A laborious victory. This Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes, PSG won with difficulty against Nantes (2-1), thanks in particular to the goal of Randal Kolo Muani, former Canary. Four days before the trip to Dortmund, decisive for qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League, Paris has not lost anyone, even having recovered Marquinhos and Warren Zaire-Emery. Luis Enrique was at a press conference after this 8th success in a row in Ligue 1.
Is this a good rehearsal before the Champions League?
LUIS ENRIQUE. It seems to me, before this match on Wednesday, a great match, that we were good enough to win. It was tight. Nantes defended well, closed our possibilities well. This match strengthens our progress in Ligue 1 and serves as preparation for the Champions League.
“Our lives are at stake in Dortmund,” said Randal Kolo Muani. Do you agree ?
Football is pretty. Talking like this about life or death, we will wait. It’s a big match like a round of 16. We depend on ourselves. If we win, we won’t need to turn on the television to find out what happened in the other match.
What was the idea of installing Kylian Mbappé in the axis?
No. He did not play in the center but everywhere and as usual. He has the freedom to go central, to the sides, to play between the lines. Like in the other matches. He must also fulfill certain defensive tasks but he has total freedom in attack. Its role is the same as in other matches: freedom – freedom. It’s the same role for Kylian Mbappé in all matches. I repeat it because it is not true that it evolves in the axis.
How did you judge the offensive animation without Ousmane Dembélé?
He cannot play on Wednesday. I wanted to see other existing synergies with the players present. I wanted to see Bradley Barcola, see Marquinhos as well. Some may have played more than expected. We can meet certain objectives. But Ousmane Dembélé is unique, that’s for sure.
How do you judge Bradley Barcola’s performance?
It’s a very clear bet when we’re going to look for such a young player, who belongs to the under-23 selection. We like him a lot, he already has quite a few minutes with us. We like to give young people confidence by giving them playing time. He was superb. He was the most decisive of the players in the one-on-one, he had a very important match and scored an exceptional goal. I’m very happy for him. But there is nothing new.
