Luis Enrique Remains Optimistic Despite PSG’s 3-2 Defeat to Nice

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique analyzed his team’s 3-2 defeat against Nice, finding positives despite the loss.

“In football, I believe Nice had more opportunities, more transitions, and they were more efficient, so their victory is deserved,” stated Luis Enrique. “I’ll tell you this, I am happier now than I was after the victory against Lyon because I witnessed a team whose players fought until the very last minute despite the challenges of the match. A defeat hurts, and we all need to progress, starting with me. However, I truly appreciated the attitude of each of my players.”

Discussing the three goals conceded, Luis Enrique acknowledged that two of them were deflected by PSG’s defenders. He emphasized that he didn’t want to make excuses and praised Nice for playing attractive football and earning their victory. Despite the setback, he expressed confidence that PSG would improve, particularly in their upcoming match on Tuesday against a tough opponent.

Luis Enrique also dismissed any notion of overreliance on Kylian Mbappé. “No, I have a team of great quality capable of scoring goals. Mbappé will always score, but I’m not worried when I see the quality of our attacking line.”

Luis Enrique’s optimism and focus on improvement reflect his commitment to developing PSG’s performance in the face of challenges.
