Bayern/PSG – Dugarry outraged by Luis Enrique's tactical call | OneFootball

The instructions for Paris Saint-Germain’s 27-year-old goalkeeper Matvei Safonov were clear during the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich (1-1, 5-6 on aggregate): put the ball out for a throw-in on every goal kick, especially on the right side. An instruction that prompted a reaction from Christophe Dugarry, the 1998 World Cup winner who is now a pundit on RMC.

Dugarry: “That’s great, then he should take up rugby”

If it is really so difficult for a pundit to understand a coach’s tactic imposed in a Champions League semi-final, one that secured qualification for the final, that makes no sense. In order to deal in particular with Olise and Bayern’s attack, Luis Enrique had to find strategies, and this was one of them. It paid off and contributed greatly to the draw as well as qualification.

At this stage, all that remains is to praise the performance, whether it came from the bench or on the pitch. These matches are decided by details, and those clearances out for throw-ins were one of them, ultimately making the difference against Bayern’s strategy. It is a shame that Dugarry, a “specialist” behind the microphone of one of the “major French media outlets,” cannot acknowledge that.
