PSG secures victory with early goal

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) showcased their improving form as they clinched a win against Lens on Saturday. The decisive moment came from an early goal by Ousmane Dembélé, setting the tone for the match. While the game wasn’t flawless, coach Luis Enrique expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance.

Coach’s perspective: Satisfaction amidst challenges

Enrique acknowledged the anticipated challenges against the aggressive Lens side, noting, “Am I completely satisfied? Yes, because we knew it would be a tough match against a very aggressive Lens team. We managed to handle it well, although we missed some opportunities and lacked a bit of calmness. But I’m very happy with my team and I like what I see,” the Spanish coach remarked.

Focus on team attitude and progress

Despite not securing a comfortable lead by the end, Enrique emphasized his contentment with the team’s attitude and energy. “I really like my team; they have the right attitude and we create many scoring chances. We always play with the same energy. This year, I believe we are even better than last season. The goal is to maintain ball possession more than our opponents,” he commented.

Areas for improvement

Before wrapping up, Enrique pointed out a concern: “Today, there were too many transitions at one point, and that’s not good. It indicates that the structure isn’t right for pressing,” he admitted, highlighting an area for potential enhancement in their strategy.
