Lille/PSG – Luis Enrique proud of his players after the draw

Paris Saint-Germain traveled to face LOSC this Friday in the opening match of Ligue 1’s second round and had to snatch a 2-2 draw at the very last minute after trailing 2-0 (highlights here). Speaking to PSG TV, Luis Enrique, the capital club’s head coach, looked back on the result.

Luis Enrique: “The team showed its ability to fight until the very last minute.”

“That has been this team’s trademark over the last three years. When everyone thinks we are dead, we have the ability to change that. It feels good, we are happy. Today, I think we deserved more than this result, but that’s football. Football is not fair, you have to score goals. I think we deserved this point. You might think that two points from two matches is not much, but when you think about the results we got last year in Rennes and Lille, then we have won one more point from those two games. We are trying to stay positive. Of course, we need to improve and perform at another level. But I think today the team showed its ability to fight until the very last minute.”

A late comeback from this Paris side, which escaped miraculously after trailing for most of the match. There are still a great many things to improve at the start of the season. The players are not yet physically ready, there have been many changes in the squad, and there will be more to come, which disrupts the preparation. What must be remembered nonetheless is this team’s mentality.

As in the match against Rennes (2-2), the Parisians managed to come back after trailing 2-0. That is an important sign and a very positive one for the future. Despite its current weaknesses, this team still shows up and manages to fight until the very last minute to get a result. These first two away matches therefore remain very positive, but it would also do a lot for confidence to win at home against Monaco next Friday.
