Luis Enrique Sets Major Season Goal for PSG
The upcoming match against AS Monaco holds significant importance for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The game is scheduled for Saturday and promises to be a critical test for the club. Historically, Monaco has had the upper hand against PSG, winning 45 out of 98 encounters.
Luis Enrique’s Ambition for PSG
PSG is currently feeling the pressure in the league, with Olympique de Marseille closely trailing just two points behind. Recently, Marseille achieved a notable victory over the league leader at the Vélodrome, marking its first win against PSG at home in 14 years. This shift in the competitive landscape has not gone unnoticed, as Leonardo Balerdi acknowledged during a press conference.
Current Team Dynamics
This season has been a rollercoaster for PSG, as they navigate a series of challenges. The team’s preparation was disrupted due to a short offseason following last season’s Champions League campaign, limiting their training sessions before facing top teams like Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup.
- PSG has suffered from multiple injuries, impacting key players such as:
- Ousmane Dembélé
- Warren Zaïre-Emery
- Achraf Hakimi
- Marquinhos
- Nuno Mendes
- Marco Verratti
- João Neves
Luis Enrique’s Strategy
Despite the challenges, Luis Enrique remains optimistic about PSG’s prospects. He has expressed confidence in his squad, not currently seeking winter reinforcements. Instead, he looks to rely on the recently joined young players to enhance his rotation. The primary goal remains clear: to reclaim the Champions League title this spring.
For Enrique, achieving a full-strength squad will be essential for PSG to realize its ambitions. The team’s performance on the pitch will be closely monitored as they strive toward this ultimate goal.
