain took on a strong Strasbourg in Ligue 1. This game means a lot for Paris as they need to continue to hold on to their leading position in the league. Enrique summed up the team's performance in his post-match interview, saying: "I'm happy, even happier than the other day. They were a good team, they didn't lose in nine games and pressed us from the first minute. ”
It wasn't all smooth sailing. In the first half, Strasbourg kept putting pressure on Paris, making Enrique lament: "We tried to play in the same way on the other side. Sometimes we can do it, we can hold the ball, we can find solutions in certain areas, but sometimes we can't. It also suggests that the team still needs to improve in the face of high pressure from their opponents.
At half-time, Enrique conveyed to his players the strategy for dealing with the opposition's risk: "We talked about how the opponent might take risks and we want to keep the ball. "In practice, this strategy, while feasible in theory, is fraught with difficulties in practice. Enrique admitted: "In football, you have to master all the rules and we dominated the game. You have to score more goals than your opponent and pass the ball to the opposing half as much as possible. ”
In the final stages of the game, Strasbourg exerted strong pressure on Paris. It was also a moment that Enrique considered normal, explaining: "It's normal when they tie the score. It's not just Paris that plays football, but the opponents also have their own strengths on the pitch and can play beautiful football. ”
Enrique expressed satisfaction with his team's victory, but still offered analysis and reflection on some of the details of the game. "We have to analyse the game against them, this game will be different from the others," he said. Strasbourg is also playing, you have to take risks, you have to find a solution quickly after finding an opportunity in Strasbourg, and our precision is a bit low. ”
In the interview, Enrique was also asked if he was worried about the upcoming Champions League match. However, he behaved quite calmly, and even revealed his disinterest in the Champions League: "In 12 days, we may all be 'dead'. I'm not interested in the Champions League, I'm thinking about the game against Brest, it's a cup game, it's the final for us. ”
The interview mentioned the pledge Enrique made in December last year. Enrique smiled at this: "March will be a little bit less good, April will be better, May will be not so good, June will be better. Our goal is to finish the season by the time we come on June 1st and to win all the titles, and we're brave now. ”
The match not only cheered the Parisian fans, but also strengthened Enrique's confidence in the team's success in all competitions. The Champions League is just around the corner and Enrique is clearly looking forward to the Brest game. Will the team be able to give it their all in the final and achieve their goals?
