“If I fail, it will be my ideas, not the journalist’s ideas” | Relief

Thanks to Angel Correa’s goal in the last play of the game, and with no time left for more, the team PSG He lowered his knee to the ground. Again. They had much more opportunities than Atlético Madridscored many more shots than the Rojiblancos and dominated their opponents all night, but remained scoreless. Luis Enrique’s side lost again in Europe and signed PSG’s worst start to the Champions League since they played it again in 2012. L’Equipe’s front page at the end of the match had a very clear message: “maddening“.

At the end of the match, Luis Enrique and his players, but under the guidance of the Asturian coach, They walked to the back of the stadium to thank the fans for their support.to which he also applauded. “Paris disappoints again in this Champions League,” concluded RMC Sport live.

“It was a joke to see us concede a goal

“Luis Enrique said at a press conference. “They scored a goal for us by sneezing. We did more than the four opponents we faced and we have four points. This is completely unfair. I am true to my ideas, and when I fail in football, it will be because of my ideas, not the ideas of a journalist or another coach.“, he explained.

After four rounds, PSG have only four points. Three of them came in the first game against Girona thanks to Gazzaniga’s fateful mistake – also in stoppage time, a curious fate by the way – and the remaining fourth was against PSV in Paris. So they failed to win at the Parc des Princes and the horizon poses threats. to regain lost positions: Bayern (away), RB Salzburg (away), Manchester City (home), Stuttgart (away).

The reality is that PSG is not among the first 24 classified (it is 25th). and right now he would be completely excluded from the Champions League. According to forecasts, Luis Enrique’s charges should add at least three or four more points to guarantee your pass to the next qualifying round.

Luis Enrique can’t explain it.

The lack of strength on the pitch prevented the Parisians from gaining more points. If against Atlético they deserved to finish the game before the final stretch (they took the lead thanks to Zaire-Emery’s goal), then this season’s data confirms it. The problem is not production: they score more goals than any other team in the Champions League (21 per game) and take fewer shots than anyone else (5.3 on average).

.

“I’ve been in football for over 30 years and I can’t explain it. no words“, Luis Enrique explained into the Canal+ microphones. And then he analyzed PSG’s trajectory in this Champions League: “I think that in the three home games we were infinitely superior to the opponent, but we were unlucky. As long as we have games, we will fight. This is a failure. We were infinitely superior to our enemy. Today I feel left out and so do my players. but tomorrow there will be time to analyze the game with a cool head and get up after all this.”

And he added: “I have no doubt that we are on the right path, in an incredible and probably unpublished series, but the reality is that Soccer doesn’t reward scoring chances, soccer rewards goals

“.

In the confrontation with Atlético Luis Enrique chose Asensio as a false nine, flanked by Dembele and Barcola.. And there was no goal. “Anyone who watched the game cannot say that the result was fair. It was a joke. We need 20 clear chances to score a goal. The opponent sneezed us and scored a goal“, he said. While in Ligue 1 they didn’t have that problem – they lead by six points over Olympique Marseille after just 10 games – in the Champions League there is a different criterion and right now it says that they dropped out.
