Two away matches, two defeats. After Newcastle (4-1), Paris once again lost far from its bases, at San Siro this time, against AC Milan of Olivier Giroud, author of the second goal (2-1). Qualification is completely relaunched in this group, with the four teams held within three points, seven for Dortmund, first, and four for Newcastle, fourth. Luis Enrique was at a press conference after this setback to deliver his analysis. As is often the case after a defeat, he was not slow in his responses.
Are you satisfied with the attitude of the players?
LUIS ENRIQUE. In terms of attitude, I am satisfied. I have a worse idea of what happens in the match so I’ll have to watch it again. We were offensive. We helped make the match crazy, I would have liked us to control the match more, that it was a football match and not a tennis match where everyone answered each other.
How do you explain your less offensive second period?
There are always different phases in a match. Kylian had chances, Ousmane too. The match was balanced, we could have won. We lost him.
When your opponent shows aggression, your team lacks character. Would you like her to be tougher or meaner?
This is the high level. The match was very balanced and both teams could have won.
“I saw two teams without control, who lost it successively”
Physically, has your team exploded?
I do not share this opinion. I saw two teams without control, which lost it successively. I saw both teams win duels. The game was balanced in all areas. It was a very good match, of a very high level.
What is the difference between this defeat and that of Newcastle?
Regardless, these are defeats. The only criticism is our lack of control. I like it when we have it more. In general, we control better than AC Milan.
How do you judge Gianluigi Donnarumma’s match after his muscular welcome by San Siro?
He is experienced. He has a strong personality. We expected it because football is made of passion. »
