"A war machine": Luis Enrique's PSG still impresses this legend

Presnel Kimpembe, 30-year-old defender for Qatar SC after leaving Paris Saint-Germain last summer, was invited by L’Equipe to discuss the current season of his formative club. The Titi is very confident about PSG, despite a few disappointing results.

Kimpembe: “That’s what’s crazy too.”

I think it’s still the same team as last season. The others are trying to get a bit more into the game, but it remains a war machine. Technically, tactically, in terms of counter-pressing… Everyone is still just as involved, that’s what’s crazy too. Last season, at this point, everyone had written us off. You can neither foresee nor predict football. It’s madness. Then suddenly, there was the Manchester City match (4-2, January 22 in the Champions League) and that was a turning point.

A lover of PSG, Kimpembe is inevitably a bit “guided” in his opinion. However, there is also some truth, which probably hasn’t been emphasized enough lately. The Parisians have lacked efficiency, which has spoiled some results and can, of course, be pointed out. But it’s a shame to overlook the great qualities in their play.

Especially for a Paris side without a proper physical preparation, which has had to build up strength as the season goes on and adapt to several major absences. This was a season everyone predicted would be very difficult, and it’s a shame to forget that because of a few slip-ups. Above all, we can highlight that PSG is actually progressing quite well and there is hope for a very good end to the season. Even if inefficiency and the “magic” of football cost them the Coupe de France.
