As part of the 18th matchday of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted LOSC at the Parc des Princes (3-0 video highlights here). After the match, Luis Enrique, coach of the Parisian team, reflected on his players’ performance at the microphone of PSG TV.

Enrique: "The result does not clearly reflect the difference between Lille and Paris Saint-Germain"

“It was a complicated match. They managed to break through our pressing with ease. That’s not usual because our way of pressing is generally effective. Today, the first half was catastrophic without the ball, and with the ball we lacked precision and quality, so it was very complicated. We were able to change our pressing a little bit in the second half and that changed the match. We played a better second half, but the result does not clearly reflect the difference between Lille and Paris Saint-Germain in this match.”

Enrique: "Ousmane made some incredible attacking moves but he lacks the defensive aspect."

“The second goal is a PlayStation goal, only a player with Ousmane’s quality can do that. Everyone will say Ousmane is the best player but for me, no, we still need to see the best version of Ousmane defensively, because we need a player like him with a defensive mentality. He showed it last year and this year, he needs to keep going like that. We need to improve that. I think today, Ousmane made some incredible attacking moves but he lacks the defensive aspect. He is the leader of this team in that defensive aspect.” “My 100th win on the bench? Not bad, but we have to keep going. I’d like a thousand, there’s still a very long way to go.”

PSG’s performance this Friday is reassuring at first, as it comes just three days after being eliminated from the Coupe de France by Paris FC. It was important for the players to get back to winning in the best possible way. Overall, this Parisian team still had difficulties in this match, with a lack of intensity in defensive transitions and pressing.

This has been an ongoing issue for several matches and will need to be corrected, especially with the return of the Champions League. On his side, Ousmane Dembélé once again showed the full extent of his talent. A Ballon d’Or-worthy goal, for the reigning Ballon d’Or winner, confirming his status. Images that will go around the world and remind everyone that PSG currently has the best striker in its squad.
