The head coach of the French PSG, Louis Henrique, stood up after a sensational defeat to Paris (0:1) in the 1/16 finals of the French Cup.

“The line between overcoming and defeat is even thinner. In whose match we clearly deserved victory.

This season is unusual from the looks of it, but it’s not all about the sicknesses, but also about the illnesses and attackers.. We have spent more game hours and played without injuries, but we would have liked to have been in top form in all positions by the end of the season, and not just in the center of the field..

We are in a different situation than last season, because we will have four fewer matches in the Cup and, I bet, two fewer games than Liza champions, which means we are taking away another victory. This means that we organize training and playing hours in tournaments differently. We decided to play more matches - if there are fewer of them, training becomes easier.

Matches bring players into good shape, but also pose a risk of injury. During the hour of matches there is struggle, injuries, more problems than in training. Our approach to this season is changing a little, and before we called.

I don’t remember if we did tactical exercises, because we play every day for three days, and it’s impossible to conduct normal tactical exercises. In the coming months we will be working on this. We carry out a great deal of work on the tactical aspects of defense and attack, vikory and video analysis. “Everyone knows how we press, and I sing that we can still be short, unimportant to those who work even more effectively,” said Enrique.
