Luis Enrique uses Sporting to explain dreadful start to the season | OneFootball

Luis Enrique is not alarmed by PSG’s difficult start in Ligue 1 and, interestingly, turned to Sporting to explain the team’s current situation. After the defeat against Monaco (2-1), the Spanish coach recalled several matches in which he felt the Parisians were superior, including the game against the Lions in the Champions League last season.

"It’s the typical game where you are better than your opponent, create more chances, but the opposing goalkeeper is the best player on the pitch. Like the games we played against Newcastle, Atlético de Madrid, Sporting or Liverpool two years ago", he said.

The reference comes at a time when PSG have picked up only two points after three matchdays and are already seven behind the leaders. Even so, the Spanish coach sees the gap as motivation. "It’s incredible motivation for my players, for the team, for the club. If you want to bet on who will be champions at the end of the league season, we can bet. Seven points? Ok, we’ll try to fix that as quickly as possible", he fired back.

Luis Enrique also addressed the contract extension until 2030, announced by the club before the match against Monaco. The coach admitted he is more motivated than when he arrived in Paris and revealed his desire to remain in charge of PSG for many years. "It’s the first time I’m doing a fourth year at the same club. I’m more motivated than in the first year. I hope to stay in Paris for a long time, but you have to earn it. That is my motivation today", he concluded.
