Mallorca/PSG – Luis Enrique focuses on what matters and looks ahead

Paris Saint-Germain lost 3-0 to Mallorca (video highlights Mallorca/PSG) this Wednesday at the Son Moix Stadium in a friendly match. After the game, PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke to PSG TV.

“It’s a match to improve our physical condition.”

“It’s difficult to make a fair analysis. I think we had an interesting first half, but we made a mistake on the second goal we conceded and that made things difficult. But I’m happy with what I saw, I saw the Titis play very well. It’s a match to improve our physical condition. It’s not the result we would have liked, but football is like that. When you play against Paris Saint-Germain, it’s motivation for every team, that’s normal. It’s our first week of preparation, we had a lot of Titis in the team. They are very young players, and I have to highlight their level and their mentality. In three days, we’re going to play another warm-up match. It’s normal, we’re waiting for our internationals to return to really see our team.”

Of course, the players and staff always prefer to win. However, there is no need to panic over this defeat in a friendly. As is often repeated, the main objective in this kind of match is to work in order to prepare for what comes next. There was also a difference in sharpness, since Mallorca resumed earlier, had a more complete squad, and had already played 2 matches.

The Parisian team was mainly made up of young players, some of whom were playing their first professional match, while there were 11 absentees. No major conclusions should be drawn. Even if a little better was hoped for, especially on that second goal conceded, which was clearly avoidable.

What matters now is using this match going forward, as there are still things to take from it. But without dwelling on it. PSG above all need to keep working with competition in mind, which returns on August 12 with the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa. There is also a second friendly on the way, this Saturday against Manchester United.
