Rennes/PSG – Luis Enrique lets loose after the draw

Paris Saint-Germain traveled to face Stade Rennais this Sunday in the closing match of Ligue 1’s opening round and came away with just one point after a 2-2 draw (video highlights here). After the match, Luis Enrique, the Parisian club’s head coach, spoke to PSG TV about his players’ performance.

Luis Enrique: “It was very complicated, very difficult.”

“Today, it was more complicated than usual. In the first half, there were situations we didn’t control. Rennes produced very high-level counterattacks, and they managed to score two goals with great precision. It was very complicated, very difficult. We tried to change a few things, and I’m especially pleased with the five players who came on during the match. They all did a very good job. The supporters are incredible; whatever our performance, they are there helping the team. We thank them and hope to improve. That’s our job, and I hope we’ll be able to play much better.”

It was a hard-fought match and, above all, a great comeback from PSG in this opening league fixture. Trailing 2-0 away from home, the task looked difficult for Luis Enrique’s men, who are not yet at 100% physically. In the end, they managed to turn the game around by bringing the necessary intensity and, above all, by creating chances.

That is a very positive sign because, even without the win, it is clear to see that the mentality and determination are still there. Little by little, the Parisians will build momentum, so patience is needed and the players must be given time to find their rhythm and, above all, finish a summer preparation that has only just begun.
