Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique sent a strong message when talking about the schedule of the capital club, which faces Nice on Friday evening in the opening match of the 5th day of Ligue 1.
Runner-up to AS Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain will return to the field tomorrow evening when Nice comes to the Parc des Princes, a poster which will launch the 5th day of Ligue 1. But for the faithful of the capital club, who will have the opportunity to pay tribute to Italian midfielder Marco Verratti, the main thing is perhaps elsewhere.
Enrique does not want to project himself
After this match against Francesco Farioli’s Aiglons, the reigning French champion will begin the group stage of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, next Tuesday at the Parc des Princes, a highly anticipated first European meeting scheduled five days before the Clasico against Olympique de Marseille, the following Sunday, once again at home.
If these two meetings will undoubtedly excite the fans more, Luis Enrique doesn’t care. At a press conference, the Spanish manager explained that he was only concerned about the reception of the Gym. “We are only thinking about the Nice meeting. We are not planning on the next matches. We gradually recovered the players after the break, and we prepared for the match against Nice.”
Difficult to believe in this speech aimed above all at keeping the partners of Kylian Mbappé under pressure, whose tendency seems to be present in the group after his patellar tendon injury contracted with the Blues, a physical problem which caused him to miss the friendly meeting in Germany (1-2).
Before the international break, Paris easily won on the pitch of Olympique Lyonnais (4-1) with a double from Kylian Mbappé and goals from Achraf Hakimi and Marco Asensio.
