Luis Enrique Addresses PSG’s Competition with OM in Ligue 1

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) finds itself in a competitive position in Ligue 1. Currently, they sit second in the standings, just one point behind Olympique de Marseille (OM). This contrasts sharply with their performance during the same period last season when they took the lead over AS Monaco. The season began with PSG facing numerous injuries to key players, including Ousmane Dembélé, Loïs Openda, Marquinhos, Fabian Ruiz, and Matheus Nunes.

Luis Enrique’s Perspective on PSG’s Competition with OM

During a press conference ahead of PSG’s upcoming match against Stade Brestois, coach Luis Enrique discussed the perceived challenges his team faces this season. Some observers believe that the resurgence of OM, who have shown a robust performance in the league, indicates a tougher road ahead for the reigning European champions.

Analyzing Performance vs. Results

Enrique emphasized that critics often focus solely on results rather than the overall performance of the team.
He pointed out that despite fielding different lineups due to injuries, the team maintains the same identity and mentality.

Enrique stated, “I have witnessed the same team play in Ligue 1 as in the Champions League. Different results, yet the same style and approach.” He stresses that while the standings show PSG trailing OM, this does not concern him.

Confidence in Team’s Ability to Progress

In his remarks, Enrique expressed confidence in his squad, stating, “You are worried about the team trailing by a point; I am not. As the coach of PSG, I focus on our performance.” He further emphasized that their main goal is to secure wins rather than merely reclaiming the top spot.

PSG aims to succeed in upcoming away matches against Brest and Lorient.
Despite the challenges, the team is determined to win all of their remaining matches.

Enrique’s unwavering stance reflects his belief in the team’s potential and experience. He reassured fans that the squad is well-prepared to meet the challenges ahead in Ligue 1 as they strive to secure their place at the top.
